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
Mel 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

I like lots of these ideas. More into horror themes than video games, but there are exceptions to the rule.

I would love to see evil dead / AOD by Spooky.

I'd like to see JJP try a music pin. The video would be amazing. LZ? Beastie Boys?

I'd like to see them get away from kid-friendly themes. Toy Story? No thanks.

Btw, I meant Mel Brooks, not Albert Brooks. Oops.

Perhaps the only example of a ruined attempt at pinball worse than The Who is The Rolling Stones. Such a shame. At least Tommy is a somewhat decent game. Rolling Stones's game is nowhere near deserving of the greatness of that band.

And I think Captain Fantastic is probably a better game than Elton John deserves.

Gomez says Archer by Elwin is unlikely. That's a shame.

Yaaas!

Could the current version undergo a "vault" treatment, with major code updates to improve it? I agree, potentially great theme, but needs a lot of help.

I agree with all of these.
