"Four ever European"

For this challenge, the theme is puns on film titles. I have chosen this theme as it is a different category to last time (i.e. not based on word form) and because there is a wide spectrum of relevance between the film being reviewed and the film being punned.

People are welcome to post their existing reviews, but particularly encouraged to submit new ones. They are also encouraged to post only those they consider their best, not just all the ones they have. People can submit anything that they consider to be a pun on a film title: a concensus of approval is not required.

All challenges will be completely open-ended, due to the (admittedly decreasing) delay in approvals and the fact that inspiration does not come at will. Good luck!

Good one, Sal.

What the theme says:

*Story of Joan of Arc
*Armour of God

What the theme says but using the movie title as it is:
*November

What the theme says but self-inflicting the movie title:
*Norma Rae

A new one I overlooked:
*Ella enchanted

And a high scoring review I almost forgot:
*The Buddy Holly Story

Braveheart - My most popular review.

Dracula's Dog - My second most popular review.

The Island of Dr. Moreau - A pun on a film title, and, obviously, its source novel.

Sex Trek: The Next Penetration - Relatively crude.

Rectuma - Pretty silly.

These are my five best puns on film titles.

One of my more popular reviews:
The Hunt For Red October

Which actually reminded me about this one:
Still We Believe: The Boston Red Sox Movie

This is actually a pun on a TV title, it seems close enough to me but if anybody objects I'll be happy to remove it:
Star Trek: The Next Penetration

Blades of Glory

Being Ron Jeremy

Kill Bill: Volume 1
