Cat Flap
Here’s a brilliant piece of street reportage from long-term Dabbler, Nib, also known as Luke Brattoni. To quote the bloke: “While running past a bus stop on the way to work, I did a double-take and had to turn back to snap a pic.” And if you still can’t work out the wordplay appeal, forget furballs, or Antonio Banderas, and focus on the post-production lettering.
Thanks for the litter – sorry letter – Nib. Makes a puzzle-maker ponder what other movie locations are avaliable to advertisers…

What sort of people go around making up spontaneous anagrams?!

Us lot, Lotus

Maybe Platoon could be advertised on a plot?

Was hoping for another 's' but:
'Terminator Salvation', perhaps, in 'more train station lav[s.]'
or an L.A. Train Station mover

I'm omitting the movies to hopefully provide some anagrammatic entertainment; will post answers later in the unlikely event they are not solved. Words in square brackets are not part of anagram sections.
[Movie advertised three ways] How? Was printed (words with a pen)... [on] wide worn paths.
Sheet fencing, Vietnam.
At a Tantric float [Mardi Gras parade, perhaps]
Run alongside oasis.

Geoff- nice combination of letters there, that one took me about twelve attempts to crack. :P

Geoff's HOW WAS PRINTED has been driving me bonkers all morning. Sword in the Paw? Two Wander Ship? What Owners Dip? aaarghh

DA,
Your 'Two Wander Ship' made me think straight away of rabbits and bright eyes: Watership Down.
DA — 25 November at 03:14PM
Aha - so dang close.
I can think of another movie that would rely on
URBAN FRINGE TRADE.

Geoff's At a tantric float= Fatal attraction. Also had the letters for Titanic which I've never had any interest in watching and was wondering if there was a subtitle.
DA — 25 November at 05:08PM
Almost has the letters, Criseyde. (Titanic needs two Is.)
Criseyde — 25 November at 05:16PM
Oh, DA, long day. And do I get a hint with your comment, so dang close? Two of Geoff's (that I've looked at) starred Glenn (two N's?)
Your urban fringe, I'm thinking UN something.
Criseyde — 25 November at 05:28PM
Unfair?
Not fair, getting up early today and DeAling with 'pests' all DAy. :)
Geoff Bailey — 25 November at 05:53PM
Looks like they have provided some amusement; good! I'm particular glad to have confused DA for much of a morning -- not bad for twelve letters. *chuckles* (And DA was so very close, too...)
Congratulations Criseyde, dg, and Nib (although I don't know if that was for a single one or all four).
I detect a touch of the Coen brothers about the urban fringe, DA.
