The Silver Screen Oasis

The idea of this game is for one board member to post a short sentence that reveals the ending or other important plot development from a movie.
Based on the "spoiler," another board member will name the movie.
Ideally, there should be only one movie that would be the correct answer based on the spoiler provided so the game can flow quickly.
The poster who identifies the correct answer will post the next spoiler.


As an example:

Rosebud is a sled

The answer would be . . . CITIZEN KANE.



So here is the first spoiler to start the game. Admittedly this is an easy one.


Bruce Willis is a ghost.

The Sixth Sense


next: the protagonist is shot while reaching for a butterfly.

All Quiet on the Western Front

Next: A king falls from The Empire State Building.

KING KONG

Next: The victimized sister crippled herself.

Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?

Next: a Belgian hooker kills a man after three hours of tedious chores

JEANNE DIELMAN, 23, QUAI DU COMMERCE, 1080 BRUXELLES
(The greatest film of all-time according to 2022 Sight and Sound critics' poll)


Next:

It was all a dream! (induced by a head injury the girl suffered during the storm) . . . or was it?

The Wizard of Oz


next: the guy was dressing up as his mother

Psycho

Next: the guy was dressing up as a “great big fat lady.”

Big Momma's House, or Total Recall (1990)


next: After some minor mutilation, it turns out the hero is the bad guy's son

The Empire Strikes Back

Next: the Scots islanders drank all the whiskey and it got too rare for them to afford

That one must have been too hard. It was Whiskey Galore (mocking the tacked on Hayes Code compliant ending. If you have seen the film you know what I am talking about). I will try an easier one

Spoiler: An American journalist dies in Moscow

REDS?

Yes, correct. Your turn.

Hoganman1, Lost Horizons has indicated that you have correctly identified his spoiler.
Do you have a spoiler of your own?
If you pass, I have one that I could post to keep the challenge going.

PS. I wanted to say I loved the spoilers that LawrenceA posted for PSYCHO and THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. Those were two movies that I had planned to "spoil," but the spoilers that LawrenceA created for them were brilliant!

The main character dies falling out of a chair.
