UFO.
If my avatar isn't enough to convince you, the multitude of toys and objectives is the clincher. Intercept ooofoes, launch skydiver, mobile attack on ooofoes, wear a purple wig and hang out on moonbase, drive the diggy car from 1980, party with the hipster military of the 60s. Toy based special effects that scream for pinball recreation.
Don't let Thunderbirds sour you on the Andersons, this theme (and the show) is great.

Good call. Better acting and a bit less kitschy.
Alas, no Benedict Cumberbatch's mom -- yowza.

Don't get me wrong, but the writing on UFO was actually quite good in several of the episodes. but yeah, the show did tend to be kitschy or even a tad campy at times. But I do hope soon Shout! Factory will release UFO here on Blu ray (or even DVD). I've seen clips of the remastered episodes and they do look quite good (as well as Space 1999).

Absolutely. I especially liked the episode "Mindbender", where Straker is about to solve a problem and the director shouts "Cut". They spend the rest of the episode trying to convince him that he's just on a TV show.
And what an opening:
The show freaked me out as a kid but I'd come running every time I heard the screech at the beginning and the jazzy sequence. And then there's Gabriella Drake and Wanda and ... I'll take it to the UFO fan boy site.
Would make a heck of a pinball machine, though.
Short of an updated Back to the Future game (time is running out - pun intended)...
Beetlejuice
Jaws
Seinfeld
Sean Connery Bond Films
Caddyshack
Predator (as in the prototype machine - just mass produced so that I can get one)
I realize that most of those will probably never happen, but Beetlejuice could make a killer playfield theme as could Jaws.

One of my favorites is "The Square Triangle". Not going to give any details, but the ending is a real (and F'd up) surprise.
... Well, back to pinball. 
Bermuda Triangle
All wrong.

And then when you finish, it changes to the second movie!
Quoted from Nokoro:No brainer themes that haven't been made yet.
What about a hemispherectomy pin? Talk about a no brainer...
G.I. Joe
Thundercats
Transformers (80’s animated)
National Lampoons Vacation
Garbage Pail Kids
Saw
Poltergeist
Teen Titans Go
Justice League
Bewitched
I dream of Jeannie
Teen Wolf
Daredevil (Netflix or comic book)
Punisher (Netflix or comic book)
Die Hard (trilogy only...)
Reservoir Dogs
So many more that could work great...

Jersey Jack would do an impressive job with this theme
I would like to see a well done Futurama pin but based on Munsters and Wonka there’s no manufacturer I would trust to not half ass it . I’d rather it didn’t happen than get a half hearted attempt . Munsters hit a home Run with the cab , pf , and art imo but falls short on theme integration and immersion ( could still easily get better - hoping ) and Wonka misses the mark entirely for me .

Munsters’ art package is for sure a 10 out of 10. Game is just gorgeous.
