The object:

The blurbs below combine the titles of two or more well-known movies. Can you guess the new mash-up movie title?

Example:

Michael J. Fox stars as a time-traveling teenager in this second installment of George Lucas' original space opera trilogy.
Answer: The Empire Strikes Back to the Future

NOTE:
At least one of the movies in each blurb is a famous cinematic love story. Remember that films can be mashed up phonetically as well, e.g. "Nosferatu Kill a Mockingbird"

Go to it, have fun, and post your answers below. Smug as you may rightly feel if you know them all, please post one answer per comment, just to make sure the most skilled among you doesn't grab all the glory. Feel free to elaborate in the comments, also, about details of the resulting mashed-up movie. How would it end? What would be the crucial plot points?

Official mashup answers will be posted shortly, so check back.

1. You can see the tragedy coming a mile away when Gary Oldman falls for Emma Roberts' plucky teen sleuth.
2. Kevin Spacey won the Oscar for this role, in which his middle-aged suburban Dad scandalously pursues the animated but provincial Belle.
3. Director Spike Lee vents his rage over Katrina with a story of gay cowboys, for some reason.
4. Roger Moore's 007 meets his match when he tries to seduce the beguiling Lucy Honeychurch.
5. Ethel Merman, Bing Crosby, John Cusack and Ione Skye form a bizarre love rectangle in this 1936 classic.
