First pass…
# Red Dawn
# Superman 1
# Superman 2
# Superman 2 Donner Cut
# Say Anything
# Gross Pointe Blank
# The Paper
That is the list of ones I would want to be “in the room” for.
As for the rest…
I think the Godfather should be high on the list, but not one right after the other. Give each some breathing room from the others.
Also, “Amelie” was suggested in the chat room a couple of weeks ago. (Added 10/15/09 - Tony)
I’ll probably have more suggestions as time goes on.
2 Chris // Oct 8, 2009 at 10:50 am
Sarah suggested Event Horizon for the list. (Added 10/15/09 - Tony)
3 TheGreatMrChibi // Oct 13, 2009 at 12:28 am
I just watched Peter Jackson’s “The Frighteners”– it was fantastic. It would make a great Halloween episode. (Added 10/15/09 - Tony)
4 Darrell // Oct 20, 2009 at 8:09 pm
I would like to vote for :
Rosemary’s Baby

Watched Peter Jackson’s Heavenly Creatures last week. That would a be an interesting one to do as well. (Added 10/26/09 - Tony)

9 Chris // Oct 29, 2009 at 1:36 pm
From the recording of Big Trouble…
Adam suggests Kung Fu Hustle.
Phil suggests Shaolin Soccer.(Both added 10/30/09 - Tony)
10 Chris // Oct 30, 2009 at 12:42 pm
Add Apocalypse Now to the list, per your statement in the Halloween ep.
FYI… Never seen it. (Added 11/04/09 - Tony)
11 Chris // Oct 30, 2009 at 4:09 pm
Also from the Halloween ep… Swimming with Sharks.
Great film. (Added 11/04/09 - Tony)
12 Chris // Nov 3, 2009 at 10:26 am
Do The Right Thing
Adam’s never seen it. (Added 11/04/09 - Tony)
13 Darren Goodhart // Nov 7, 2009 at 6:00 pm
Do The Right Thing is a terrific movie…
Lots of good stuff on that list, a lot of good things that I’d like to take part in- starting with Fight Club…
Of course, my own additions that I’d like to suggest would be the following:
Grindhouse
Reservoir Dogs
Dogville
A Clockwork Orange
GoodFellas
Dog Day Afternoon
Heavy Metal
Tron
and if you’re doing Mad Max eventually I’d figure a Road Warrior follow-up would be happening… (All 3 added 11/11/09 - Tony)

Hi guys,
I’m a recent listener and I have to say that I really enjoy the show… I’d like to put a movie in for consideration… “Let The Right One In”… Yes, it’s a vampire movie. Yes, it’s a horror movie. However, it’s so different than the recent entries into either one of those genres and I definitely think it’s in my top 5 flicks for the last 2 years… There’s critical acclaim all over this movie and, in my estimation, it’s entirely deserved. Seriously, this one is creepy as hell!!!
15 Chris // Nov 16, 2009 at 11:28 am
From the Red Dawn ep…
The Final Countdown
doo-di-doooo
doo-di-di-di-doooo…. (Added 11/17/09 - Tony)
16 Fowl Sorcerous // Nov 18, 2009 at 4:46 pm
It doesn’t come out till next year but, I’d like to hear you guys talk about Scott Pilgrim vs the World when it comes out.
17 Fowl Sorcerous // Nov 23, 2009 at 1:33 am
Also, any chance of you following up on Fight Club with Fight Club: Members Only, the horrendous/hilarious bollywood reimagining?
18 Fowl Sorcerous // Dec 2, 2009 at 11:03 pm
The Warriors
19 Ruroshen // Dec 3, 2009 at 1:55 am
The Iron Giant came up tonight in chat after the live show. It could make a good companion piece to one/some of Brad Bird’s later films with Pixar.
In fact, I don’t see any of the Pixar movies on the list. With Toy Story 3 coming up…I can’t remember, have any of them been done already?
20 TheGreatMrChibi // Dec 15, 2009 at 3:24 am
Iron Giant is always a fantastic movie. Actually, lets get some animation representation up there.

Chibi, I’m gonna poke you in the eye… OK… I guess I need to start adding to the list.
23 Fowl Sorcerous // Dec 17, 2009 at 2:32 pm
I do have a philosophy major, but I don’t want to watch ghost in the shell 2 ever again.
24 Jaybee63 // Jan 8, 2010 at 12:14 am
How about Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country? (Added 1/12/10 - Tony)
