| Theme | Film 1 | Film 2 | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| ๐น๐ท Turkey Week 3 | 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. |
| ๐ฑ๐ฉ The week where Josh dies | Racing Stripes | The Cat in the Hat | |
| ๐พ Documentaries on Niche Sports 2 | Pecking Order (2017) | Set! (2021) | More in the genre here |
| ๐ 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. |
| ๐ Very Low-Grossing films with Matthew McConaughey | Glory Daze (1995) | Tiptoes (2002) | PROCEED WITH CAUTION. |
| ๐ฆ๐ 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. |
| ๐ช๐ฌ 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. |
| ๐ชจ Asteroids from 1998 week | Armageddon (1998) | Deep Impact (1998) | Very long! 4.5 hours! |
| ๐งโ๐ค 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) | |
| ๐ต๐ฑ Poland week 2 | Kiler (1997) | Curse of Snakes Valley (1988) | |
| ๐ซ Fake documentaries | The Day Britain Stopped (2003) | Death of a President (2006) | Fake docs on the death of George Bush and a big traffic jam. |
| 4Kids week | A Yu-Gi-Oh movie (the 2004 one, I dunno? it has awful ratings | The Digimon Movie (2000?) | (Yes I know 4Kids never touched Digimon but I dunno what else to call it) |
| โป๏ธ Films mentioned in other vcinema films | Hatchet for the Honeymoon (1970) | Krush Groove (1985) |
|
| ๐ GCSE English | Of Mice and Men (1992) or Of Mice and Men (1939) or Lord of the Flies (1963) or Lord of the Flies (1990) |
The Woman in Black (2012) or The Woman in Black (1989) or The Woman in Black (1914) or The Crucible or An Inspector Calls or etc. |
Lots of choices! Are they any good! |
| Damn it's 1977 and star wars just came out time to make a rip off | Message from Space (1978) | The Black Hole (1979) | Bet there is loads more to choose from, see also Battle Beyond the Stars (1980) |
| ๐๐ง Spooky 3D | Jaws 3 (1983) | Saw 3D (2010) | |
| ๐ณ Found Footage | [REC] (2007) | V/H/S (2012) or Nightmare Code (2014) |
|

V/H/S (2012) or The ABCs of Death (2012) |
Again there's loads. |
| ๐ฅ 8mm films | Treasure of the Ninja (1987) (LB) | A Polish Vampire in Burbank (1983) (LB) or Satan War (1979) (LB) or Deadlock (2007) |
Super scuffed 8mm films that will look like Things at best, we're deep into obscure amateur hour here. See this Letterboxd list and pray its on KG. We've got Treasure on Blu-Ray. Deadlock is a 40m Finnish slasher. |
| Gloucester FGC Week ๐ฅ | Street FIghter (1994) | Tekken (2010) | There's also a 2010 King of Fighters film but does anyone care about that franchise? |
| Bad Animated Movies | Rover Dangerfield (1991) | Leo the Lion (2005) | |
| ๐ Psychotronic Family Films | Babe: Pig in the City (1998) | Robot in the Family (1994) | |
| ๐ LSD week | The Tingler (1959) | I Drink Your Blood (1970) or The Big Cube (1969) or Acid is Groovy Kill the Pigs (1993) |
The Tingler is great, other film is a bit harder. I Drink Your Blood maybe too extreme, The Big Cube maybe too dull (though this guy enjoys it)? Acid is Groovy is pure amataur scuzz. Letterboxd list of options here, including this midroll. |
| ๐ญ Shakespeare plays adapted to mid-2000s teen comedies | |||
| 6๏ธโฃ Spooky films with multiple number 6s in the name | HorrorTales.666 (2003) | 616: Paranormal Incident (2013) | HorrorTales.666 is not porn I swear. Paranormal is Simon's suggestion |
| ๐ Rat week 2 | MouseHunt (1997) | The Rats (2002) | Apparently a lot of good rat films, check the list. |
| ๐ช๐บ European shorts |
|

Loads, just search CG for a country. |
