If you watch ______ backwards

If you watch Star Wars backwards it's about a decorated fighter pilot who builds a huge weapon that creates planets out of floating debris, and then he retires to become a whiny moisture farmer.

In reverse, King Kong is a film in which a giant ape leaps to the top of the Empire State Building and then, beginning with a series of bi-planes, methodically restores wreckage throughout Manhattan. Having completed this charitable work, he subsequently gathers theater goers together to watch as he allows himself to be bound up, ostensibly for safe transport to a tropical island where he retires to a life of peaceful solitude.

If you watch Toy Story 3 backwards, it's about a bunch of toys that leave the girl who loves them to break into prison, only so that they can fulfill their dream of living in peace and solitude, undisturbed in a creepy kid's toy chest.

Grabbing the low hanging fruit...

If you watch Memento backwards, it's a boring movie not worth writing about.

Winner!

If you watch Raiders of the Lost Ark backwards, it's about an archaeologist who, with the assistance of the Nazis, captures all the avenging angels of the Hebrew God and safely locks them away in a golden Ark. They then bury the Ark in a far off land, well protected by a pit of snakes. Finally, they hide the only key to finding the Ark deep in the Himalayas. Humanity is saved.

The archaeologist is rewarded with a cush job as a professor, but he soon gives this up when he finds out that the museum associated with his university is holding an illegally acquired golden idol. He once again teams up with his French archaeologist buddy, and they work together to return the idol to its South American home. The natives rejoice and reward them by sucking poison thorns out of their friend, who is revived.

I will quit now. This is too fun.

The Shining backwards:

A hotel owner, frozen in ice for decades after losing himself in his own garden labyrinth, thaws and returns to life. First, in a state of fear and confusion, he terrorizes the child who awoke him and his mother who are both staying in his hotel. He struggles to readjust to society, to regain his writing and interpersonal skills, and to overcome his haunting dreams and memories from the past. Over the course of the movie he gradually overcomes his demons to discover a new sense of stability, he and the mother gradually fall in love, and at long last he is able to leave the hotel forever to begin a new life with his loving new family.

If you watch a porn backwards, it's about this white stuff that jumps into a guy's dick, and then the guy gets dressed and goes to sell pizza.

If you watch Iron Man backwards, you'll see a super hero who saves another iron-clad guy from a generator and decides that he'd rather go partying and selling weapons than saving the world after he figures out in the middle of a desert, he can disassemble his suit and turn it into a missile.

I can't wait until this thread is finished, so I can read it backwards.

If you watch Inside Man backwards it's about a man who lives in a bank and records his life as a video diary. One day he leaves for work and while he is out people in white suits come and rob his bank/house. Then he comes home from work and records more of his video diary.

If you watch Irreversible backwards it's about a couple going to a party with an old ex of the woman's. There the man gives people some drugs, flirts with some chicks and has a fight with the woman. She leaves the party alone and gets brutally raped. Upon learning that the man and the friend start searching for the rapist only to eventually kill the wrong guy in a club.

Hey, wait a minute...

If you watch Goodfellas backwards, it's about a man in the suburbs who is unjustly accused of crimes by the police who force him on the stand to accuse other gentlemen of similar crimes. The stress of this situation causes him to start taking drugs. Oddly enough, he becomes friends with the gentlemen he testified against, and they help him to kick the drugs and to start dressing nicely.

Don't forget the part where they save the life of a man who was buried alive.

I'm a little late, but if you watch A Christmas Carol backwards, it's about the most generous, cheerful man in the world being haunted by three ghosts the day after Christmas.  The first one tells him he'll die and be buried Christmas day and no one will care.  The second shows him how other people are happier on Christmas without him around.  And the third reminds him of just how much his life has sucked until this point.  Scarred by these three evil spirits, he becomes an evil shell of a man himself, consumed by greed and selfishness.
