This New Twitter Trend Mashes Up Your Fave Movie Titles & It’s Absolutely Hilarious

Universal Pictures

Everyone loves a good bedtime story, especially one that's short and sweet. If your BAE asks you to tell then a story, and your mind goes blank, here's how to tell a story in movie titles, according to Twitter. If you don't consider yourself a good storyteller, or being put on the spots results in your sputtering out a string of um, meh, and ugh (this is me all day), consider using a combination of your favorite movie titles instead.

My movie title life story would be The Perks of Being a Wallflower is knowing What's Eating Gilbert Grape. Because, introverts learn a lot from watching people, but not in a creepy way. Want to try it? The hashtag #TellAStoryWithMovieTitles is trending on Twitter, and the stories are both creative and funny AF. It's kind of like Twitter Mad Libs with movies. "It was a Nightmare on Elm Street when Carrie took her Face/Off," Shelly Splainin’ tweeted, effectively doubling the horror of these two horror movies.

You can actually play this game by topic too. Bored Panda posted a story asking people to describe their sex lives using movie titles because sometimes movie titles can say what you can't. Results ranged from Home Alone to Fast and Furious to 127 Hours, proving that sometimes you're a soloist, sometimes you engage in quickies, and sometimes you enjoy week-long stints in bed with your BAE. If you need some inspiration for how to tell a story using only movie titles, these 18 #TellAStoryWithMovieTitles tweets have your back.
