Take for example the on-screen phone call. It rarely warrants a second thought as a stand-alone moment in a film, but when [Burger Fiction](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXZQA0vdUY4ZRzEZ5TFKdNA) puts them all together it plays like the best game of telephone ever. From Drew Barrymore answering the phone in the opening moments of _Scream_ to Harrison Ford as the president desperately calling for assistance in _Air Force One_ or _Napoleon Dynamite_ simply wanting a Chapstick delivery they are all connected via the telephone. In the supercut the phone calls blend together almost seamlessly with Michael Douglas in _Wall Street_ calling an unfortunate soul trapped in Jigsaw’s basement of horrors in _Saw_ who demands to know who he is talking to (it’s George Clooney in _One Fine Day_!) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4038389/supercut-movie-phone-calls/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4038389/supercut-movie-phone-calls/"},"headline":"This Supercut of Movie Phone Calls Is The Best Game of Telephone Ever","datePublished":"2015-09-17T14:54:10.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:24:51.227Z","description":"*Ring Ring*","url":"https://time.com/4038389/supercut-movie-phone-calls/","keywords":["Newsfeed","movies","Viral Videos"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4038389/supercut-movie-phone-calls/","name":"This Supercut of Movie Phone Calls Is The Best Game of Telephone Ever"}}]}] ```
