This simple dinner-party word game requires you to name films which have a vague affiliation to pooh, rather than films which actually are pooh. Points are awarded for original titles (Jackie Brown, Cable Guy) and variations thereof (hence ‘Gangster Number Two’).

The Eagle Has Landed?

Wait, is that actually a film?

It is – but i’m not familiar with the eagle euphimism. I like it though – ‘excuse me for one moment, I really must lay an eagle.’
As it happens, Michael Caine was in that too, as well as other scattological classics, ‘Around the U-Bend’ and ‘Beyond the Pooseidon Adventure’

I was quite confident that ‘the eagle has landed’ could be employed as a euphemism for just about anything.
What about U-Bend 571?

Forrest Gump. Perhaps rhyming slang. Fits into either poo-mentioning or poo-being films.

Bib – Forrest Dump is within the rules
The rest of you all get loads of points, especially Tim, who’s introduced a whole new dimension to the game with Dysenterry Thomas.
For some reason, all this talk reminds me that Kinky Friedman (and other amusing Americans, presumably) describe taking a crap as having a Nixon, which is my favourite euphisism EVER. (After eagle, obviously.)
