In this movie,
a teenager flunks his driving test and goes out for a wild time anyway-
and is sought by another high schooler as a replacement date for her prom.
(I was going to make this a triple, but the description
was going to be incoherent, so it's a standard before-and-after.)

Part of the title was changed when a Britney Spears song was added to the
soundtrack, and 2 actors (Melissa and Adrian) appeared in the video of the song
to cross-promote and increase name recognition for the movie and the song.

Really? OK, then.
Scudder is a detective with the Sheriff's Department who is forced to shoot a violent suspect during a narcotics raid. The ensuing psychological aftermath of this shooting worsens his drinking problem and this alcoholism causes him to lose his job, as well as his marriage. Trying to regain his marriage, he attends a Christmas party at her office building, only to wind up battling a terrorist group led by Hans Gruber.

Cheated.
And that would make an AWESOME name for the next sequel in the series of the second title.

we'll need more info.

Cheated also.
I've never heard of the first movie, sorry.
That Jeff Bridges has sure been in a lot of stuff.
I'd never heard of him before "TRON" and he'd been busy by then.

Unless some lurker pops in, the only other contestant is Human, and he hasn't gotten it yet, so I'll just flip over the cards.
"8 Million Ways to Die Hard." (And, yes, it would be a good title for the next installment.)

In this fairly recent movie,
a dark spirit launches an assault on Earth and the universe.
Legends unite to face him locally while criminals and misfits
unite to stop him in space.

This is not a reverse.

It was "Rise of the Guardians of the Galaxy."
You obviously knew the 2nd movie, but not the first.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rise_of_the_Guardians
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1446192/
It's been described as "the Avengers" for kids.

Aliens arrive on Earth in gigantic vessels, just in time to witness the third installment of a zombie apocalypse franchise.
