The Ohio Sci-Fi and Horror Marathons

That wouldn't be a half-bad lineup! Nice work.

Would need a bit more diversity to be an actual successful annual 24-hour Columbus sci-fi marathon, but I'd settle for half of those, mixed in with some premieres and some of the other usual fare.

Thanks

Note that I am not suggesting a full line-up of slugs and worms - just a "mini-theme." If at least 3 of those movies played at the same marathon, I'd be happy!

Bring on the worms!

Well I would love to see the following films: ((As for a mini-theme my personal fave "Convict Bloodsport"))

Rollerball. I think this was two years ago, but family emergency pre-empted.
TRON
The Running Man
Gamer ((Heck why not?))
Death Race ((original and remake))

Death Race 2 is slighty better than the horrible Death Race remake. Here is some more:

Masters of the Universe
Young Sherlock Holmes
Buck Rogers televison pilot
Apollo 18 http://apollo18movie.net/
The Black Hole
Return to OZ

From the makers of The Apple American Cyborg: Steel Warrior
Death Kappa

Here is some more info abut Death Kappa.

Slither
Night of the Creeps
Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog
Black Hole
Back to the Future
Star Wars: Clone Wars
Cowboys & Aliens
Super 8
Tron
Man with the X-ray Eyes
Yog!

I want to add a request for a short, if possible this year or in the future. I saw the Oscar nominated animated shorts and one of them, The Lost Thing is definitely sci-fi and would play well with this crowd. Plus, I'd like to see it again because there are many jokes in the background and I know I didn't catch all of them on the first viewing.

One thing I miss at the Science Fiction Marathon is the short Gravity. How bad is the 16mm print? Is the print so bad that it wouldn't survived a transfer to DVD?

This looks great & something the Drexel may have a reasonable expectation of getting for the marathon- SUPER - look hilarious. Directed by the guy who did Slither.

BTW Shivers screened last year's Horror thon.

Here is some more
Gamera the original black and white filmed in scope
Forbidden World
Wizards
Fire and Ice
Robot Monster in 3D

My wish list for the 2011 sci fi marathon is:

Christmas On Mars
Killer Klowns From Outer Space
Akira
the pilot episode of Dark Angel
Deadly Spawn
Virtuosity
Space Truckers (in tribute to Dennis Hopper)
Deadly Friend
Total Recall (Get your ahss to Mars lol)
Resident Evil

Invaders From Mars

My $.02


I really like the flaming lips but could not get into Christmas on Mars.


The Hidden
They Live
The American Astronaut
Moon
Battle Royale

The Hidden
They Live
Predator

Anything else on top of those three would be fine by me.

But I'll also add

Time Bandits
A Boy and His Dog
The Man Who Fell to Earth
Infra-Man
Night of the Creeps
Slither
Mysterious Island
Any Harryhausen would be great.
Gojira
