For example:

"Skinhead goes to prison"

would be American History X

1. Man erases memory of his ex.
2. Asian kid becomes friends with old white man.
3. Kid wishes to be an adult. Wish granted.

More to come, feel free to post your own.

1) Jogger gets hit by car
2) Not his time to die
3) Becomes billionaire
4) Wife sees mouse
5) Tuna and environmentalist
6) Superbowl

What movie is it? (It's one of my favorites)
 
My favorite movie:
1) Little girl in red coat walking in black and white background
 
Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first person she meets and then teams up with three strangers to kill again.

(sadly, not original)

Well, look at that!

Ahah! Great minds think alike?

Edit: and it was an amazing movie. I love Schindler's List. Heavy, but good.

No, I'm afraid Austin Powers is incorrect.

Castaway
 
Young adult has an oidipal complex and wages war against his very father (who seems to be assisted by a device that helps him breath). He also seems to fall in love with his sister (a princess). The movie also stars a moaning large bear, a golden robot and a dustbin.

A group of scientists are transported to a small island where they have to check out the safety of a new themepark

A young adult receives a piece of jewelry from his uncle and is chased by dark-clothed bullies and a large eye.

A man is approached by dealers and decides to take a certain drug. He becomes convinces that he's living in a computer-simulated world and decides to have a killing spree against FBI agents.
 
Huge asteroid is heading for earth! A couple of oil drillers decide to be astronaut. Aerosmith writes song to honor the occasion.

Mathematician goes crazy and thinks the FBI is chasing him (OK, this described every mathematician alive, but only one movie)

A young janitor in college solves a pretty easy math problem (it really is easy...), the professor notices it and decides that he is a genious.

Serial killer commits deadly sins.

Young schizophrenic boy thinks he can see dead people. He convinces he psychiatrist in the end that he is dead.

Soldier decides to infilatrate the enemy lines by dressing up like a large smurf. He ends up betraying his own kind and killing his fellow soldiers.

Wow, this really is poorly described. It's impossible for anyone to figure out which movie you're talking about because you inserted the wrong type of ball. It was a volleyball.
 
Find the common theme:

Girl leaves her employer and decides to get married. Employer is not amused and starts killing everybody. Girl takes revenge.

A couple of soldiers are dropped in enemy territory and start commiting war crimes by torturing and mutilating unarmed enemy soldiers. Also features a girl that burns down her cinema complex and kills an entire host of top politicians that way.

Hitman likes to kill people after citing bible verses.

A gang of criminals with colourful names rob bank and end up killing each other.
 
Again some movies with a common theme:

Army leader takes it up against the english king. Gets captured. Torture scenes.

Jewish boy thinks he's the son of God. Torture scenes.

End of the Mayans. Torture scenes.

No. The characters in these two movies literally suffer from mental disabilities.

Quentin Tarantino is awesome. Pulp Fiction is in my top 10 movies of all time.
