Future Ideas
Ideas for future screenings.
✔️🗳️ Ready-to-go pairs
| Theme | Film 1 | Film 2 | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🇹🇷 Turkey Week 2 | Turkish E.T. (1984) or Karate Girl (1973) |
Turkish The Exorcist (1974) or many others |
|
| Escape Room (2017) | Escape Room (2017) | Escape Room (2017) | No clue if these films are actually funny bit it would be a good meme. |
| Social Deduction Games | Circle (2015) | Mafia: Survival Game (2016) | Idea by Markus, maybe wait for / summon him. He notes regarding Mafia:
|
| 👻💻 Early 2000s Internet Horror | Horrorvision (2001) | .com for Murder (2002) | These have unwisely both been ordered as DVDs off Amazon but .com for Murder has an expected arrival of June 14th! It was ordered on May 25! Useless. |
| 🐱🎩 The week where Josh dies | Racing Stripes | The Cat in the Hat | |
| 🎾 Documentaries on Niche Sports 2 | Pecking Order (2017) | Set! (2021) | More in the genre here |
| 📚 Bad YA Book Adaptations | Chaos Walking (2021) | Eragon (2006) | This was discussed in the pub, good luck. Feel like you need Simon, Josh, or others who grew up with these to get suitably angry at them. |
| 📉 Very Low-Grossing films with Matthew McConaughey | Glory Daze (1995) | Tiptoes (2002) | PROCEED WITH CAUTION. |
| 🦑🐙 Cephalopod Week | It Came from Beneath the Sea (1955) | Octopus 2: River of Fear (2001) | It Came Beneath looks like a classic 50s film, Octopus 2 was picked to fit the theme. Alex has it on DVD if it can't be found anywhere. |
| 🇪🇬 Egypt week | The Madness of Youth (1975) | Helali's Fist (1991) | Cannot remember what these are, think they're on KG. This is completely blind they're pretty obscure. |
| 🪨 Asteroids from 1998 week | Armageddon (1998) | Deep Impact (1998) | Very long! 4.5 hours! |
| 📽 Meta week | The Disaster Artist (2017) | Dolemite Is My Name (2019) | Films about the making of previous vcinema films. |
| 🧑🎤 Musical biopic week | Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) | Stardust (2020) | This is a long one, Stardust might just be anger-inducing too. |
| Cross over/parody TV | Top Ground Gear Force | Can't Smeg Won't Smeg (1998) (red dwarf-themed parody of Can't Cook Won't Cook) | |
| 🇹🇼 Taiwan week | The Pheonix (1978) (recommended here) | Thrilling Bloody Sword (1981) | The Pheonix has been on the list for ages, and Sid and Alex saw Thrilling Bloody Sword in an IMAX and it was top. Might be hard to find? |
Nearly ready-to-go pairs
| Theme | Film 1 | Film 2 | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🇬🇷 Greece Week | Computer of Death (1987) | Super Demetrios (2011) | Need to finish subtitling Computer of Death |
| 👻📺 Children's Horror Anthologies | 3 episodes of Goosebumps | 3 episodes of Are You Afraid of the Dark | Need to pick episodes, consult with Maia |

There's so many but finding any online opinions, especially for ones with subs, is tough. |
