Misteryo Sa Tuwa
You think that if a mysterious plane containing millions of dollars were to crash in your backyard it would solve your problems? This is what happens in real life. Thanks to the LUA for the alert.
“It was like a script from a Hollywood film. A small plane carrying millions of dollars in cash crashes right in the middle of a poor village in a remote corner of the world. But this was no movie – this is what actually happened in the north-eastern Brazilian village of Maracangalha, and the event has since sparked a missing money mystery that provided an unhappy ending for the villagers.” (Read the report.)
Misteryo Sa Tuwa is a film by Abbo de la Cruz, produced by the ECP in the early 80s. You might catch it on Cinema One. Partly based on actual events, it not only prefigures real occurrences such as the above, but also the ear-slicing scene in Reservoir Dogs.

And of course A Simple Plan. I’ve read the book (intriguing) but have not seen the movie.
