Okay. I looked through the list a couple of times and didn't see this little gem with Jim from Taxi and Alex P. Keaton. So, let's all cram into the DeLorean and go
Back to the Future!
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088763/
Abbreviated rules borrowed from here to encourage some new entrants .... or old ones back. 
The Rules
The first line of a haiku poem has five syllables.
The second line has seven syllables.
The third, and final, line has five syllables.
The Movie Haiku Contest (MHC) is open to every member of the FWFR site.
To enter, all you have to do is think of a Haiku for the current movie, then post into the current thread. Simple as that. Also, haikus may be risque, but nothing explicit please.
Only one entry per person as per The Blevins Rule. However, you are allowed to edit your existing entry until 9pm Tuesday FWFR time. *
Voting.
If you have entered the MHC, then you have to vote. If you do not vote, you'll lose 3 points from your total, even if you are Sludge and its your birthday. This could mean the difference between the adoration and envy of your fellow Fwiffers or being the feckless butt of our jokes!
You do not have to enter an MHC to vote. Vote away. It'll be like a lurker vote!
---------------------------------
For each round, you get to vote for your three favourite haikus. The voting is as follows:
3 pts fwfr a
2 pts fwfr b
1 pt fwfr c
--------------------------------
You may vote only once
You cannot vote for yourself.
You can vote for the previous winner
You vote by sending me your votes in a PM (Private Message) to Me.
When the voting deadline ends (9pm Wednesday 13MAY FWFR time), the votes are tallied and the top three places are announced.
No fair going back in time and changing people's votes after they vote. Because that is just the kind of tricky thing you people would try to pull.
EM :)

Just wondering if anyone got this?
Explained invisibly:
In Kleins, almost Rex to be read as "inclines, almost wrecks" as the Delorean came nearly crashing into the town in a new time. It also means, when his then-his-own-age mother sees his Calvin Klein underwear, she wants him and thinks his name is Calvin. Getting with mom would have been like Oedipus Rex...
Didn't get the reference to Rex. Got the wrecks double, but not the Rex spelling.
Everything else about the haiku, I got.

Okay, the timing's all messed around. Am I telling you now or 25 years ago?
But, grab your skateboard and let's find out why Crispin Glover is such a complete goof ball.

In third place. He didn't really write a haiku about the movie. But he whipped quite a few of us anyway. Give him a round of applause and a Chuck Berry shuffle.
With 8 points, it's Whippersnapper (2,3,3)

And our winner. He's new to haiku. But, he's molded himself into quite a good haiku writer.
Winning the DeLorean and the angry mob of Libyans who want their Plutonium back.
With a whopping 12 points, it's Clay (3,1,3,3,2)
Congratulations!!!!!!
Write your acceptance speech here and then choose another movie for us to haiku. (Please consult last posts to make sure you don't pick one we have already written about.)

He seems so rooted,
but, as I said in my review,
Fox trots to and fro.

Doc Brown sure can make
a DeLorean McFly,
both now and back then.
