    if you watch One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest backwards its about a helpful Indian who repairs a broken window, replaces a missing water fountain, and then gets more and more pensive as he waits for his catatonic friend to come out of his coma, get his medications balanced and finally begin acting like a normal person.

    If you watch Good Will Hunting backwards, it is about a guy with a lot of potential that threw his life away. Of course, if you watch it forward it is the same.

    If you watch Star Wars ep 4 backwards it's about a kid who gets bored of space adventures and goes to live a simple life on a farm.

    Watch any James Bond movie backwards, and it's about a man who helpfully puts things back together, removes bullets from people, and renounces women for a life of celibacy.

    If you watch The Dark Knight backwards it's about a guy dressed like a bat that frees a clown from hanging upside down, and the clown goes on to make a large deposit in a bank.

    And let's not forgot the all importance of him actually returning all of his Gadgets in full working order to Q in the end.

    I thought it was about a horribly scarred mental patient who threatens a man and his family before reforming, undergoing massive facial reconstructive surgery and becoming Gotham City DA.

    Star Trek: Nemesis is about an android who, after walking away from a horrific spaceship crash unscathed, decides family is what's most important as he tries to help out his retarded brother. But the bald guy who also survived the crash stumbles in the exact opposite direction as he grows apart from his son.

    Taken is about a man who leaves his daughter in Paris and goes home before she does. Not very good parenting but there you have it.

    If you watch Jaws backwards it's about a shark who terroizes a town after it sends a crazed mariner after it.

    And the shark, mariner and his boat all come back to life... somehow.

    If you watch Rocky backwards it's about a superstar boxer who fights for the World Heavyweight Championship only to lose his girlfriend and end up living in a Philadelphia slum.

    If you watch Heroes backwards it's about two guys named Peter and Hiro who gain superpowers and become progressively more intelligent.

    If you watch The Search for Spock backwards Kirk pulls Spock's katra out of him and puts it in McCoy and then dumps his body on Genesis.

    If you watch The Terminator backwards it's about a friendly robot who is built in a factory, heals a load of women named Sarah Connor and police officers, gives a punk his clothes and then goes forward in time.

    Aliens backwards is a tale of a woman who uses a robot forklift to rescue a strange creature from the vacuum of space. After the creature coaxes a little girl out of the ventilation system and repairs her android, she flies it to a planet and finds it a nice warm home, pulls some soldiers out of goop, then goes home - where her forklift skills see her promoted to flight officer. Yay!
