21 Movies That Are So Much Better Played Backwards

If you watch Alien backwards, a large monster gets tiny and climbs inside a guy's chest, calming down a panicking crew.

The internet's a wonderful thing; if you want to spend an entire afternoon looking up ways to better yourself, learning a new instrument, cooking a fancy new recipe or looking up the background of a particularly weighty topic, it's all open to you - just a click away. Then again if you want to watch thousands of videos of cats with bits of toast on their heads, that's cool too. Now that we've got so much information open to being enjoyably dissected over and over again, it was only a matter of time until internet culture took a look at some very prominent films, and turned them on their heads. Well thanks to the chaps over on Reddit we've compiled so of the most hilarious examples of what happens when you reverse some movie plots, as well as throwing in a few of our own for good measure.

21. If You Watch Madagascar Backwards...

It's about a group of animals who get fed up with dancing lemurs, they lock themselves in boxes and ship off to the zoo.

20. If You Watch The Exorcist Backwards...

It's about a girl who's very sick until she eats some pea soup and finally gets better.

19. If You Watch Guardians Of The Galaxy Backwards...

It's about a group of vigilantes who gradually grow distant until one of them starts a dancing career.
