If you're familiar with Contextualize/Whamise This Line, then you may know how this will work. However, instead of a line, you must write a plot/synopsis based off a title from a work in a "Poster above you" format. For example...
Troper A: Soul Surfer
Troper B: Soul Surfer is a cyberpunk action film about a man who has the unique ability to go into the bodies of other people, and must do this to clear his name for a crime he hasn't committed.
Something like that. I'm just hoping I'm being concise enough. Alright, let's begin.

Heresiarch Command
A weird sci-fi horror-thriller about one of the guinea pigs in an experiment to create a hive-mind entity amongst humans. One of the side effects was the test subjects being able to survive and still have a degree of individual sentience even after their craniums were removed.

Only Death Is Real
Wimpy Mc Squishy

Locked In
'Cross my heart, strike me dead, stick a lobster on my head.'
The Harbinger of Strange
A psychological piece about a man who is both locked in
and locked in, as in locked in a room. He is forced to contend with a double whammy of terror—not only is he completely paralyzed, he has no idea how he came to be in his current situation. He simply woke up in a sterile, featureless, pitch-dark room, totally immobile. The only thing tethering him to reality is the sensation of some bench or table pressed against his back. As the days tick by, he realizes there must be something feeding him intravenously to keep him alive. All the man can do to entertain himself is run endless circles in his mind about who has captured him and why, but the answers never come. The narrative becomes progressively less cohesive and sensible as the man's mind breaks down and his grip on reality loosens. Finally, he dies, and the perspective of the narrative shifts to some bizarre alien creature in a control/observational room just out of sight behind a wall. The omniscient narrator muses about the fact that the man's tormentor, and the answers to his dilemma, were literally not more than three feet from him the entire time.

"And every life is a special story of its own." —The Stargazer, Mass Effect 3
i seee youuuu
The police try to track down a notorious serial killer known only as "Four". He leaves no signs of entry or exit, leaves no evidence, and cleans up after he's done, leaving a clean house with a cleaner corpse. If it were not four the position in which he laid the corpses- into, of course, a 4- there would be no evidence he did it. The only connection between the first victims is that they all were born and, consequently, died four days apart from each other. But then, members of the police department start getting bumped off, one by one…

He eventually spots her leaving the flowers; after a brief debate with himself he tells her that he knows that it's her, and after a brief and somewhat awkward conversation they start a romantic relationship. The epilogue jumps forwards two years to their wedding day.

The Harbinger of Strange
1812. There is a region of the ocean that is constantly rocked by violent storms and hurricanes, called the Tempest. The Tempest has been going on for hundreds or even thousands of years and has defied all attempts to measure or explain it. It has been a fixture in mariner's lore for as long as any sea-dog worth his salt can remember and the object of countless tales of fantasy. Some claim that at the centre of the Tempest is an island where untold fortunes can be found. Others say it's the nest of a monster, or the tantrum of an angry sea god. There have been many attempts to sail through the Tempest over the years, all of them failures, leaving few to no survivors. But there's one sailor who's determined to succeed where others have failed...
