OK, novice's wins, but he can't pick the next one since GUEST was his selection.

What is the best backronym for Guest?

Grating Until Extended Stay Terminates
20% [ 2 ]

Guess Ur Expecting to Stay Tonight

Second place is a tie between me and DejMar, and I've already selected a few words, so we'll leave it for DejMar (almost wrote DM, but I guess that is taken).

DejMar, would you pick a new word for us?

Oh wow, that is really good on a second reading... I only know the movie by hearsay though, so I didn't make the connection the first time.

While clever, I can't believe the leader is leading. THere are two more accurate acronyms above it, and the current one pretty much just insults the movie in a way that you could apply to almost any modern action film.

I'm not following in here, but I dropped in on this one. I think either of the first two is better than the one chosen. /two cents

I don't think the one chosen is bad. In fact its quite well done. It was just third on my list. Either way, the votes are the votes. I didn't like the election results in my country for years because people kept voting for a party that was screwing our economy. But that's reality. They did do some good things too.

I have to confess that I honestly thought Jack_Ian's would win this easily, although its weakness was that it required you to know the film to understand how clever it was. Mine was somewhat deliberately facetious but irresistible once I'd seen the first two.

New word: INTERNET
