Boredom Antidote (pat. pending)

Gah. Bored. Instigating a film trivia quiz.

Try and guess the name of the film from my description of the plot. Get it right and you can set the next one:

Two conmen escape from jail aided by a peer of the realm and some blow-up dolls. They attempt to spend 2 million pounds and go back to jail believing they have burnt it, but they are double-crossed by the peer, who spends it on a racehorse in a bid to save the family home.

You know the rules. No Googling etc... Go!

Ok, so a guy wakes up in a strange place and finds out that he might a serial killer but he can't remember. He survives several attempts on his life from mysterious men in black and eventually, using new found psychic powers, kills said bad guys and changes the world.

Is that 'Memento'? (Hard to remember what the hell happened in that...)

Nope. Let me know when you give up. I'll give you a clue- this film has the same director as another that has already been suggested.

Never Give Uuuuuuuup

The Film is Dark City, with Rufus Sewell and Richard O'Brien.

A delinquent, motorbike-riding teenager becomes the hero of the hour by ridding the world of his best friend, who has turned into an out of control, fucking huge telekinetic monster after being pumped full of drugs by the government.

Is everyone stuck, or does no-one care anymore? Would a clue be welcomed? :-)

Yes! Well done :-) I picked a bad weekend to go monster truck driving really, in the middle of this heated quiz and all :-)

Right. I guess I'm supposed to do one now, or has everyone given up and gone out in the sun?

Two guys find the woman of their dreams, despite wearing bra's on thier heads. Said woman ends up as a gym instructor after they leave her for two other girls.

It sounds suspiciously like 'Weird Science' although I think that might have ended differently...

It is Weird Science, the very last shot shows her in the School Gym about to give the boys PE.

*Oh Yeah*

So - My go...

A boy systematically poisons his friends (with mustard sandwiches) and mother and blinds his sister after an experiment to create a crystal goes wrong. He is committed, released, poisons his co-workers and goes to prison, where he uses a ring to [possibly] end his own life.
