ALIEN (1979), STARGATE (1994), THINGS TO COME (1936) and the original GODZILLA (1954).

Your reactions?!

i missed gojira 15 years ago so i'm psyched for that
stargate was on continuous loop in a small screen at a marathon about 20 years ago and nobody came. if the marathon has an obsession with kurt russell (and i think it does) then why don't they show "soldier"? it is an awesome flick and stop confusing it with "universal soldier" that claud vandamm.
"things to come" has been my suggestion for many years. it is very timely because the way things are now we could easily find ourselves in the same situation in a few years.

I probably haven’t seen Godzilla, but the others are definitely classics.  Actually watched Stargate just a year or two ago when we started rewatching the associated show on Netflix.  These seem like solid choices.

Glad to see something that hasn’t been shown before, hope there is more unknowns being planned. I’ve been asking for the 4D Man for several years.

I can guarantee that there will more non-repeats announced!

garen was playing the godzilla trailer on the podcast. briefly at the very end we saw the face of raymond burr. i immedialy i shouted :"noooooooo". garen came back on the screen and announced that he was uncertain as to which version would be at the marathon. and he was apologetic and said he would much prefer the original. i would have phrased it more like "futt raymond burr"

As is posted on the info page, we will be showing the non-Burr Japanese cut. http://sf.theboard.net/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1673893250/0#0

A little birdy tells me more announcements are coming this week, perhaps as soon as Wednesday.

STAY TUNED!

Just wanted to note that I confirmed that the version of ALIEN we are showing is the original Theatrical cut.

The Director's cut showed at SF/29

Four more announced: Escape From Planet of The Apes, Total Recall, Happy Accidents and Back to the Future Part Deux


Thoughts?

Very excited about Escape from the Planet of the Apes and interested in Happy Accidents, which I've never gotten to.

Thumbs up or down for the lineup in full????

two thumbs way up and a snap.
2 arnold movies, an apes movie, beyond the time barrier, back to the future 2 (in 70 mm no less), godzilla and alien make this one of the best all time line ups.

It's a good cross section of classics from well known to more obscure.  It's a little bit light on recent movies (only 2), but should be a fun mix.  Looking forward to it!

What question? Use your words

As with just about every year, there are films on the bubble as to whether a print will be made available. One such title did, and something had to go -- and, it ended up being THINGS TO COME. It was on DVD anyway, so no great print loss. And, it can come back another year

GOOD GRIEF!!! stargate would be the obvious choice for a bump off the lineup. I pretty much stated so when i related that it played on continuous loop during marathon aproximately 20 and nobody watched it. from now on i'll be more explicit and call it my bump pick of the proposed lineup.
if it's not too late try to do something to rectify this abhorrent turn of events. specifically: dump stargate and resurrect things to come!!

A. STARGATE is a rare 35mm film print
B. THINGS TO COME is on DVD. Nothing special
C. STARGATE is a formal premiere at the Marathon proper. SF/20 was only at the nightflight which few attended
