The Movie Game

The challenge is to come up with ten movies that start with the same letter.



The catch is that I assign you a letter, just like Stanggirl assigned mine. If you want one, say so in the comments.



I got "M."



So, we'll start with two from Fritz Lang:



M.



And Fritz' best-known film,



Metropolis.



Since Metropolis was sci-fi, there's:



Mission To Mars.



That movie was pretty action-y, though, so that leads me to:



Metro,



and since that was also sorta a mystery, we find:



Mindhunters,



which, since it's a thriller, leads us to:



The Manhattan Project,



which since it was only notionally thrilling and mostly comedy, leads to:



Miami Vice,



oh, wait, that was serious? Really? Well, in any event, it leads us to:



Monster House,



And from there to an Ally Sheedy classic,



Maid To Order,



and last but not least to Samuel L. Jackson:



Menace II Society.



All things eventually come back to Sam, at least in the movies.



As an additional challenge, I'd hope that anyone who gets a letter from me would at least TRY to get one of his many, many movies in their list.
