Tabonga 1,891 Member · Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) You are visiting a friend (in an undisclosed major metropolitan area) who happens to be the progamming director for the prestigious Bijou Theater. The Bijou specializes in triple features with a theme of some sort - the theme can be just about anything as long as it is not overly simplistic (such as horror night, star wars night etc. etc.) Given the large film going public in that city any films will likely fill the theater - even if fairly obscue. Your friend falls sick and is stuck in the hospital for a week so you get to fill in for them. Your task is to come up with the categories (one per night) and films - you can do a night or two if you want rather than the whole week. Let's not clutter the thread up with youtube and picture links since that will make a really long thread. A link to a brief description should do. Monday - Yippee ki yay motherf**ker! - episodes on the frontier. Unconquered https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0039931/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 The Outlaw Josey Wales https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075029/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Little Big Man https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065988/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Tuesday - Come together right now! The Seven Samurai https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047478/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 The Magnificent Seven https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054047/?ref_=fn_tt_tt_4 Battle Beyond the Stars https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080421/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Wednesday- A three hour tour? Robinson Crusoe https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0044386/?ref_=fn_tt_tt_8 The Most Dangerous Game https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0023238/?ref_=fn_tt_tt_8 Mysterious Island https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055207/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Thursday - All the world's a stage and all the men and women merely players, The Hidden https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093185/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Sleuth https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069281/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 FX https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089118/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Friday - It's the end of the world! The Road Warrior https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082694/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 A Boy and His Dog https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072730/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2 The Day https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1756799/?reallf_=fn_al_tt_3 Saturday - One by one. The Beast Must Die! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071200/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Predator https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093773/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2 And Then There Were None https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0037515/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2 Sunday - Movies we probably shouldn't be allowed to show because while they are outrageously funny someone will whine about them if all the really good parts aren't bowdlerized out of them. The Jerk https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079367/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Airplane! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080339/?ref_=fn_tt_tt_4 Blazing Saddles https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071230/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 So - get cracking - make up your schedules, start the popcorn popper and don your usher or usherette outfit (or maybe to cover all bases they should be usheroid outfits).

Link 1,810 Member · Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I have many more ideas for double features than for triples. I’m also not very clever at pithy theme names. But here’s what I’ve got.
