A MYSTERIOUS WOMAN SNIPER, RECENTLY discharged from the MILITARY and retired to MEXICO, BEFRIENDS the TEENAGE BROTHER of a VIOLENT DRUG lord and takes one LAST MISSION: to help the BOY ESCAPE his DANGEROUS SIBLING's clutches and see his TERMINALLY ILL MOTHER in AMERICA before she dies of CANCER. Based on a TRUE STORY.

Argh! Forgot to capitalize ONE.

A CHILD bride INVESTIGATES her BROTHER's TRAGIC DEATH. A MILITARY SNIPER ESCAPES MEXICO with his TERMINALLY-HIGH MOTHER. If you put the most common words together, you get a logline of perfect blandness: A YOUNG MAN FINDS the TRUE STORY of ONE WOMAN's LIFE.

When a TERMINALLY ill JOURNALIST DISCOVERS the DEATH of his CHILDhood hero MR ROGERS was a MURDER, it BECOMES his MISSION to bring the TRUTH to light and the killer to justice.

A TROUBLE[d] YOUNG WOMAN overcomes a TRAGIC PAST, a stint in PRISON, and a HISTORY of DRUG abuse to become a world-famous snowBOARDER after experiencing VISIONS of her MURDERED FATHER.

A terminally high mother! LOL, hysterical. It's like Road Trip with bullets, weed and Spanish.

After his MYSTERIOUS AGENT/FORMER WIFE is MURDERED by a VIOLENT FEMALE SNIPER in MEXICO, DRUG-addicted AMERICAN MOVIE WRITER EDWIN ROGERS uses NASA’S FIRST TIME travel machine to take a TRIP BACK in HISTORY so he can UNCOVER the TRUE, HIDDEN STORY BEHIND her TRAGIC DEATH -- and SAVE the LOVE of his LIFE. BASED on the NOVEL "DEVASTATING EVENTS" by Sapphire.

Damn, that's the whole pitch right there! I can't think of a title, though.

In a world where every stinking MOVIE is the STORY of a YOUNG MAN, one determined WOMAN SETS off a JOURNEY to find an AGENT and forge a CAREER as a screenWRITER, even though her skeptical FRIENDS think she should just get HIGH and write a NOVEL.

Priceless!! :-D

Haha, the based on the novel by Sapphire bit is amazing!

After her ESCAPE from PRISON, a convicted burglar plots a TRIP across the COUNTRY in disguise, but when her abandoned TEENAGE daughter DISCOVERS her and demands to COME along, her newfound freedom becomes ACCIDENTal MOTHER-daughter bonding on the RUN.

35 word cloud words - you've set the bar for the "Kitchen Sink" category.

I forgot to capitalize ONE again. Curses!

The TRUE STORY of MR. ROGER's LOVE affair with Steven Speilberg on the SET of Jaws, MAN.

Stoned and Bloodied

Haha, thanks! Would have just written "Push" but saw an opportunity for two more words...

Lol, thanks

A TERMINALLY ill BOY NAME DAVID EDWIN DISCOVERS FORMER DEATH FATHER TIME in a DEVASTATING CAR ACCIDENT.

Congrats to everyone who made the 2013 Black List! Had a friend make the list this year, so it's especially exciting! Loglines: A MAJOR DRUG dealer MUST clean up his act when his aging MOTHER comes to live with him. A FEMALE PRISON guard falls in LOVE with an imprisoned U.S. INTELLIGENCE AGENT and decides to HELP him ESCAPE to MEXICO. A SNIPER makes a deal with DEATH in order to SAVE the LIFE of his TERMINALLY ill son. A psychiatrist is HIRED to HELP a YOUNG boy LEARN to CONTROL his superhuman abilities after a TRAGIC ACCIDENT. A pacifist DISCOVERS he is the SON of DEATH and MUST LEARN the FAMILY business. After taking an experimental DRUG, TWO HIGH SCHOOL FRIENDS wake up in MEXICO with no memory of the PAST FOUR days.

Finally managed to log in via Facebook. Anyway, here are five loglines I managed to put together: An ILLEGAL immigrant from MEXICO is the only witness to a Russian AGENT'S theft of NASA INTELLIGENCE, and must convince the AMERICAN authorities before he is deported or MURDERED. An AMERICAN SNIPER dies while on a MISSION in Afghanistan, and wakes up to find he has been raised from the dead to join an elite TEAM of zombie AGENTS. The WIFE of a MURDERED DETECTIVE begins to have MYSTERIOUS VISIONS, and UNCOVERS an alien conspiracy as she INVESTIGATES her husband's DEATH. A YOUNG CHILD becomes the unwitting HOST to an alien lifeform, and her fractured FAMILY goes on the run to keep her out of the HANDS of NASA and the AMERICAN MILITARY. MR. DEATH takes a vacation from his reaping duties, and during his TRIP to MEXICO he MEETS a TERMINALLY ill NOVEL WRITER and MOTHER whose STORIES fascinate him. *** It was a pretty fun exercise, and quite enlightening to read the loglines of the screenplays on this year's Black List.

After a TEENAGED GIRL is MURDERED, she BEFRIENDS DEATH.

Just had a great thought to fine tune one of my loglines: A FORMER SNIPER makes a deal with DEATH in order to SAVE the LIFE of his TERMINALLY ill SON.

'A YOUNG BOY sees a MYSTERIOUS creature on the way home from SCHOOL, and when he INVESTIGATES, DISCOVERS a HIDDEN WORLD unlike anything he’s ever seen.' Rough, but I'm pretty happy with that, though I think Brian at #13 is a winner! But there's some good entries elsewhere too.
