If you could make a movie ...

[Blake Noble]

What would it be?

Personally, I'd do something like a double feature, with both movies based on the original Smokey and the Bandit. One movie would be similar in spirit to the original film, but feature a different car, altered plot and storylines, and different characters. This film would be titled Eighteen (for the amount of time the truck full of Coors had to be transported across state lines in Smokey; it would also be the deadline given in this film), and the main character would have to run blocker in a black 2010 Camaro SS RS for a truck containing pounds upon pounds of illegal drugs for a drug lord in Atlanta (hell, why not have Burt Renyolds play that part?) and get it there using only backroads from Huston, Texas. The companion film would be a remake of the original movie. Somewhere in both movies, the blockers from both movies would have a run-in with each other, tying the two films together.

Either that, or I would direct a porno about f@#king in all 50 states in an RV titled Debbie f@#ks America.

It would be animated, and it would have lots of action scenes while still being deeply intellectual and thought provoking.

Mine would scare the crap out of everyone... but it wouldn't be a horror film.

Nah, probably more like paranoid conspiracy theorist bull$h!.

[David]

A conspiracy Theory movie about how the White house and politicians screw over the americans to enrichen the upper 1/10th of 1% of america.

Oops, Bush already did that.

I am sure there is a good one that could be done on Disk Chenay and Halliburton.

[cletus8269]

this thread got to politics almost as fast as word association got to sex.

[balthazar]

>>"Mine would be mostly 2 1/2 hours of car chases, shoot outs, explosions, gratuitous lesbian sex scenes and to tie it all together, Samuel L. Jackson calling someone a motherf@#ker. Really, what more do you need? "<<

Save me a center level, aisle seat and a jumbo popcorn, no butter slime !!

[Oracle of Delphi]

Porn of course ...

[ZL-1]

Somethign car-related, of course: "Jenna does the assembly line"?

[Teh Ricer Civic!]

Mine would rival The Zucker Brothers for stupidity and would probably make 20% of America feel stupider for watching it. The other 80% however will feel that it is too high brow.

Oh something heartwarming, like two friends who bond over a common love for cars, lose their girlfriends because of it, then find themselves getting closer and closer until they open their own full service restoration shop. They live upstairs in a one-bedroom apartment and makes lots of money. Edited May 23, 2009 by ocnblu

We've already got that one...it's called the evening news. Seriously, the best horror involves dread not gore...and your smart enough to make people think with a movie you'd make.

Waiting to buy popcorn and sit in the stadium seating during your movie...

The real life version of that is the Ann Arbor group of the TDI VW club. Great group of guys who share an apartment and an auto repair buisiness working on mostly diesel VW's...and automotive induced celibacy.

Again, sounds like a good movie.

Agreed with the dread v. gore. That's why The Blair Witch Project worked so well. Edited May 23, 2009 by ocnblu

Porn of course ...

Love the Solstice coupe in the sig.

I am not a fan or porn, but I'd like to make a movie with a lot of casual nudity in it. It would be fun IMHO to make a movie where the only person who doesn't get naked is the good looking blonde female.

I'm not sure Chenny was the Dick association that the rest of the posters were talking about when they talked about screwing and porn in their movie.

I would like to go the opposite direction in a movie...fantasy movie set in the whole middle ages thing where some just/good kingdom or society has to fight for their lives against some great evil or invader.

More lesbian sex scenes, of course.

66, my protagonists... aren't celibate. That fact should dawn on the audience about 2/3rds of the way through the movie in some subtle but powerful way that adds to the story.

[ocnblu]

Coed casual nudity is a fantastic idear if the actors are physically fit. Ron Jeremy need not show up to read for a part.

Save me a ticket, please! I love Sexuality used in thoughtful ways in movies.

you seen his new butter commercial?

[Justin Bimmer]

I would remake Snakes on a Plane.

Mine would be some sort of sci-fi fantasy thing and be animated.

Animated stuff is cool. My 16 year old son is really into animated stuff.

Chuck Norris would definitely have to be in it. Along with Leslie Neilson.

My movie would use car companies and racing as an analog for politics and war. Kind of like a cross between Rollerball and Grand Prix.

I've always loved the dystopia / post-collapse type movies that are all about a main character surviving and adapting to whatever is thrown at them. Two that come to mind are The Stand and The Postman (I know the Postman had horrible reviews, but I really liked that movie anyway).

I would love to see another Stand-type movie except modernized and without some of the cheesy elements in the story. Years ago there was some anonymous guy by the name of John Titor that used to post on a bulletin board claiming to be a time traveler from the year 2037. While it was all basically debunked later on, he crafted a captivating, believable story about the collapse of the US through government corruption, civil war and nuclear attack between 2007 and 2012, and the rise of smaller, independent city-states that had to basically rebuild civilization. I always thought that would make a neat movie.
