Take a famous book or movie title. Swap out one letter for another, or add one letter, or remove one letter, to make a title with a quite different meaning. EG:

King Solomon's Mints
She Stomps to Conquer

Just one letter. Please only up to three titles per post (huge lists are just a pain and make it less fun for everybody).
