You may have, or maybe you haven’t, seen a fun hashtag that had a sudden reemergence on Twitter on Friday night, #reversefilmplot. The rules are:
1. Think of a movie
2. Reverse the plot
3. Hashtag and tweet
4. Laugh along
It’s time for some #Friday fun! Tweet us your best #ReverseFilmPlots and we’ll RT our favourites.

Originally tweeted by @blinkbox a couple of years ago, Friday nights hashtag party yielded some really clever and funny results. I had a crack at it myself and it was not an easy task. Just thinking of a movie that wasn’t already in the feed was proving difficult. It wasn’t even as though there were many films covered, I was just struck with a frustrating blank, similar to when you are trying to think of a word and someone tries to ‘help’ you by offering alternates and then that is all you can think of. I finally got there with the three below.
