Cheaper by the Dirty Dozen

I've been thinking. For all that I read, the book title thing just wan't jelling for me. So, movies crams:

  • Cheaper by the Dirty Dozen - a group of hardened criminals must lead unruly children into enemy territory.
  • Enter Pete's Dragon Cute singing Dragon defeats small lonely boy in brutal martial arts duel to the death.
  • -or- Pete's Dragonslayer - Lonely boy finds friendship with cute dragon, only to see dragon killed by smelly medieval knight.
  • 28 Days a Week - the Beatles go into rehab, leading to psychadelic hijinks and musical numbers.
  • -or- 28 Days of the Condor - After all of his coworkers are killed, Robert Redford gains sobreity while outwitting duplicitous CIA officials in rehab.
  • 2001 Dalmations Lots of cute puppies go to Jupiter and become superbeings. Many are killed en route by a malevolent computer.
  • Threefer: Planet of the Apes of Wrath Intelligent apes fight Bugs Bunny in a dust bowl landscape of existential despair.

I won't even start with the porn titles.
