What movie changes the plot if you add a random 'R' somewhere in the title?

Add an R anywhere into the title to change the plot!

This challenge was apparently started on Reddit so I looked at the first few of their submissions and thought it would put some of the cleverness at Forum Garden to good use!

This one is an example:

A Fish Called Rwanda - Movie takes a dark turn when John Cleese has to deal with genocide.

When I should have been doing other things this morning, I instead amused myself by coming up with these:

The Shrining - Stephen King horror classic about one man's initiation into the world of civic clubs.

Forrest Grump - Tom Hanks plays aging and cantankerous yet still naive Forrest.

Severn Samurai - Seven sword fighters leave Japan and settle into the pastoral English countryside.

It's a Wonderful Lifer - An introverted man sentenced to life imprisonment reflects on the advantages of being consigned to solitary.

The Good, the Bard and the Ugly - Chaos ensues when a modern day Shakespeare attempts to mix elements of a spaghetti western into his plays.

Give it a try!

I suppose Romero and Juliet might have a Mexican flavour and Barbel would have been a sequel to that odd film about salmon fishing. Pulp Friction isn't something I would refer to on an open board.

Around the World in 80 Drays--

Phileas Frogg makes a bet he can drive a cart to circumnavigate the globe in under 80 days. When water comes between Phileas and his goal, his horse, the second dray in the title, drowns, leaving Phileas to yoke himself to the first dray, the cart, and swim to shore, where he picks up another dray, the horse kind, to carry the cart dray forward. This goes on & on ad infinitum, until Phileas reaches his goal, London Pond, where his journey began, in 79 days. Moral: It ain't easy being green.
