SteveJRogers Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 This could be interesting, a 2013 version of Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Know Who Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 This has been suggested before and the relation to the theme of the episode might be too tenuous, but what about The Wizard of Oz as one of your Halloween movies? The uttering of a particular line ("There's no place like home") multiple times has the effect of magically spiriting someone someplace (though Dorothy is both the summoner and the one summoned). Plus, the movie's antagonist is a witch and it has a few spooky moments in it, both Halloweeny elements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted August 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 I like that. I'll run it by Shana tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pan-dub Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 I know it's been suggested before but we had a Matrix marathon this week and I'd love to hear how you guys would properly handle a rebooted Matrix story. You know, with a good ending that links well to the first two. You might not even need three movies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 You've done the other two John Hughes/Molly Ringwald collabs. I think the time may have come for 16 Candles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjoyadet Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 I would actually be really interested to see you discuss, like, super successful movies. Star Wars Indiana Jones Animal House The Wizard of Oz Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Ghostbusters Also Flash Gordon. The 1980 version is great for what it is, but before I die, I want to see a really good Flash Gordon movie. On the subject of having an okay movie out but wanting to see a good version. How about a remake of Ray Bradbury's movies. I do not think I have met a person who saw "Farenheit 451" and wanted to see it remade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Idea: Do a "demake" for an episode. Choose a movie that's much more recent than you normally do and cast the film as if it had been made at some point in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted June 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Welcome, jeresyd, and thank you for the suggestions.We've discussed doing Grease, Beverly Hills Cop, and 48 Hours, so I would not be surprised at all if they wind up being covered on the show. As for the rest, at present we're looking at the schedule post-episode 51 (Ghost), so I'll run these by Shana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 A Hard Day's Night. I'm serious. Don't limit yourselves to musicians or even men. The film is much more than just a collection of songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Know Who Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Country Life- Recently discovered this on Netflix and thought it might qualify as a possible hidden gem. It's a loose adaptation of Uncle Vanya set in Australia shortly before its independence movement, starring Sam Neill, and featuring a very good candidate for the next round of the Douchies. The score largely sucks, but the story and characters are strong enough that it could be retold in a number of settings. And while you have already reviewed and remade a Chekhovian movie, this one at least has a gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deer Tick Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 A couple oldies I'd suggest: The Philadelphia Story Rope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 I'll second both of those. The Philadelphia Story is a classic screwball comedy and it would be interesting to hear who you think has the chops to be Katherine Hepburn. As for Rope, considering the villains are a coded gay couple and the experimental nature of the piece, it could make for an interesting discussion.

Deer Tick Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 A clockwork orange: a film for prettymuch just one strong actor, but a whole lot of updating on the artistic side would be in order. Would the music be changed to contemporary stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Mockery Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Just rewatched The Philadelphia Story (which is something of a comfort film in our home) and my girlfriend and I both agreed that it could well stand up to a remake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 What's Up Doc?: Suggesting since it's one of my favorite Barbra Streisand movies but also because it just really works as a screwball comedy with plenty of great roles on display outside of Babs just being awesome for the sake of being awesome.

You Know Who Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Planes, Trains, and Automobiles: It's been a while since you've done a John Hughes movie. In my opinion, this is his best, in addition to being a perfect Thanksgiving/life goes to hell film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
