I'm not sure if this is too "spammy" even for new OT (if so then can we move to H&J?), but it's doing the rounds on twitter and is pretty fun so I think we should give it a shot here!

Examples:

A hockey player goes to summer camp [Friday the 13th]
Kid sees dead people, including the main adult character, who nobody else can see (because he's dead) [6th Sense]
Sorry, not allowed to talk about it. [Fight Club]
Leonardo DiCaprio and his friends enter people while they are sleeping. [Inception]

Note that you may prefer not to say the film title, for comedic effect.

GO!
