Welcome to the first of many.
* indicates a different film of same name exists.
** remade and/or rebooted.
*** has to be awkward.
Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill exuded excellent chemistry in the big screen adaptation and sequel to long-running television series
21 Jump Street.

Spoofing anything from Star Trek to Top Gun, 2014 follow up
22 featured a variety of fake assignments.
Why is 39 Jump Street an electronic target game?
Considering after 43, we jump to 2121, I hope 2078 missing adventures are also accounted for.
(Ahem).
Men in Black crossover MIB 23 will apparently make them canon.

My favourite scene in Shane Meadows'
Dead Man's Shoes is when Richard (Paddy Considine) makes Sonny 'nervous'.
Check out this excerpt.
"I'd gather them goonies and get whatever you got comin' mate... 'cause I'm gonna fucking hit you all."
Brilliant.

| Taxi Driver |
 |
| Enter the Dragon |
In principle, 2008 Australian revenge thriller The Horseman (not to be confused with The Horsemen), ripped it off.
Knocked Up
 |
| Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind |
 |
| Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas |
**Poltergeist
 |
| Star Wars |
 |
| Alien |
In the rather great
Sisters, Maura and Kate's party goes amusingly mental.
Way before that.
 |
| Jaws |
 |
| Out of Africa |
 |
| E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial |
Greg Olliver's psychological horror debut
Devoured served up tension and atmosphere.
Down in the subway at midnight...
 |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 |
 |
| Friends with Benefits |
 |
| Horrible Bosses |
**The Hills Have Eyes and ***
The Evil Dead are joined at the hip.
 |
| Rather than Roger Kastel's painting, Wes Craven's 1977 cult classic includes a ripped promo poster of Jaws, inferring running time was immediately more terrifying. |
 |
| In response, Sam Raimi inserted a portion of said film, suggesting his video nasty was even scarier than Hills. |
The banter continued, as Nancy watches
The Evil Dead in
**A Nightmare on Elm Street.
 |
| A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master paid tribute to series creator with... |
*** Fede Alvarez's 2013 reimagining was simply called
Evil Dead.
It'd be rude not to show a few more.
 |
| Adjacent to iconic poster, My Name Is Bruce promotes so so 2005 hack and slash video game Evil Dead: Regeneration. |
 |
| No prizes for guessing which film is showing at Aero movie theatre in Donnie Darko. |
 |
| Matt (Lee Ingleby) works in a video rental store in 'Dire' (as in Danny) zomcom Doghouse. |
And.
 |
| Very hard to spot, but Jennifer's Body boasts a miniature. |
Glass is empty, but can be easily refilled.
