Quoted from Russell:Here's a list I compiled of themes I'd find interesting. Some of these are odd and would probably sell poorly and be a bad business decision for Stern. But I'd happily put any of these in my basement.
Generally, I see these as current classics, cult classics, and things that will age well.
Blade Runner, original
Tron, original
Monty Python (MM, I know)
Fight Club
Archer
Clerks
Pulp Fiction, Reservoir dogs or maybe Quentin Tarantino overall?
Evil Dead / Army of Darkness
Shaun of the Dead
Princess Bride
SNL
Office Space
Mr. Robot
Portal
LED Zeppelin
Beatles
Bob Marley
Bob Dylan
Grateful Dead
Alfred Hitchcock
Ex machina
Albert Brooks movies
Beastie Boys
These are probably too bizarre, but I'll include these here just for me:
Avett Brothers
Blues, King Biscuit Flour Hour
Deathrace 2000
Raising Arizona
Frank Lloyd Wright
Tesla
Stanley Kubrick
Spaced
Vincent Van Gogh
Mystery Science Theater 3000
Standup comedy, not sure how this would work in pinball, but my favorites are: Andy Kaufman, Reggie Watts, Sarah Silverman, Mitch Hedberg, Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Bo Burnham, Eddie Izzard
There are so many good ideas here and elsewhere in this thread. For me, the stand-out nonmusical title on your list is Alfred Hitchcock. There's so much quality character and mystery-thriller storyline material from which to draw, e.g. Rear Window, Vertigo, The Birds, North by Northwest, Psycho, Marnie, Dial M for Murder, The Lady Vanishes, The Man Who Knew Too Much, Torn Curtain, Spellbound, The Wrong Man.
As for musical titles, while I would prefer The Beatles to most other bands, I must admit that one musical title among your listed themes is a natural for a certain pinball lighting. . .LED Zeppelin. . .not to mention a stairway to heaven ramp.
Quoted from Otaku:I guess you mean besides the machine Tommy?
IMO, Tommy doesn't count. It was based on the 90s musical, not really the band or the album. It kinda sidesteps the whole idea.
Themes I would like-
Hendrix
Death Wish
Fast and Furious
Dead Kennedys
Planet of the Apes
Civil War
Social Distortion
and of course...
Hardbodies
Quoted from mbaumle:Portal would be fun.
Zelda would be fantastic.
Uncharted or Tomb Raider would be way cool.
Literally any video game theme. Considering the gaming industry is far larger than the film industry, I'm really surprised Stern (or others) haven't attempted to license one.
They did -> Roller Coaster Tycoon. It didn't sell very well.
Forgot to add a few horror/gore titles, would be great to get a hard R rated pin out
SAW franchise - all that gore in HD on an lcd yes please!
Halloween - had hoped RZ was going to be RZ Halloween that would have been sweet.
Scream - franchise rejuvenated horror and reinvented the slasher genre, they even managed to put a spin on remakes/reboots with Scream 4, great franchise that would be great with some pin love.
Quoted from Hazoff:Japanamation films
Oh my god. People still call it THAT?!!?
ZZ Top
Beastie Boys
Public Enemy
Rammstein
QoTSa
Foo Fighters
SAW
Interstellar
2001: a space odyssey
Cube
Pulp Fiction
28 days later
Léon (the professional)
Wargames
Stranger things
Breaking bad
Command & Conquer: red alert
Clash royale
...
Quoted from Rush1169:The Matrix
I am still amazed this never got made into a production pin, the film was huge! Hopefully Keanu doesn't get ignored again a John Wick pin would be badass, surprised how good those movies where loads of cool footage and potential for modes.
Quoted from J85M:I am still amazed this never got made into a production pin, the film was huge!
Bad timing. The film came out in mid 1999, right when Williams was closing up shop. They bet on the wrong horse: SWE1 instead of "The Matrix," which of course took SWE1 to school.

I was only about 12 when SWep1 came out and I remember its release, but that's downright upsetting to think they went with SW over the Matrix, the Matrix in pin2000 would have been pretty sweet, would love to see one of the current manufacturers bring out a Matrix pin, I know I would be in line for it, providing it had 2 shooter lanes - blue and red 
Movies:
Man of Steel (or anything Superman! I cannot believe a new Supes pin hasn't been made yet)
Harry Potter
Princess Bride
Goonies
Ninja Scroll
Akira
Guardians of the Galaxy
Predator
Monty Python (Holy Grail)
Dumb and Dumber
Neverending Story
Video Games:
Doom
Metroid
Shadow of the Colossus
Bands:
Nine Inch Nails
U2
Queen
General original themes:
Space/galaxy/universe
The ocean
I pretty much think JJP would do all of these better than anyone else.
The Police would be an awesome theme. Several cool songs could make nice missions
- ghosts in the Machine
- synchronicity
- every breath you take
- Roxanne
- tea in the Sahara
- Message in a bottle
- King of pain
Quoted from Rush1169:The Matrix, I know. . .
The Bible, I know. . .
We were just talking "Bible Ball, The Old Testament", then "Bible Ball, Revelations"the four horseman to be specific.
Just a few minor tweaks from the previous topic:
Western
I really like the idea of playing a bandit and using your score to represent your bounty. Basically you are playing as the villain trying to increase the price on your head. Use the camera like they have on Dialed In to take your mugshot and put it onto a wanted poster for the high scores.
King Arthur
So much open source material: Excalibur, Lady of the Lake, Merlin, Knights of the Round Table, Dragons, Holy Grail, Castles, etc.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Very similar to the above, but more of a gag.
Steam Punk / Alternative History
I think something with Nikola Tesla could be pretty damn cool.
Zombieland
I know many are sick of zombies, but in my opinion this would have been the best pinball machine: Campy, Kill of the Week, Woodie Harrelson, Bill Murray, Emma Stone, Pacific Playland, etc.
Scooby Doo
I think it has appeal with adults and kids. Something with fun interactive monster toys like Monster Bash.
Star Wars
Would love to see something epic, a la Lord of the Rings.
The Matrix
Man vs Machine, plus I really want to have an out of control Sentinel attack multiball that emulates the Battle of Zion.
Fables / Brothers Grimm
A mashup of the open source fairy tails.
Pandemic
Battle to save the world from disease outbreaks.
King of Tokyo
This would be my choice for your "giant beats" theme. It's a bit more colorful then what I think of with Godzilla or King Kong.
Harry Potter
Seems like a no brainer for a company like JJP. I'm assuming is a licensing nightmare.
The Goonies
CW's The Flash
Weird Science
Knight Rider (classic 80's) - KITT call outs
The A-Team (classic 80's) - Mr. T call outs
Mission Impossible (modern) - Tom Cruise call outs
Michael Jackson / Moonwalker
1980's music themed
Vietnam War themed
My top five dream pins are as follows: (It changes every year - but these seem to be the recurring ones in my imagination)
1. Battlestar Galactica (70's original or 2003 version - both are classics)
2. The Last Starfighter
3. Blazing Saddles
4. Gremlins
5. Wall-E
Quoted from mbaumle:Portal would be fun.
Zelda would be fantastic.
Uncharted or Tomb Raider would be way cool.
Literally any video game theme. Considering the gaming industry is far larger than the film industry, I'm really surprised Stern (or others) haven't attempted to license one.
I would love a Castlevania pin. Especially based of Symphony of the night....
Quoted from Russell:Ex machina
This made me think how cool it would be to have a pin based off of the Cafe Racer style motorcycle, and the culture of artwork like Deus does for their motorcycles. http://deuscustoms.com/ Crudely hand drawn, beautifully hand-lettered designs.
