Seen on a theatre marquee

We were driving up North Point Parkway, when [livejournal.com profile] kitanzi spotted the movie listings for the UA Movie Theatre. The last three entries in the first column read:

TRANSFORMERS
KNOCKED UP
HARRY POTTER

Yeesh. It's getting so you can't go *anywhere* without running into spoilers!

My son and I used to play a game I always meant to send to F&SF. We'd find two movies on a bill that made a phrase (and one of them had to be SF or fantasy). The example that kicked off this game was
SNOW WHITE
THE FIRM

I like yours better.

From a 1991 movie marquis, IIRC:

THELMA AND LOUISE
EATING
ROBIN HOOD

That one wins...except maybe this one, from way waaaaay back, that I happen to remember seeing a picture of on TV:

ALIEN
MEATBALLS
ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ

That...that....is hilarious.

Yes, please

LOL! "knocked up" was just *made* to be the middle name on movieboards.

*applause* for all of these!

I saw this on a flight status board in the Madrid, Spain airport circa 1986:

Bomb Tokyo

I can only assume the plane was going to Bomb Bay and continuing to Tokyo

Darn, I wish some of these linked to actual photographs--I could so use one for one of my lesson plans!
