*~*THE~NEXT~STERN*~*

https://www.thisweekinpinball.com/your-top-10-pinball-dream-themes/

Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:
Ha just read your post. You are describing the idealized version of the theme. This is Stern we are talking about. If Stern made the Goonies, it might not include movie clips or sounds. Would you still want Goonies then? Sheesh be careful what you wish for. If you think Stern’s version of Goonies would be a good pin, then I think you are a die hard Goonies fan. Fortunately Stern isn’t stupid enough to proceed on a Goonies. Die Hard on the other hand, would be golden.

Die Hard would be good but as you say about Stern, it wouldn’t be without the video and profane John McClain dialogue.

Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:
You are probably right that it can come down to the cult following. TBL has a huge one so maybe if it doesn’t bring in a lot at the box office, it can have a following and still be pertinent.
I could list my nine favorite lines from the TBL, can Goonies fans list their favorite three lines or two unforgettable things that happened? I ask because this seems an easy way to gauge the commitment of a theme’s fans. Cult films have vocal fans with lots of favorite things to say about it. I don’t think that exists here, but will shut up now and allow the critics to prove me uninformed and outdated. What is so great about Goonies and would you want to relive those moments over and over in a pinball machine?
Top Gun will attract way more people to a pinball machine because of the size of the franchise. Stern could add a Goonies dvd with every Top Gun machine, for the best of all worlds.

I was born in 82 and never even heard of Goonies until after high school. But then again I'm weird I guess. I also think it is odd that people look back and want stuff from their childhood. I loved tmnt, he man, transformers etc but couldn't ever go back and watch any of that stuff without thinking of how stupid and easily entertained I was as a kid.

Kman’s rumor is Karate Kid. I’ve brought that one up before, but it didn’t get much love from anybody. It could make for an interesting theme and a good pin, but I don’t think Stern will actually be doing it. Quality rumors are hard to find.

List looks fine to me. All look like they'd be fun themes to play but nothing that would be a must to own for me.
Elvira's House of Horrors was irresistible. Also tempting to me would be The Legend of Zelda or The Rocketeer.

I heard at the York show it was Pink Floyd! First I've heard that rumor. I would actually consider a Karate Kid just because I'm a big fan of the movie. I'm not sure how well it translates to a pinball machine. I'd rather have a Back to the Future or Transformers 1984. My daughter and wife both said we would be buying a Stranger Things pin if they made one. I don't see that being the dream theme that was talked about.

If it’s a music theme it’s Led Zepp, whoever said a Pink Floyd had to have misspoken. Never heard that one in the mix.

Beatles wasn't a hit with pinheads but I heard it sold pretty good, so expect same kind of selling model.

Speaking of dated... Led Zeppelin.
