Cocoon
Black comedy in which a group of surprisingly spritely pensioners slowly lose their energy after mysterious hairy eggs suddenly appear in their swimming pool. Gradually, as debilitating arthritis and senility set in, a group of aliens suddenly remove the eggs and bugger off, leaving our protagonists in a sorry state.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
A silent, dignified, tall Indian delivers a water cooler to a mental asylum via a window, before rescuing a lobotomised man in the midst of being suffocated to death by a pillow. The rescued man, Randle McMurphy, while repairing his relationship with Nurse Ratched, then annoys his fellow inmates so much that they all retreat back into their shells, before Randle waltzes out, leaving them none the wiser. The Indian never speaks again.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
A complete freak ages normally, while all around him age backwards.
Moses
Lavishly produced, and with a cast of thousands, this famous story receives a new twist as Moses returns the troublesome Israelites back to the Egyptians. Along the way, he takes tablets of stone and places them on a mountain-top, extinguishes a burning bush and rescues thousands of Egyptians from the clutches of the Red Sea, before finally curing Egypt of a variety of diseases and restoring all of their first-borns to life. Sails off in a basket for a fitting and emotional finale.
A true Egyptian hero. Not very popular in Israel though.
