Daily Dialogue themes: Your suggestions wanted!

We need a new batch of Daily Dialogue themes. Here are a few suggested last week:

The Job Interview
Pillow Talk
Inspirational Speech

[All three by blueneumann]

Nemesis
Mentor
Attractor
Trickster

[Suggested by Alejandro]

What suggestions do you have?

Remember the following:

* The theme has to be able to sustain at least 7 examples from notable movies.

* The more entertaining the theme, the better.

* The theme has to have some value as far as writing is concerned.

Per the latter, consider these type of moments in a script: A character reveals she is pregnant. A doctor tells a patient he has cancer. A wedding toast. These are just a few examples of movie scenes which we may end up having to write at some point with a story. How to do that in a fresh and entertaining way? By exploring seven different movie takes during the course of a week on a single theme, hopefully this will provide readers a variety of takes to inspire their own thinking.

So please head to comments and post your potential suggestions for the Daily Dialogue theme for the week. What do you receive? My gratitude and your name in 7 consecutive Daily Dialogue posts.

Thanks in advance!
