Audiences today won't stand for the boring, talky movies of old -- they demand cool special effects. George Lucas understood this when he added new effects to "Star Wars". But why stop there? Why not improve other films the same way?

In this contest, we're asking you to add science fiction elements to a scene from a decidedly non-sci-fi film. Arm the Goodfellas with phasers. Make the cast of "Steel Magnolias" real steel robots. Show us a scene from "Kramer vs. Predator", or "Room with a View of Godzilla".

Since "Star Wars" is such a staple of sci-fi films, the Star Wars cliche will be lifted for this contest. But don't just add lightsabers to a scene, or you risk diqualification for a lazy entry.

As always, have fun, be creative! Follow the guidelines please, and be careful to avoid using any other cliches. You will have 48 hours to submit so make your entry count!
