Smile Cheapskate Films

Today on the Ken Bruce Show on BBC Radio 2,he had a running theme of setting up a film company called "Cheapskate Films" and one of the first films he will make is Breakfast At Ratners.
Then listeners came in with other suggestions:
SLEEPLESS IN SETTLE
9.30 TO 12.00 (a skit on his schedule,based on the Dolly Parton film)
THE MEDIOCRE ESCAPE
BRASSFINGER
PASTE IS FOREVER
etc
(I was driving at the time,so I couldn't remember all of them)
Can anyone else think of variations on other films for Cheapskate Films?

(Can't take the credit for that one, though. I heard it somewhere else!)
