I'll get the ball rolling:

Dead Man's Shoe (2004)

Sounds like a tearjerking tale of a recently-bereaved man returning the shoe of a road accident victim he found in a bush to the victim's late wife, through which they spark a deep friendship that goes beyond mere love. PG-13 5/10 Oscar-bait shite.

The Otter of the Medusa

First movie in the 'Medusa' trilogy. About an ancient order of sea otters called 'Medusa', that have saved the world from behind the scenes countless times over the centuries.

Based on a famous painting with the same name.
