Also, I agree with Futurama, Archer, Rocky Horror, Hitch Hiker's Guide(the book, not the dumb movie), Time Bandits.
The Neverending Story. You could have falcor flying around the playfeild. You could have swap of sadness multi ball and have falcor fly over the ball and save it from getting sucked under the playfeild aka swap of sadness kind of like how the tales of the arabian nights ball mech works.

Quoted from trunchbull:Max Headroom! I'd love to see a game where you assist him in taking down the modern (or retro-modern) capitalistic advertising monopoly, only to have it go gleefully too far and become a nightmare, and the only person who can stop him from utterly devastating the world is you
there was a crappy game on the c-64, but it had some interesting puzzles for it's time:
I LOVE that cyberpunk futurism stuff
Johnny Mnemonic, Lawnmower man, Blade runner, Strange days, Escape from NY, robocop, Hackers
Read them all and a lot of great ones named. Would love to see: TV series LOST, Dexter TV show, Breaking Bad, Mad Max series, Sherlock Holmes, Mission Impossible series, updated James Bond, Die Hard series, Blade Runner, Harry Potter, Battlestar Gallactica, Mobster pinball- Capone, Dillinger, Luciano, Bonnie and Clyde etc., updated BTTF
Quoted from o-din:Done!

Welcome to Chipped, everyone's favorite cooking game show! Each cooking round is a timed ball, and the better you do, the more rounds you get. At the start of a round, you're given three ingredients, which start out normal and progress to comically bizarre (round 15: all spiders), and you have to hit certain shots to make your dish correctly. As you progress, you watch your dish be cooked and assembled in the in-playfield screen via Cooking Mama-esque animations, but watch out! If you hit the wrong shots, you'll goof up. At the end of the round, your dish is presented to the judges (parodies of people like Alex Guernaschelli), and you have to stay above a certain cumulative judging score to stay in the game. For an easter egg, hit only the shots you're not supposed to and create a lethal dish! Kill all three judges to start dead judge frenzy, which scores negative points and puts you on a separate high score roster.
edit: and how about Willy Wonka? Since the musical is transferring to Broadway, that would open up a lot of options for music and freshly-recorded dialogue. It could be a progressive game - first you have to qualify and collect all five golden tickets. Each golden tickets starts a bonus scoring, e.g. every time you hit a bumper, Augustus eats another chocolate bar and his weight increases (accompanied by an appropriate DMD animation), or every time you flip the spinner Violet gets another brand deal, or every time you circle the mixing funnel Veruca's dad buys her another (increasingly ludicrous) thing, or every time you hit the side standups with the upper flipper Charlie collects another piece of garbage, etc. While doing this, you count down the clock to open the factory, build towards Wonkamania frenzy (which awards more points the closer you are to opening the factory, and becomes a post-drain bonus if you don't collect it before doing so), and collect random awards from the wheel, which is themed as a professor's high-tech gold-finding machine (if unlucky, it strikes out and grabs a gold filling from a passerby, awarding you nothing).
Once the factory gates are open, you enter and play through a chocolate room multiball before moving on to dispatching the kids. Examples: Augustus goes first, naturally, and in this hurry-up mode you build the pressure on the tube to send him up the pipe. Violet's mode is a looping shot, in which you must roll her to the juicing room before she explodes, and functions as an inverse hurry-up - the longer you take to get her there, the higher the payout, unless she explodes, in which case you only get a little bit (for what can be "scooped up"). Mike is a video mode (duh).
Also in the factory are glass elevator modes, which take you to non-kid rooms and award you bonuses and mini-modes and whatnot. This and the gold-finding random awards wheel both give you a mini wizard mode upon completion. You can ride the boat (a lightshow hurryup), light the lickable wallpaper standups (snozzberries!), and so on. When you've done away with all the kids, you enter the final wizard mode, which is where all the bonuses built up before entering the factory come into play, as well as everything else accomplished. Like LITZ, this is a timed all-ball multiball frenzy, the aim of which is to build the speed of the glass elevator, and as the balls drain you watch the animation to see how far the elevator goes ("Gee, Mr Wonka, we've gone straight to the moon!" "Never underestimate the power of chocolate, Charlie"). A high score nets you a free everlasting gobstopper (gumball), if the operator has it enabled.
"SAW" would have been a perfect fit for pinball because of all the physical traps / ideas that could have been used. The return of the TOTAN spikes would be right at home here. Combine lots of hurry-ups, Tobin Bell custom speech etc. and could have been really cool. "You want to play a game?" You could be in the game and have Tobin's call outs guide you thru the traps. And that theme song never gets old. Missed opportunity with this one.

I really hate those movies so it kinda hurts for me to admit that you're completely right, it would actually make a pretty good pinball game if done correctly.
I'm still voting for Friday the 13th though

The creators answered me already they are interested.
Don't know how I missed this cartoon but catching up now on the first season and it's absolutely genius and hilarious. This show blows simpsons and futurama out of the water, and if anyone built this pin I would HAVE to have it.
Bermuda Triangle
music pin: The Carpenters (Or do all music pins have to be screamers?)
cartoon pin: Garfield (Most people love the big orange cartoon cat.)
next JJP title: Victoria's Secret Models (To make use of that big screen.)

MadHouse a spiritual successor to FunHouse. An urban legend states that Rudy comes alive on his own once any hand is placed inside of him. The doll is sent off to a psychiatric institution since it seems to have a mind of its own and unstable at that. Explore the mental institution in hopes of finding the haunted ventriloquist doll. There will be a DMD this time. If you build it, it will sell.
