    Based on a previous chat on here its possible to summarise many films a la Bossman. As an initial offering I would suggest:
    The Ten Commandments - Jewish ex prince comes back to free his folk. Gets short shrift. Causes problems. Folk get freed. End.

    Any suggestions?

    Star Wars episodes IV - IV

    Orphan finds out he's magic, also finds out he's not an orphan, close call with some incest, kills an old dude, dad dies so is now a genuine orphan, small bipedal bears celebrate. There are some ghosts.

    Prefer Malcolm Tuckers description :)

    Malcolm Tucker : It's time for you to step up Ollie. What's that film that you love?

    Oliver Reeder : What film?

    Malcolm Tucker : The one about the f@*@* hairdresser, the space hairdresser and the cowboy. The guy, he's got a tin foil pal and a pedal bin. His father's a robot and he's f*#&$& f*&*@& his sister. Lego! They're all made of f***$* Lego.

    Oliver Reeder : Star Wars?

    Malcolm Tucker : That's the one, right. It's like that, okay? Where you f*@**@* kill all the bad guys, and you'll be able to blow up the big...

    Oliver Reeder : Death Star.

    Malcolm Tucker : The Death Star thing. Then you can go and live happily ever after on the planet of the teddy bears.

    Oliver Reeder : They're Ewoks, they're Ewoks. It's a fantastic analogy, well done

    Rent-a-cockney-hardman is living in Spain. He kills Gandhi, meets Lovejoy and robs a swimming pool.
