Movie Theme Suggestions for 2009?

[Bad Zombie Night]

I closed the February suggestions thread, and I started this one for the remainder of the year. As I said, we will have one Movie Night gathering per month but I still need input from everyone. I like this to be a team effort so everyone can have their say as to what we will watch.

I came up with a couple of ideas for the next two months, and here there are:

March 2009: A Zombie Movie or something with a St. Patty's Day theme like the movie Leprechaun?

April 2009: A regular Comedy or perhaps a Horror Comedy?


OK, let's here your thoughts about this or other future Movie Nights. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y152/bzn123/Smileys/brain.gif

[Zombreach]

I like the idea of a zombie movie for March. There are so many to choose from...
As for comedy, I really am not a big fan. The only comedies I like are Dumb and Dumber and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. I do however like the zombie comedies...Dead and Breakfast, Shaun of the Dead, Undead or ALive, just to name a few...

[Darkness]

"Here's a few thoughts....."

"May: 'Killer Plant' Movies." (Spring, time for things to bloom.)

"July: 'Verses Movies'." (Such as Freddy Vs. Jason, Alien Vs. Predator, etc.) (In honor of Independence Day.)

"September: 'Worker Goes Crazy and Kills Everyone' Movies." (That's the month with Labor Day Weekend.) :)

"December: 'Warped Santa Movies, or Bloody Christmas' Movies." (In honor of Christmas, what else?) :evil:

[RIP]

I think you ought to have like for every month have holiday themed movies from that month. Like for instance:

Mother's Day - whatever month that is have everyone watch the slasher film from the 80's called Mother's Day.

July - have people watch Uncle Sam which is a 90's slasher film.

October - watch any of the Halloween film series or Trick or Treat film or etc...

April - April Fools Day originnal 80's slasher film

Know what I mean?:drinking:

[BarnabusBlackoak]

April, horror comedy !

[UseYourHeadCutOffTheirs]

I like the idea that all the movies we watch are ones that I have been neglecting to see...That way I will get up off my rump and go buy them..

I am going to vote for some old school movies...

Eraserhead, and Pink Flamingos are some of my choices....uhh Blue Velvet anyone? never saw it...heard it was good....liked Mullholland Dr...sooooo


uuhhhh

corpse bride?:roll: haven't seen it in awhile....might be nice! :lol:

[RIP]

How about an irish horror themed film is St. Patrick's Day is 3 weeks away......like maybe:

Leprechaun
The Eternal
etc.....

[DarthJoe8]

How about something good and worthwhile?? :roll: Nothing fruity...:lol:

So you don't like my selection eh?:lol:

As long was we don't have to watch the giant ant film called THEM!:poo::puke::lol:

[Darkness]

"How about Killer Rabbit Movies in April, in honor of Easter?" :evil:

[LMOE]

In April, you gotta do zombie comedy. This is a zombie forum, so you should really keep to the zombie genre. You should also pick movies that most people have in their collection.

My suggestions for April:

Shaun of the Dead
Fido
Undead
Return of the Living Dead

[RIP]

I don't know of any killer rabbit horror films for April but here's 2 slasher films that deal with April:

April Fools Day - 1986

April Fools Day - remake

[UseYourHeadCutOffTheirs]

I just suggest that we have more time allowed to find said movies before our movie night. I ordered this Saturday's movie and am sad to say that it won't be here until Monday.



Oh and this whole theme movie thing is kinda dumb. Why is it that just because it's Easter or Mother's Day or whatever, our movies have to reflect that holiday? :loon:

Oh it doesn't have to be that way at all lol. I just thought it would be cool but oh well lol.:evil:

Okay, here's some more suggestions for April:

Fright Night
Plan 9 from Outer Space - to get drunk to lol:drinking:
Texas Chainsaw Massacre - original 1974
Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue - aka Let Sleeping Corpses Lie
Zombie 3: After Death
Shock Waves
Dead Alive
The Prowler

I love Plan 9!!!!!!!! I wouldn't mind watching it. I actually have never been able to sit all the way through it. I always fall asleep. But I would almost rather see something I have never seen before.

April Fools Day - 1986

April Fools Day - remake

"Two Killer Rabbit Movies: Donnie Darko and Night of the Lepus." ;-)

[Victor Clark]

Does it HAVE to be horror movies? Couldn't we have a comedy or something? I think for April, a good choice would be "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?".

[LMOE]

"Just because it's a Zombie Forum, doesn't mean all we ever watch are zombie movies." ;-) :lol:


That is just my personal prefrence. If it's not a zombie movie, I probably won't watch it.

How about a beer drinking movie like:

Beerfest
Old School
Porky's
Animal House
40 Year old Virgin
Waiting

Wow, aren't we biased?


How about Cinderella?:lol:

or or or or!!!!!

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST!!!!!!!


But no really.
Have you guys seen Strange Wilderness?? bloody hularious!

Or

Hot Rod?

I'm a huge fan of both...Great movies, I don't care what anyone says.:drinking:

[Victor Clark]

I wouldn't mind renting Hot Rod for movie night.

