In this TV-movie TRIPLE, A future British jail tries aversion therapy (with unintended results) on Piper Chapman, imprisoned for a decade-old charge of transporting drugs. A white reporter takes skin darkening treatments so that he can investigate the story "from the inside."

Yes,

but I needed rest in front of me,

otherwise sometimes I can't think until I awaken later from a nap

and slap my forehead.

Ok, so we've got "A Clockwork Orange Is the New Black Like Me."

(A Clockwork Orange + Orange is the New Black + Black Like Me)

The third was especially easy since something reminded me of it

this past week.

Correct.

Did you dye your skin last week?

I made it a triple, and it may get easier now.

In this movie,

the stepdaughter of a sadistic army officer is spirited away into an eerie fantasy world

by a faun and a flying, immortal boy. She ends up in a conflict between pirates, orphans,

and The Goblin King.

(Title-order police, get lost.)

I get the Peter Pan references. It's the officer's stepdaughter part that I don't get.

George

You're missing everything up to and including the word "Faun."

But the glam-rock "Goblin King" might ring a bell.

Didn't John Travolta play a corrupt general in The General's Daughter. That could be the title police listening.

No idea, but it has nothing to do with this round.

Ok, Title Police Get Lost means the second movie in the clue will be the first in the answer.

Peter Pan

So you need a movie that starts with the word Pan.

Without even knowing the plot, I'd guess

Peter Pan's Labyrinth

It's basically an announcement of that.

Peter Pan

It follows logically, yes.

Without even knowing the plot, I'd guess

Peter Pan's Labyrinth

That's it.

Peter Pan + Pan's Labyrinth + Labyrinth.

Labyrinth is remembered for David Bowie's role as The Goblin King.

Among people who never watched it. I figured having the entire

name of the second movie would make it possible to fill in

even without trying to give the second name.

I also didn't think "Pan's Labyrinth" would have been such a hard

target. Here, it's "Faun's Labyrinth", but the concept is the same.

(Maybe if I'd used 'satyr' I'd have shaken something loose.)

A young girl who secretly snoops on her friends and neighbors finds herself in trouble after her sworn enemy gets a hold of her diary. She turns to a couple of pre-teens, Carmen and Juni Cortez, for assistance.

Snooping children isn't enough of a clue?

A young girl with the same name as Bruce Wayne's aunt in the old Batman series (by TOTAL coincidence) secretly snoops on her friends and neighbors. She finds herself in trouble after her sworn enemy gets a hold of her diary. She turns to Carmen and Juni Cortez, the preteen children of secret agents, for assistance.

And after that, I got nuttin.

Ok, the first time, the Mrs and I were lost.

I've got it now.

This movie is "Harriet the Spy Kids."

Digression:

You may find it mildly interesting what names get changed where.

Long ago, Kermit the Frog was "La Rana Rene", Rene the Frog.

He's rendered that in captions for "Big Bang Theory."

But for the movie "the Muppets", he was "Kermit" in all the

promotional material as well as the movie. And the Disney

Channel had Kermit show up during some commercial break and

announce he used to be known as "La Rana Rene" but would now

be known as "Kermit." (Apparently, this announcement was for

the parents, since the kids may have been unfamiliar with

the Muppets until this movie came out.)

As for the Batman TV show, it's one example of where Batman's

name was rendered differently. There-and cartoons that came

after- he was BRUNO DIAZ, and his faithful young ward was

RICARDO TAPIA. ("Ricardo" is a translation of "Richard",

and "Bruno" may have been an attempt to make the first name

closer for Bruce. As for the last names, I've got nuthin'.)

As for Alfred and Aunt Harriet, they were "Alfred" and

"Aunt Harriet." No "Alfredo"-we think it's because he was a

British butler and so "needed" the British name.
