Guess the movie!!

ITT: We describe a movie very poorly and vaguely, others try to guess what the movie is. I'll start with something easy: some crippled dude uses advanced technology to pilot an alien body and eventually assimilates into the alien culture.

    AVATAR!

    I'll go next... some ex-criminal taxi driver in the year 3000 gets stuck having to save the planet from an asteroid strike while on a destination vacation with the help of a priest, an attractive alien woman who he teaches English to, and a radio announcer.

    Ok well I cheated. I have never seen this movie, so I had to look it up. The Fifth Element!
    (Hey, nobody else was playing ...)

    Next: two homosexual lovers run a night club and try to impress the parents of their son's fiancee.

    Falling down

    An average seeming american teenage boy's bedroom gets hit by a gigantic airplane engine - the boy seems to go nuts as events spiral and he firmly believes the world will end in 28 days. There is also a gigantic rabbit involved.
    :)

    BTW Falling down is a great movie and I love Michael Douglas!

    @sofielein Donnie Darko! (Fun stuff!)

    A guy searches for the killer of his wife, but his memory is damaged and his long term memory is intact only up until just before her death. His short term memory only last for a few minutes. He has to rely on notes and other clues to help him track down the killer. Who can he trust? Has he already killed his wife's murderer? Is he being manipulated and used as a hit man? Oh yeah, the whole movie is sequenced in reverse, with the last scene first and ending with the first scene.

    Sounds crazy, but it works! If you haven't seen it, you should!

    Two mentally challenged people meet and fall in love. The woman looks confused and dirty. The boys has fangs. They have a child and name her the worst and most appalling name in history. It takes 5 movies to tell this story.
