Do you love the word OPOSSUM as much as The Gorko’s top film critic and top man, Mitchell Kennedy, M.F.A.? OPOSSIBLE! But never fear, today you can read all about Mitch’s favorite flicks with OPOSSUM in the title.
And this is just the tip of the possberg.

3. THE GODPOSSUM
When Don Vito Opossum, the patriarch of the CURLeone family, is shot and incapacitated, his peaceloving civilian son Michael Opossum is forced to step up and defend the family in the middle of the biggest gang war of the century.

2. 12 ANGRY OPOSSUMS
One of the classic opossum courtroom dramas, this movie focuses on the single juror who holds out against the other angry 11 opossum who vote guilty in the trial of a teenage possum accused of murdering his 3-year-old father.

1. THE LORD OF THE OPOSSUMS
When the great wizard Gandolf entrusts the Ring of Power to Opossum Baggins, it is only the beginning of a grand epic journey that will tear the humble, hairy-footed marsupial and his dear friends Merry, Pippin, and of course happy-go-lucky Opossam, from their comfy home in Possumton in Opossum Shire, and send them trotting through adventures their walnut-sized noggins had never imagined. Join them as they creep through Rivendell, Lothlorien, and into the land of Mordor, where eventually Opossum Baggins just curls up and plays dead at the precipice of Mount Doom, and the whole thing kind of resolves itself.
