It's come to my attention that M#1 has not seen The Nightmare Before Christmas. This makes me wonder, how many classic movies (geek, childrens or otherwise) have some or all of our members somehow been missing out on?

So... what parts of pop culture do you think should be show on Mars camp? What movies do you think it absolutely essential that everyone sees? Or that it would just be really awesome to watch together.

I'll get the ball rolling with some suggestions:

The Nightmare Before Christmas
The Fifth Element
Serenity
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Blade Runner
Hogfather
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
The Neverending Story
Labyrinth
Beetlejuice
The Princess Bride

...any other suggestions?

i can supply all 4 Monty Python movies on DVD :D (The Meaning of Life is better than the Holy Grail)

also which version of Willy Wonka? (i say the original) and the original stargate movie (i have directors cut on the computer, can try to put onto a working disc, hopefully the DVD is divx compatible to make things easier)

The original is Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. The remake is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (teh lamez).

See all cept Nightmare Before Christmas. And will be happy to watch all of them again! :D

If you are including labyrinth then you should also include

Dark Crystal


but...
Fifth element seriously? I mean it wasnt bad but hardly a classic must see.

and..
I really should watch the monty python movies, and hogfather.

not actually a fan of blade runner or princess bride. but three classic must sees at least for girls are 16 candles, breakfast club and pretty in pink and for all nerds and geeks weird science kicks arse

Antitrust
Sneakers
Hackers
Johnny Mnenonic
The Recruit
The Italian Job
Anything related to Kevin Mitnick


Any other movie with serious references to hacker culture (The Net does NOT count!!!)

Equilibrum
Indiana Jones Lost Ark and Last Crusade
*cough* star trek *cough*
Pulp Fiction
Orignal Planet of the Apes series *if you can stay awake xD*
Blazing Saddles
Army of Darkness *this is my boomstick*

probably come up with more in time, but really depends on peoples tastes, b grade horror/zombie flicks?

Ah, Pretty in Pink. Definitely. <3

yay another molly ringwald fan!

Some Bill Bailey standup for starters.

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.
Brazil.
Galaxy Quest.
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
Virtuosity.
Event Horizon.

I'm sure there are plenty more :P

I definately second Hackers though. It's so wonderfully dodgy and awesome :D

Oh, I've got the animated versions of Soul Music and Wyrd Sisters, if any of the fantasy geeks are interested.

i have just witnessed one very funny (and rather old) movie... Hotshots 2

best visual gags and good actors! (Rowan Atkinson and Ryan Stiles anyone?)

me me! they got me into Terry Pratchett when ABC showed them YEARS ago!!

bill bailey is ok but has anyone seen robin williams doing standup he rocks!!!

and as for hitchhikers which one????

hehe according to terry Pratchett i am inferrior for using multiple exclaimation points

True, Robin Williams is indeed teh lols. I am however a true student of the Church of Bailey :P

As far as the H2G2 goes, I'm referring to the recent one. The TV show sucked, the radio play however was sexylicious :D

Teh awezomes is Eddie Izzard.

I just remembered the most awesomtastic movie ever and we should totally watch it.

October Sky!!!!!

or maybe it's just me and my astronomy g33k tendancies. :P

I think it might just be you :P

It did however remind me of 'The Rocketeer' :P
