It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

A very long, very funny movie.

Re: Suggest a movie!

When I was a kid, I probably watched "The Last Starfighter" a couple hundred times, thanks to heavy rotation on HBO the summer before I discovered girls.

I recently watched it again for nostalgia's sake, and I was surprised to discover that it holds up really, really well. I can't really judge, since I still practically have the damn thing memorized, but it struck me as an objectively good little movie.

Rumor has it there's a sequel in the works over at Universal. Maybe this one could find its way into the rotation?

I'm amused that since that list was put together none of them have made the cut yet smile

Wait, I just saw Truman show on there. So much for the above comment!

Can't remember if anyone brought it up 500 posts ago or not, but Excalibur really should be in your to do pile. Live action fantasy for whatever reason rarely works well, maybe because it just tends to look stupid, and pre Lord of the Rings Excalibur was really the only good one.

Re: Suggest a movie!

I still haven't shown the guys THE ROOM. I have to be there when it happens, and actually Ryan has also forbade me from screening it for them without him. The first time is a special thing.

That being said, while I will join the conversation if the others really want to do it, I would agree with Jeffery that it's not an ideal DIF picture. While it would seem to be prime material, since a lot of what we do is talking about where movies went wrong, THE ROOM is a special case. It lives in a rarefied realm of so-bad-it's-awesome, and talking about what went wrong would be akin to doing a commentary on a comedy, in which we did nothing but explain all the jokes. We could only make it less funny by doing so.

That said, recording their first viewing would make for a Very Special Down in Front smile

Remember the log video from "Event Horizon?" Yeah, that.

So, by Jeff's long post, any movie that has been suggested but not listed by the DiFers they don't think one way or the other about, or at least not strongly. *nod*

I think 'someone' should scan this for most posted films and make a poll of it. It's requests already, but as I've still to scan this thread myself, I'm not entirely sure how many have been taken from this thread. If I recall correctly, Sunshine was, but as far as I know(and that's me personally), that's the only one.

I mean, I requested 'empire', but it's pretty much a given anyway.

Re: Suggest a movie!

Empire is happening.

I welcome anybody who wants to make a poll and post it on this board. We don't have poll-style threads on this boardsystem, though.

Bourne Trillogy
Pulp Fiction
Get Shorty

And that's just for starters tongue

I luuurrrv Heat.  Get Shorty is gerat and The Rock is hysterical for me.  I worked a bit in Chemical Weapons in the Army and anytime the VX gas comes out its a riot.

I'd lurv to hear Eddie and the gang do Heat. Get Shorty's good but it's a shame about that ending.

I'm still waiting for you guys to do Serenity.

Re: Suggest a movie!

you guys should do Evolution, Ivan Reitman almost made up for Ghostbusters 2 with that movie.

Re: Suggest a movie!

Can I throw "The Right Stuff" onto the pile? (Though at three and a quarter hours, it might be a stretch.)

I can't think of a movie less in DiF's comfort zone but that I would really like you guys to do more than "Amadeus."