[RIP]

Here's some more suggestions:

Hot Fuzz
Supertroopers
Club Dread
Hell's Ground - decent pakistan zombie film

[Bad Zombie Night]

"Two Killer Rabbit Movies: Donnie Darko and Night of the Lepus." ;-)

Well here's my suggestions for May:

May - the film called May about a psychotic girl.

Mother's Day - early 80's slasher film

Zombie 3: After Death

Bad Taste - Peter Jackson's 1st film

Chopping Mall - corny but fun movie about killer robots in a mall from the 80's.

[DarthJoe8]

Lets go Sci-Fi....like Aliens or Predator or STAR WARS!!! :eat:

Well if it has to be a SciFI flick then I would choose one of these since I have these on dvd:

The Thing - 1982
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Ghosts of Mars
LifeForce
Alien
Parasite - 1980 scifi type of film that was Demi Moore's first role

Schindler's List
Saving Private Ryan
The Pianist
Downfall (Der Untergang)
Pearl Harbor

Well some WW2 horror films are:

The Bunker
The Keep
Deathwatch
Horror of War - a zombie film
etc....

[UseYourHeadCutOffTheirs]

Why does a lot of people want to theme all the movies based on the months holiday? Why limit ourselves? Let's get crazy with it!




I must say, it has been awhile since i've any seen SW. I have actually been whistling the theme music quite frequently at work lately.

All of those suggestions sound fine. I'll definitely add May to the list though. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y152/bzn123/Smileys/thumbsup.gif

We already had The Thing for May of last year and it was a Movie Night disaster. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y152/bzn123/Smileys/Violence/budo.gif

Nobody except me showed up, and after that whole episode, I wound up shutting the whole thing down. The Thing is a fine movie but perhaps it is a bad omen for us. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y152/bzn123/Smileys/Violence/cut.gif

A Memorial Day theme is not a bad idea, but I'll not sure if any of those films would get enough votes. :2cents:

Holiday & Genre Themes are just a place to start. I'm open to anything we can all agree upon. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y152/bzn123/Smileys/Characters/1bnz_smiley.gif

You're referring to Star Wars? Which tune would that be? http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y152/bzn123/Smileys/Characters/BoogieChewie.gif

Yes. :clap:

I like that particular theme and some of those movie choices. http://www.allthingszombie.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=1&pictureid=2

[Interdeadical]

How about giving some of last month's close runners another shot? :think:

I'd love to see Shaun of the Dead up on the poll!

And perhaps something classic like one of Romero's movies? Remind ourselves of the greatness of George! :mrgreen:

Maybe some J-Horror? The Eye, Battle Royale, Ju-on.. etc..? :drool:

I believe that they might be remaking Battle Royale... I could be wrong on that. I LOVED the book. Never saw the movie though. Heard it wasn't that great.

I'm so with you on this one!!!! I think this is an excellent set of choices! I have to say that I hated The Ruins though. That movie was just bad. But hey if it's put up to a vote then that's fine. I would just really like to not have to buy that movie...:doh:


And no, I don't rent......I own.....:drinking:

Cool, I'd heard rumors too, but I thought they'd given up on the project :)

They sorta already have made a bastardized version; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Condemned

I thought the movie was amazing personally. I didn't like the second one very much though :puke:


If I had to choose one from the many posted above, I'd go for Bodysnatchers :drinking:

[LMOE]

I don't wanna be a downer... but there is really no reason for a "theme" since we only watch one movie a month.

[Zombreach]

June...I'm thinking a good werewolf movie. How about Dog Soldiers, Underworld, or one of the Ginger movies?

[DarthJoe8]

Underworld is cool, I saw Dog Soldiers and it was cool up until the end then it got silly and kinda dumb...:doh: I've never seen the Ginger movies...:eat:

[Bad Zombie Night]

Yes, we watch one movie month but it's voted on by the members. The whole "theme" idea is designed to offer members a variety of film titles from a varied subgenres, so we don't get locked into watching the same type of horror movies every month. But if you notice from our past polls, the themes are not really exclusive. We try to offer a varied selection of film titles every month. I'm currently working on a list of "Movie Night Rules" regarding which films get put into the polls, so we can rotate 'films and 'genres' around.

I'm thinking classy like omega man or eyes without a face. Wolfman would be cool or run ***** cat run.

[Victor Clark]

How about we have a theme for each month based on directors? One month we could have Quentin Tarantino movie choices, another month would be Judd Apatow movies, and so on. I'm only suggesting that because I want to watch Pineapple Express on the forums.

Let's hears you thoughts. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y152/bzn123/Smileys/brain.gif

[dead and loving it]

I think it HAS to be a Halloween movie. We've done the original, but one of the sequels or the remake would suffice.

[DarthJoe8]

Sounds good to me!! :drinking:

[Bad Zombie Night]

I think it HAS to be a Halloween movie. We've done the original, but one of the sequels or the remake would suffice.

I figured a movie from the Halloween series would rank 1st on everyone's mind. I was thinking about leaving the original out of the poll but its been over a year and 4 months since it was last shown. I'll let the voters decide. http://www.allthingszombie.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=1&pictureid=1

Any other ideas except Halloween films? Perhaps a classic Zombie movie maybe? :zom1:
