Short people team up with tall people to beat the bad guys.
A bunch of guys steal stuff. Cleverly.
People whose lives suck rally through singing together.
Man loses sense of proportion, falls in love.
Good robots become cars, bad robots become jets, fight over a spark.
Lovers from opposite sides of the tracks meet and part while a ship sinks.
PEOPLE, DREAMS, PHILOSOPHY 101, CONFUSION ENSUES
Dudes in suits kill aliens.
General's family is killed and he's forced to fight in tournaments.
Punitive psychotherapy works on future teenagers, but people object and nobody's really changed.
A baby barely survives a car crash which kills his parents and hallucinates about a magical universe for the rest of his life.
...
You know, most of these remind me of the short descriptions my digital cable service (Comcast) gives for movies in the guide channel.

NPR has played that high-concept snippet about "Once"- something like "Two kindred spirits make music and find romance on the bustling streets of Dublin"- so many times that I think, even though I might actually like the movie, that I'm no longer physically capable of seeing it. "Kindred spirits" "bustling streets"? How freaking twee can you get?!

Those aren't even fair. All you have to do nowadays is just MENTION Tom Cruise to turn people off.
