“1. Tetris
Director: Michel Gondry
The pitch: In a world of defeatist, no-imagination-having square and L-shaped pieces, Géraud (played by Elijah Wood in a cardboard suit, beret, and French mustache) is a Z-shaped romantic with dreams of becoming a painter, even though his awkward posture makes it really hard to set up an easel.

The soundtrack would consist solely of Jon Brion playing “Kalinka” (the Tetris song) on a vibraphone, getting gradually faster over 90 minutes.” — tommyk
