Some years have had themes and some haven't. There really isn't a reason to have one except that it looks good on t-shirts, mugs and their ilk. As the titles role in, board members have had fun imagining what a potential theme might be based on some common element or other.

I suggest:

THE BIG BOYS: They Don't Cry!
Movie Actor Height
The Cabinet of Dr Caligari Conrad Veidt 6' 2 1/2"
This Island Earth
Jeff Morrow*
6' 1"*
This Island Earth Rex Reason
6' 3"
2001: A Space Oddyssey William Sylvester 6' 3"
Ragnarok
Pål Sverre Hagen
6' 5 1/2"
Them
James Arness 6' 7"
Moonraker
Richard Kiel 7' 2"
The Day the Earth Stood Still Gort 10'
The Iron Giant Title Role 60'

*Without his big forehead


Of course, Tom Cruise may feel excluded from this list.

I offered my idea.
"40 Years of Sci-Fi Films (24 hrs at a time)"
 

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