Plants aren't your typical movie star, but there are plenty of movies that have main roles for a plant. Some of these movies make us glad that plants are in our lives and others make us think that having a plant around will surely lead to our demise. No matter what though, these movies would be nothing without their leading lady, Flora.
"Little Shop of Horrors" is a classic movie about a plant with a bad side. The comedy musical is about a Venus fly trap that feeds on human flesh. Seymour, Rick Moranis, works at a flower shop when he receives this odd plant which he then names Audrey II after the girl of his dreams who also works in the flower shop, Audrey. Seymour then has to find a way to keep Audrey II alive and begins to kill for the plant. As the blood thirsty plant grows it becomes a large attraction for the flower shop generating lots of business, but makes it very difficult for Seymour to keep secret the fact that he has been killing people to keep the plant alive. When Audrey II becomes famous to more than just the town, there is talk of replicating it and selling it across the nation which is when Seymour realizes the plant had been planning world domination all along. Of course, despite his desperate efforts to get rid of Audrey II, Seymour becomes one of the plants victims. Audrey II is then replicated and spread throughout the world.
Another movie that could possibly make you afraid of any and all plants, at least when the wind blows, is M. Night Shyamalan's "The Happening" starring Mark Wahlberg, Zooey Deschanel and John Leguizamo. The movie follows Elliot and Alma Moore (Wahlberg and Deschanel) as they try to run from a natural disaster that is causing people to kill themselves. The couple, joined by their friend Julian (Leguizamo) and his daughter, set off on a train to escape the killings that are happening in New York City but the train ends up stopping because they lost connection with anyone and everyone. After learning that the incidents are caused from plants that are angry with humanity and they are beginning to spread, the people on the train decide to split up into groups in hope to escape the spreading disaster. Eventually, the groups get smaller and smaller leaving just Elliot, Alma, and Julian's daughter. They find a home out in the country, and the three of them lock themselves in different parts of the home in hopes to save themselves from the wind the plants have created. The three of them survive the plants revenge on humanity and all is well in the world, until you learn it is happening again in Paris.
One movie starring a plant that may not be too big of a surprise is "Batman & Robin" starring George Clooney as Batman, Chris O'Donnel as Robin, Arnold Schwarzeneger as Mr. Freeze, Alicia Silverstone as Batgirl, and Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy. Poison Ivy is one of the main villains in this film and uses her poison to make Batman and Robin fall in love with her and yearning for her kiss, which of course is laced with poison causing death. Of course, as any woman who loves Mother Nature would, Poison Ivy plans on turning the world into a rich rain forest and killing all humans who cause harm to plants every day. Ivy and Mr. Freeze join up to defeat Batman and Robin, but Batman reveals to Freeze that Ivy killed his wife. Eventually Ivy and Freeze are thrown into jail and are cell mates, which means Freeze can get his revenge on Ivy for killing his wife.
