One Letter Off Movies

[Gambit37]

A meme popped up on Twitter at the weekend: "One Letter Off Movies" -- you simply take a movie title and change one letter to make something funny. Most people simply posted the changed names, but I also tried to come up with a synopsis. In a fit of egomania, here's mine, perhaps you can add some of your own?
