I'd like to give another vote for "Frau im Mond."

Yes, it's dated by today's standards but for its time, it was hard science fiction, accurately predicting many aspects of rocket science such as the countdown to blast-off and multi-stage rockets.

As always, Lang's visual style is amazing, the lunar landscape sets are beautiful, and the melodrama of the plot is rather charming. I think it'd be a great pick and I love to hear what type of soundtrack Mr. Rapsis could come up with for this.

As for its length, if we could endure Endhiran the Robot, this one should be easy.

i saw "die frau im monde" in worcester at a film festival about 10 years ago. the live organist was terrific. the audience response seemed very positive and i enjoyed it. the rollout seen for the moonrocket was sensational. it is noteworthy as being the invention of the countdown. we were so close to having it and it got dumped for time constraints?? really??

Here's my suggestions

"way way out" a tribute to the late jerry lewis.

"what's so bad about feeling good" a tribute to the late mary tyler moore

"night of the demon" if we show this movie then we will have shown every title mentioned in the rocky horror picture show opening number "science fiction double feature"

I don’t recall Rocky Horror Picture Show ever playing the ‘thon. I think it would be kind of fun, maybe show it at midnight.

Suggested ROCKY HORROR for Decades! Would have been perfect at the Welles, early years at the Somerville or at the Coolidge. But, I think that ship has passed.

Aw, Source Code is off the list? We were really looking forward to that one. Too bad you couldn't get it. Incidentally, it is that film which kicks off a chapter of "The Mystery Show" podcast, the best one, in fact. It's called "How Tall is Jake Gyllenhaal."

Nope we never did show Rocky Horror, but as I recall, doing the "Time Warp" was part of our opening ceremonies for a few of the Coolidge years.

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

Whoa, Time Machine is in but now Superman's gone.
We're down to 8 films so hopefully we'll have some decent last minute additions soon.

Yeah yeah, but ya still see the f word being used to describe what critics criticize, but I guess movie is more appropriate these days.
Just want to know what we're gonna see at the 'thon this year as we are only a week away. (we're at 9 films now.)
I'm not even going to do the 'Airplane" gag.
