The Ohio Sci-Fi and Horror Marathons

Figure this would be good for some discussion here...

NO Comic superhero inspired movies! Terrible.

You could make an argument against their sci-fi nature, but Heroes is basically the same thing.

No Stargate!

I'd also throw in Fifth Element as a major snub.

Here are the FILMS on the EW list:

MATRIX, BLADE RUNNER, STAR TREK II, BRAZIL, ET, ALIENS, THE THING, BACK TO THE FUTURE, TERMINATOR + T2, CHILDREN OF MEN, TOTAL RECALL, ETERNAL SUNSHINE, STARSHIP TROOPERS and GALAXY QUEST.

Just focusing on films (why mix features and TV shows?), here are my nominations for snubs that shoulda been there:

GATTACA, ROBOCOP, THE HIDDEN, BRAINSTORM, THE ABYSS, THE QUIET EARTH, STAR TREK IV (though you could cheat and just add it to II), THE FLY, IRON GIANT, MINORITY REPORT - All of which played at the Boston Marathon.

One film that hasn't played the Marathon, I'd nominate would be OPEN YOUR EYES (the original tha was remade as VANILLA SKY).
