    I'll go with:

    Blues Brothers
    Harry Potter (Really surprised this doesn't exist)
    Three Stooges (Based on original shorts)
    Gremlins
    Michael Jackson's Thriller

    And truthfully, I WOULD have had Wizard of Oz on this list if it wasn't for Jersey Jack! I'd never think that anyone would do that theme but I'm glad it's a reality!

    #52 11 years ago

    My personal picks would be...

    1. The Matrix
    - Sentinel bash similar to the saucer in AFM.
    - It would be really cool to have the Sentinel pick up the pinball with it's tentacles.
    - Switch modes between the real world (Normal Lighting) and Matrix (Green Lighting).
    - Somewhere in there there has to be a dodge bullets toy where Neo dodges the pinball.
    - Hit the pop bumpers to charge the EMP
    - Literally the pinball machine becomes part of machine world and you have to battle it.

    2. Monty Python's Holly Grail (Older Machine)
    - Black Knight
    - Knight's Who Say Ni

    3. Harry Potter
    - I haven't really thought this one out, but there isn't a shortage of ideas.
    - I honestly think this could become a game to rival LOTR or The Simpsons.

    4. Zombieland
    - This would be my choice for a campy zombie themed machine.
    - I especially like the mix of zombie / carnival that you could have going on.

    5. Twilight
    - Just kidding

    #53 11 years ago

    I'd have to go with:

    Ghostbusters
    Shaun of the Dead
    THEM! (50's sci fi killer ant theme, yes!!)
    Harry Potter
    Toy Story

    #54 11 years ago

    Basic instinct. Have to shoot trapdoor before Sharon recrosses her legs.

    Or inception. You could have a mode within a mode within a mode within a mode

    #55 11 years ago

    Airplane

    #56 11 years ago

    Tango and Cash

    #57 11 years ago

    Fifth Element. Had all the right criteria for a Sega pin. A list actors, box office bomb, space setting. I'd actually love one of these. Huge fan of the movie.

    #58 11 years ago

    1. The Big Lebowski
    2. The Matrix
    3. Predator (wait that's being made) So I will put Up In Smoke in this spot.
    4. Pulp Fiction
    5. The Departed
    6. Scarface

    I had to go with six sorry OP.

    #59 11 years ago

    SO many good candidates mentioned in this thread, I almost cried.

    1. Jaws
    2. Zombie SOMETHING (Dawn, Shaun, Night, 28 Days, Walking Dead... whatever!)
    3. Princess Bride
    4. The Thing (YES)
    5. Blade?

    I'm not including Adventure Time, but I AM just sayin'...

    Like the Jaws Idea Haha I can just see it now a shark rising up out the pf and you got to hit him so many times tell he opens his mouth for you to shoot a ball into lol....

    #61 11 years ago
    Quoted from PorkChopExpress:

    I'm drunk and just wanted to get some other ideas so when I make a Billion I can have them all custom made. Woooooooo
    1) Big Trouble In Little China (this should need no explanation)2) Big Lebowski3) BladeRunner4) Ghostbusters5) Monty Python
    Now I left off many movies I'd like to see as pins so you guys could add some.I could make this list about 50-60 long easy! Cheers
    Pork Chop

    Ghostbusters
    Goonies
    Karate Kid
    Pee-Wee's Big Adventure
    Rad (Complete with Hell Track Wizard Mode!)

    After reading other responses, I would have to agree that The Matrix, Jaws and Die Hard deserve a spot as well.

    #62 11 years ago

    smassa, watch the trailer for True Romance.

    #63 11 years ago

    Jaws all the way

    #64 11 years ago

    How about "Little Shop Of Horrors" with that giant fucking plant?! "Feed me, Seymour!" There could be a ramp in front of the plant, and you have to hit balls up the ramp into the plant's mouth to feed it. It could talk to you & sing & dance & do all of the goofy shit that it does in the movie.

    All of my other suggestions were already listed.

    #65 11 years ago

    Top gun

    #66 11 years ago

    I have no idea why this popped into my head: The Jerk

    #67 11 years ago

    Toy Story
    Incredibles
    Cars
    Finding Nemo
    Monsters Inc

    #68 11 years ago

    How about "THEY LIVE"!

    #69 11 years ago

    I had to go with six sorry OP.

    Dude, I abide. Cheers

    How about "Little Shop Of Horrors"

    If I ever get bored with my T-rex, I'm turning it into an Audrey II. FEED ME!

    Quoted from awarner:

    Michael Jackson's Thriller

    You could see how many 7 year old boys you could sleep with - and then how many millions of points you loose when you have to pay off their parents.

    "Mommy, his pee pee was spotted like a pony..." Would be a great call out.

    #72 11 years ago

    Agree whole heartedly with Big Lebowski and pee wees big adventure, but I will try for ones not said yet:

    1. Fear and loathing in Las Vegas
    2. Time bandits
    3. The royal Tennenbaums (or Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou)
    4. Rock n Roll High school (the Ramones one, not the corey Feldman one that came later)
    5. Taxi Driver

    #73 11 years ago

    Actually know that I think about it, someone should just re-theme Taxi, and turn it into taxi driver, it Would not be tough. Translight with Travis Bickle, Jodie Foster, Harvey Kitel, cybil Shepard, Peter Boyle and Albert Brooks. Then you would just have to change the charachters on the playfield and swap out the sound -that smooth jazz needs to be a whole lot darker, and we need some good call outs "you talking to me?".

    Hey spfxted, you got the mad photoshop skills, lets see this in action!

    #74 11 years ago

    1. Ghostbusters
    2. Harry Potter (I don't want it, but others would)
    3. Matrix
    4. Evil Dead
    5. Godfather

    6. Muppets
    7. Star Wars Saga Edition (all six movies in one machine)
    8. Toy Story
    9. Robocop (for planned re-make movie)
    10. Tron (1982 movie edition)

    #75 11 years ago
    Quoted from tsveng:

    7. Star Wars Saga Edition (all six movies in one machine)

    I know there are already 3 pins with a Star Wars theme (hard to believe the Data East may be the best one IMO), but if someone did create a definative, kick ass pin with a Star Wars theme, I'd be all over this!! Unfortunately, the license would be a fortune.

    #76 11 years ago

    " Friday the 13th " ,,,,,,, Why ?? More Sequels to this movie than Star Wars ..

    #77 11 years ago

    just trying to mention a few no one else has said yet.

    1. Dukes of Hazzard (based off the tv show, just think it would be better from the tv show)
    2. Blue Thunder
    3. Die Hard

    #78 11 years ago

    love this theme and era

    #79 11 years ago
    Quoted from BLACK_ROSE:

    Great Call Bro! This is one of the few that had slipped my mind.

    #80 11 years ago

    4. Braveheart - Freedom!!
    5. Animal House - Nothing is over until we decide it's over!!!
    6. Fight Club
    7. The Princess Bride
    8. Adam West Batman TV Series

    Beavis & Butthead Do America

    #83 11 years ago

    I can't believe no one said "the Notebook" or "sisterhood of the traveling pants" (With cameo from Rudy)

    1.Freddy vs Jason
    2.Man with no name trilogy (Fistful of dollars, a few dollars more & the good, the bad & the ugly)

    4.Godzilla (Toho AKA the REAL Godzilla.. not the fake one that sega/stern did a machine for)
    5.Bruce Lee Game of Death

    You hit three of my top four, right off the bat. I would add any of the Evil Dead movies as my fourth, along with BTLC, BL and GB. BTW BTLC rules!!!! Funny thing, Pork Chop Express was my screen name on another pinball forum.
