From film titles create a four-line stanza poem, rhymed or blank verse. Must use exact titles; don't change or add anything. That said, if after you post and decide you want to edit your poem by rearranging lines feel free.
A couple of examples:
All About Eve
Anything Goes;
A Face in the Crowd,
Nobody Knows.
Mulholland Drive,
The Road to Perdition;
Two Rode Together,
A Lovely Way to Die.
EDITED TO ADD ADJUSTMENT: If you want to create a poem comprised of film titles that doesn't fit that four-line stanza, feel free. Or other variations. The poetry that comes out of film titles, however shaped, is what matters. Personally, I'm sticking to the stanzas, but I don't want anyone to feel they have to do that. No crimping of creativity here!

All from Frank Capra's films: You Can't Take It with You is the first thing that came to mind, and I found the other three and thought them appropriate. (I couldn't remember titles--brain wasn't working this morning.)
It happened one night;
you can't take it with you,
lady for a day--
forbidden.

Every Day's a HolidayStorm BoyA Nation Is BuiltJumping for JoyStorm Boy is a very good Australian family film of the 1970s. Its director, Henri Safran, had an interesting and varied career, starting off with live television plays of the early 1960s. A Nation is Built is a remarkably dated 1930s propaganda piece, also from Australia, but it contains some excellent footage.
