To Dream the Impossible Dream of a Red Chamber (Movie Mash-Up Contest Winner!)
At last! After much deliberating, the Rally Monkey has decided on the winner of the Movie Mash-Up Contest!
Now here's the thing. There were some really, really funny entries... like, hundreds of them. We peed ourselves laughing. This meant we were unable to easily narrow down the list. Also, alas, I put the Rally Monkey in charge of judging, which means that I didn't get to pressure him into selecting some I thought were *really* funny.
Thank you everyone for the awesome submissions!
And without further ado, our finalists, alphabetical by title:
Bridge over the River Kwai, the Beloved Country (dylan)
Bridget Jones' Diary of a Mad Black Woman (Jessica)
The Forty-Year-Old Virgin Suicides (Cindy)
Fun with Dick and Jane Eyre (dylan)
The Grapes of Wrath of Khan (annerallen)
He's Just Not That Into You, Me, and Dupree (Dawn VanderMeer)
The King and I, Robot (The Imperfect)
Twelve Angry Men in Tights (holyspigot)
Wonder Boyz in the Hood (Cat)
You Got Served My Dinner with Andre (Penelope Wright)
In third place:
The Full Monty Python and the Holy Grail (Cindy)
In second place:
Gorillas in the Mystic Pizza (H.L. Dyer)
and finally, in first place, our grand prize winner of a pan of brownies:
Man of La Manchurian Candidate (B. Nagel)

Well done, contestants. Well done.
AHAHAHAHH! These were all very funny!
Congrats!
:-)
haha - each one was funnier than the last!
Ha-ha-ha! So funny, great way to start out Hump Day.
I missed this contest. Pooey.
Congrats to all. Loved that grand prize winner. Peace, Linda
This was wonderful. Make it annual?
It is sad--I found your blog a day after the polls closed.
Lol, what a fun game! Congrats to B. Nagel--great name!
Very inventive.
Yeah, B! Holy cow! First place!
Whoa. That's some pretty stiff competition. Thanks RM. (The check is in the mail. wink)
I love picturing the Twelve Angry Men in Tights.
B--email me and let me know if you want the brownies or you prefer a book, and also where to send them!
This contest was so much fun - mostly in reading all the great entries. I don't envy the Rally Monkey and his tough judging job.
Congrats to all!
If I had known food was involved, I would have been all over this.
Bridge over the River Kwai, the Beloved Country was definitely my favorite. Awesome!
Congratulations to B. Nagel
If it had been up to me to award prizes based on hilarity, you'd have had to open a bakery.
Rally Monkey also deserves brownie points for conceiving and judging this fun contest.

Hee! Thanks for the fun! ;)
These are awesome -- I want more!
The Bridge over River Kwai started me laughing, and I was hurting myself by the time I got to the 1st prize winner.
That was great fun! Thank you!
Congrats to the winners! I second (or third at this point maybe) the notion of having this be an annual thing! It was a great way to kick off the week.
Nice. :) My favorite was Twelve Angry Men in Tights.
Hooray! I'm so thrilled to have been a finalist. My coworkers kept wondering why I was doubled over in tears at my desk all day.
It's a good thing they like me, I did like, zero work that day.
Well done to everyone =)
They were so funny, thank you for the huge laughs. (I put my coffee down first before reading. See - I am learning!)
Ha!!!! The Grapes of Wrath of Khan?? Priceless!
Woohoo, thanks to you guys for picking one of mine as a finalist, and congrats to the winners! I'm going to be referring back to that entry and giggling over it for weeks.
Ooooh, I made finalist! I'm definitely jazzed. Thanks Moonrat. Christy P, too. I don't know how you decided. My faves were the brownie-winner (had me laughing till I cried) and 12 Angry Men in Tights. This was one of the most fun contests ever.
I know it's a bit late, but I just found a great one:
Where the Girls Gone Wild Things Are
Moonrat-
I just saw this Photoshop challenge on Fark and thought you and Rally Monkey might get a kick out of it. Same theme as your movie mash-up:
