Don't know if there's an "official" name for this game, but it's one I discovered via the podcast "On the Tropes". At the end of their episodes they play various games and I particularly liked this one.
The premise is that we take a movie title, remove one letter from that title, and then describe the movie based on how the title's meaning changes. A couple of examples from the show:
Brad Pitt & Edward Norton have to do battle against a baby bear = Fight Cub
A shark terrorizes a beach and it is adorable = Aws
Now for a couple for everyone to guess:
1. Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford must rescue Carrie Fisher from fossils in La Brea, CA.
2. Charlton Heston is an astronaut finds himself stuck on a planet where humans are primitive and everything is ruled by mobile phone games.
3. Sam Taylor-Johnson is the Lord of the Underworld looking for romance in this adaptation of a Twilight fanfic-turned-erotic novel.
I found this a bit trickier to come up with that I expected. For the sake of expanding options we can do this with TV shows and video games if you come up with something for them.

A little tricky, but this could be interesting. 1. I was thinking Sex in the City, but that probably isn't it, so I got nothin' 2. No idea 3. Hades of Grey
1. Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort battle cancer as a road construction crew runs into trouble when their product becomes hazardous. 2. Kelly Macdonald attends an out-of-control party in an effort to fit in with other teens. 3. Matthew Broderick becomes a world-renown chemist after witnessing the horrific death of his father in Africa. Meanwhile, his father's killer lurks in the shadows.

Number 3 is Fifty Hades of Grey but otherwise you have it. I wanted to do Fifty Shades of Ray but couldn't think of a good description. For Ne-on's three 1. The Fault in Our Tars (hint: Whether I'm right or wrong here, my [HASH]1 uses the same pun) 2. Looked up Macdonald on IMDB but can't think of anything that fits from the titles there. 3: The Ion King?

First two are correct! Hint: my remaining movie is animated
So what's left is:
1. Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford must rescue Carrie Fisher from fossils in La Brea, CA.
2. Charlton Heston is an astronaut finds himself stuck on a planet where humans are primitive and everything is ruled by mobile phone games.
3. Kelly Macdonald attends an out-of-control party in an effort to fit in with other teens.

3. Kelly Macdonald attends an out-of-control party in an effort to fit in with other teens. With the hint I got it: Rave Hints for my 1 & 2: 1. What is La Brea known for? 2. Damn Dirty ____

I'm guessing 1. is Tar Wars, though that doesn't really make sense

Well, let me try some
1. The boring daily routine of a bus is depicted as it goes various places, sleeps and visits its neighbours 2. A couple of country people are conflicted whether to go on self-discovering journey or save their capital city 3. Several of young boys end up meeting a man who has a penchant for skewering the truth
