In this spread, an artist has removed one letter from a famous movie title and drawn a picture of what that might look like.
While we can't necessarily draw pictures, we can remove one letter (or number) from a movie title, and describe the results.
(something like this has been done before but it may have been long enough ago that people will enjoy doing it again?)
I'll start us out.

Casabanca
Black and white film about a famous European banking house, set during WW2, which runs a behind-the-scenes operation in forged currency for the various Resistance movements. Notable for the scene where one character is insistent he hasn't received his forged currency, resolved by the owner walking over and saying, "Pay it again, Sam."
