once again i will ask knowing that it will fall on deaf ears for "the book of eli". it's a well done post apocalyptic action packed kung fu, gun fu, sword fu, sup prize ending, cameo that will bring the house down. it is not an overbearingly religious movie.

Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing it since it's one of those marginal titles I've never seen. Not sure if there's any great rationale for showing it other than the "don't let it fall into the Black Hole" one.

Second film for SF40 to be announced within the hour!

I can't complain but sometimes I still do. Life's been good to me so far.

Saw Book of Eli and agree it would make a good entry at the 'thon.

Man Who Fell To Earth? Yeah, certainly overdue for a showing.
Ed Wood? Perfect oddball entry for the marathon crowd.

Still say the one film LOOOOOONG overdue is the original Creature From The Black Lagoon.

I can't complain but sometimes I still do. Life's been good to me so far.

Kirok is right.

Whew.....wow.....never thought I'd write those words. Wink

Wink

But seriously, THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH is a genuine counterculture classic, with Bowie's best screen turn, a wonderfully sleazy (yet still sympathetic) Rip Torn, and the chronically underrated Candy Clark. Only mark against it is the running time; putting it in a lineup that already has three films that are 2+ hours makes things really tight.

Waitaminit.....I just realized that MOONRAKER is 126 minutes. MOONRAKER? MOONRAKER?!?!? With 2001 and SNOWPIERCER now in the lineup, devoting such a large chunk of the schedule to MOONRAKER is pretty excessive.

One of my key requests is a repeat showing of the animated feature that wowed the marathon audience. Yes, I mean Iron Giant. A terrific movie about a boy and his robot set in the 50's. Soooperman!

I bring you peace. It may be the peace of plenty and content or the peace of unburied death.

Here's a somewhat whimsical idea: The 1986 version of Little Shop of Horrors.

The musical version is more explicitly science fiction than the original, it's never played the 'thon, and if we could get the new director's cut version with the original ending, I think that finale would kill on the big screen.
