Fun stuff #1: Movie Titles Missing the Last Letter

Zulu Romeo

Zulu Romeo

World Famous Starship Captain
Admiral
Inspired by an e-mail to Colin Murray's afternoon show on BBC Five Live yesterday afternoon (in time for the Kermode and Mayo Film Reviews section, which this week featured Andrew Collins, small bursts of Mark Kermode and James King, and no Simon Mayo), in which a listener imagined how movies might have turned out had the very last letter or digit been dropped off from the title.

So on the show we were treated to gems such as:
Watchme
The Ome
Jurassic Par
Falling Dow
Alien (the sequel to Alie)
Superma
Apocalypse No
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pear
30


I wonder if anyone here can consider other similar examples? (You know you want to. ;))
 
I guess I can't understand what the "point" of this is.

American Pi.

IJ and the Temple of Doo.

Who Killed Roger Rabbi?
 
28 Days Late: The story of the worst delivery company ever.
Return of the Jed: Buddy Ebsen goes back to the hills.
Revenge of the Sit: Documentary chronicling America's obesity epidemic.
Star Trek: First Contac: Time-travel epic about the quest to ensure the invention of cold medicine.
Nosferat: Animated comedy about a rodent vampire.

And then of course there's Fritz Lang's . (That is to say...)
