I've been ripping a lot of my less watched DVDs in order to charityerise them.  As a result they've got imported into Itunes where there's a description field that's proven way too tempting.

So here's the 1 line description I have a few films. Can you spot the film?

1) "Charmless man is really good at computer games". (Shin - Post 2)
2) "People who are not British steal thing, lose it and steal it back from a place that isn't Italy." (Ace - Post 5)
3) "Idiot ignores clearly written instructions regarding care of pets" (Shin - Post 2)
4) "Accident prone teens ruin lucky break with even more accidents." (Ace - Post 5)
5) "Implausibly proportioned woman steals implausible artifact from implausible baddies using implausible guns." (Shin - Post 2)
6) "Catherine Zeta-Jones robs a museum. Sean Connery robs the cradle." (Sheepeh - Post 4)
7) "Creatures that are in no way Pokemon do things that are absolutely distinguishable from things a Pokemon would do."

Correct on all 3 counts, I thought the first one you got was actually the tricky one Smiley

Ace - 2 is correct. 4 is the first film in that series, the 2nd one got the description "Accident prone teen and new friends fail to learn from first film."

Sheepeh - It is indeed.

I assume you're all too cool for number 7.

Actually while we're at it, as Shin guessed.

"Charmless man is really good at computer games"

is the Matrix.

Matrix Reloaded is "Carismaless man continues to be very good at computer game."
And Revolutions is "Carismaless man hangs around and lets his friends do all the hard work. Then dies."

Sheepeh got 7 on IRC, which was Digimon the movie.

"Boy takes drugs in desert, uses new-found mastery of giant worm to splash everyone with shocking moisture" Davydd GET

"Like The Matrix, but with beards and sandals" Ace GET

"Laughing man saws off evil hand" Davydd GET

"Crap dancing infant brings together useless family in rubbish van" Ace GET

DAVY D IS AGAIN CORRECT.

That leaves two of mine to be found.  Someone else should have a go at thinking some up, esp. since you all guessed Dudley's before I saw 'em Wink
