Ok. Three pages into the second thread, NO MORE COMMENTARY SUGGESTIONS. There are already more movies listed than can ever be watched - it's like an infinite Netflix queue where people just keep adding crap 80's action films.
But-
This doesn't mean these are all going to happen -- there's about 8 years' worth of titles here, and new ones are coming out all the time -- but it will help you guys see if there are any gaps in our thinking, as well as to let us know which ones you really want to hear, since you might be more or less interested in some than we might assume.
The 'crap' action movies that Squiggly suggested are already on Dorkman's list so some of us are actually doing what the opening post suggests. I do agree there needs to be a bit more order, though but I don't really think it is up to you or I to tell others that.

How about Wonderboys? - My all time favorite movie about the process of writing and writers (Adaption is a close seccond).
Curtis Hanson directing. Based on a novel written by Michael Chabon, he of John Carter fame.
Michael Douglas, Tobey Maguire's best role, Frances McDormand, Robert Downey Jr. + a bunch of great character actors.
My favorite quote from the movie...
Holden, could we make the sarcasm tag more obvious? Maybe some kind of marquee effect?
Wait, you were being sarcastic? Really? Fair enough.

...Death to Smoochy...
Yes, please...

I think I posted this in chat, but didn't really beat the horse properly:
Sacrastices (like parentheses, only with jaggedy squiggles)

Sartalics:

I don't see how your comment was sarcastic, despite the sartalics, since sarcasm is saying the opposite of what you mean but the italicized comment seems to be precisely what you mean to say.
Sarcasm would be something like "I'm glad we've got three pages of suggestions to expand the list - it was pretty sparse." That's obviously untrue and can be assumed as sarcasm without having to resort to typographical cues like backwards italics.

Anyway, what about a low-budget fest, starting with Hobo with a Shotgun.

Well, you see, there is a Hobo...
...
...
...with a shotgun. 
Hobo with a Shotgun, I know...
..I know, it's serious....
[edit] Just checked the list and it is already on there... and if memory now serves me right it was my suggestion a big while back that got it on the list in the first place...

Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, maybe?
The Hunt for Red October?
I second the poll option (with or without kickstarter money) for a commentary or indeed, to vote a movie OFF the island (i.e. shorten Dorkman's list of nominations). But generally mopping up the remaining franchises is a good place to start.
I thoroughly enjoyed the last poll we did which chose those six films before LOTR. I learnt that democracy is great but that I should lubricate the system with money and loose women.
my suggestion isn't for a new movie to add to the list of commentaries. I simple ask if the DIF crew would please announce when you're going to do a live stream the way you used to. I don't exactly know what the technical term is for the website. It was usually displayed just above the website menu bar...?

We're not recording this week, but I agree that we need to start announcing the stream again in advance when we do. I've figured out how to do that so I'll make sure it gets done.

It's announced every time, announcements never stopped. (Every time but once recently that I can think of.) We just don't record as much anymore.
Or do you just mean announcing it on the forum itself? Cuz... yeah. That one I've fallen out of the habit of for some reason. I'll snap myself out of it.
I meant announcing on the forum itself like before. Not everyone uses twitter and Facebook.

What is the deal with Robert De Niro now? Seriously. Did he lose a bet and have to start picking scripts at random out of a hat?

"The Scary Movie franchise has spent the past decade reminding people that things exist, and then having those things fart and bonk their heads and confusing that with knee-sleeping wizardry."
Okay, that's beautiful. Ebert may be gone, but others are ready to pick up the torch. Yay!

"Hey Robert, I be you can't be in a movie with Robin Williams this year?"
