[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 443048, member: 57984"] Sometimes, when I have too much time on my hands, I'll pick out two similarly-themed movies and do a mash-up of them in my head. I want Joan Crawford and some of her scenes from BERSERK smushed into CIRCUS OF HORRORS, Crawford taking the role of Anton Diffring's neglected wife in the latter, Crawford rising to queen of the big-top while her philandering husband spends his time surgically-altering his employees. I'd keep the homicidal daughter, too, the murders the shared endeavor of her and her dizzy dad, a plot never agreed to by the pair yet just happened organically.. This cinematic conjoining would take essentially zero alteration of either film... Even the final scene is the same, only I'd have the car crash and the lightning strike occur seconds apart. CIRCUS is the better film, so it dominates the edit. Same with BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S and BUTTERFIELD 8 -- I'd keep "Moon River" and the opening credits from BAT (only it would be Taylor in Mrs. Liggett's fur coat with that dawn pretzel, gazing into the sidewalk display cases) but that's about it; BUTTERFIELD 8 would proceed exactly as it does, although the BAT title would survive. (Perhaps "BUTTERFIELD 8" could be the sequel no one remembers, with Joan Collins playing Gloria's innocent, strangely less-appealing sister -- probably a movie for TV in the '70s that, for some reason, Collins always wanted to make but nobody even recalls, but she'd talk about it in interviews for years).
