Movie Inspiration

I've done a contest for my favorite actresses and my favorite actors and now I am doing one for my favorite movies. Pick one and use it as your inspiration.

Rules
1. No adult material.
2. No sticky caps, all caps, are bizarre free verse text effects.
3. It must be obviously inspired by the film chosen and you must put the name of the film in your author's notes.

Rhyme and meter highly preferred.


The List:

Sweeney Todd

Hidalgo

Braveheart

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Jurassic Park

The Lost World

The Lord of the Rings

Benny and Joon

Finding Neverland

The Nightmare Before Christmas

Corpse Bride

Edward Scissorhands

Dracula

Into The Night

Frequency

The Fly (the 1986 version)

Pirates of the Caribbean

Invasion of the Body Snatchers ( the 1978 version)

The Patriot

Lethal Weapon

Domestic Disturbance

Twelfth Night

Tristan and Isolde

Robin Hood (with Errol Flynn)

Points may increase based on the quality and amount of entries.

    Thanks for the wonderful turnout and I hope you all enjoyed yourselves as much as I enjoyed reading these all. Definenetly the best quality of entries I've had in a contest in some time. Thank you all for that and great job!

    1st - Human Faces: Other Races?
    2nd - Good Versus Evil
    3rd - Bilbo's Farewell Party

    And just a special recognition for "Pirated" and "Edward Scissorhands" which both stood out to me as fun and enjoyable and worth a little extra attention.

    For those of you who wrote Sweeney Todd poems, there is a Sweeney Todd contest running (not by me) that is open to prewrites, so I'm sure the host would love to get your entries if you have not already entered them. Here is the link: http://allpoetry.com/contest/2407387
