OK, here's a little activity, based on the POTA confusion in another thread. One person at a time submits a movie abbreviated by its initials. For example...

POTA would be Planet of the Apes
LOTR is Lord of the Rings
TGTBATU is short for The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

So, going from the initials we try to decipher what movie they're referring to. The first person to correctly identify the acronym posts a new one.

Easy enough, yeah? First one to start it off....
