If you watch Memento backwards (which I have done, chapter by chapter) the protagonist becomes a completely psycho asshole antagonist to everyone he meets. Of course, this movie was actually supposed to be watched backwards to get exactly this effect.

The wheelchair-bound ex-captain of a controversial top-tier high school football team is backed over by an unwary driver, but the accident miraculous heals him.  The all-American player returns to the team, which continues to play admirably.  However, the team dynamic soon crumbles and friendships dissolve from racial tensions.  A tough training camp fails to revive the team's past camaraderie and all involved realize that integration was a bad idea all along. :(



A young widow uses her mystical Japanese sword and various firearms to raise from the dead several more powerful necromancers, as well as their numerous henchmen.  The strain causes her to fall into a 4 year coma.  When she awakens, she is mysteriously - but joyously - pregnant.  At last, she and her necromancer friends gather together in a church to revive her deceased husband.  She then annulls the marriage and joins the necromancers in bringing life back to many more lucky people.



Undead "monsters" have the power to bestow true human life upon other undead beings by regurgitating grey matter and human flesh.  These noble creatures shamble across a post-apocalyptic landscape, literally giving their all to restore the human race to its former glory.  Eventually, the last remaining zombies return themselves to the warmth of the earth to rest.  After some time they emerge from their slumber, reborn with a soul.  They reunite with their families in the happy ending.

It's rather amusing how many of these end up with multiple resurrections.

Once the misunderstanding was cleared up and he understood that the princess was, in fact, held in another castle, the plumber helped Bowser out of the lava pool and repaired his bridge. He left the castle and, on his way home, pulled goombas out of the mud and found shells for many homeless koopas.

In World War II, a group of men secretly enter Nazi Germany from neighboring countries and are joined by English spies who are freed by the SS. They break into a prison camp using a secret tunnel, which they then fill in behind them, forge their identity papers, and learn how to pass as German citizens.

A huma spits out a potion that turns him into a llama after deciding to not put his summer house on a certain peasant's hill, then goes on a crazy adventure with some peasant trying to chase down an old lady and large man. Slowly, the peasant convinces the llama to build his summer house on his hill, and the old lady becomes empress. The llama, now much meaner than at the beginning, reaches the castle, spits out a potion that turns him into a human, takes over as emperor, and finally decides to take down the peasant's home and build his summer home on his hill.

A swashbuckling pirate returns a runaway princess to her kingdom. The pirate is carried into the forest by his two companions, where a weird old man almost kills him. Fortunately, the grateful prince revives him with a giant machine. The pirate repays this act of kindness by running off with the princess again. The two of them journey through a swamp, but then he abandons her on a hillside. The princess joins up with the pirate's former companions one by one and they attempt to chase him down, but eventually outruns them. The companions drop her off at her old kingdom, but years later the pirate shows up again and they finally go to retire happily on a farm.

I was just thinking this... you can get a sense for the "entropy" of a movie by how sensible it works backwards.

Against all calculable odds, bits of space dust coalesce to form a humongous rock hurtling away from Earth, and also Bruce Willis?! So they go to space in order to rescue Bruce Willis.

An ecstatic man's mood turns sour as he regurgitates green eggs and ham. He proceeds to angrily rhyme about his refusal to try this plate of vomit despite the insistence of some small fellow, although he gradually calms down.

If you watch my league match against Rabid backwards, I'm actually having a great start.

The real thing went 0-1, 0-2, ... , 0-5, 1-5, with me giving away game 1 through a blunder and doing something totally nonsensical in game 2.

I've always liked Phineas and Ferb, so here goes:

Local boys have mysterious inventions appear in their back yard after a kind pharmicist beams the inventions down to them, but after they let other people enjoy their inventions, they disassemble them for scrap metal, which makes their sister angry. After the man beams down the invention, a platypus is then captured, but always escapes by kicking down the man's front door. Then the platypus gets thanked for his work, reappears after the boys find out he's missing, and the boys then eat breakfast.

EDIT : I know it's a kids show, but I channel surfed, saw the first few minutes, and continued to watch, and I enjoyed it.

A terminally ill drug lord slowly rebuilds relationships with his estranged family members and dismantles his criminal empire while his cancer goes into remission.  In the end, he settles down and puts his "cooking" skills to good use as a high school chemistry teacher.



A huge ensemble cast of (mostly British) characters have flourishing, fulfilling relationships with each other.  One month later, at Christmas, all of those relationships begin to crumble.  By the end, they have all become strangers.

Technically speaking, much of what I have here is not much of a spoiler for Guardians of the Galaxy, but there is a rather unexpected post-credit scene that I would not want to spoil for anyone.


A badass group of do-gooders/ne'er-do-wells steals a powerful artifact from the government and creates a mighty warrior out of nothing. After much mayhem, they decide in prison to go their separate ways and get into a fight once they're free. Starlord safeguards the infinity stone on a ruined planet. Meanwhile, the entire time, the comedic relief states, "Groot am I!"

Super secret spoiler:
...after an intro by Howard the Duck
