@ Sid: I wasn't really intending for this thread to be a place for you to name your favorite movie, hehe. It's a concept of a movie that could theoretically steal every Oscar at the Academy Awards.

For the record, I love the Matrix (who doesn't), but to call it the greatest film in history is more than a bit much. Haven't you ever seen Citizen Kane? North by Northwest? Taxi Driver? The Shawshank Redemption? And who can forget the greatest film the history of cinema, the highest echelon of greatness that the media industry has yet to achieve, the classic epic that we all know and love... "Mother Juggs & Speed"? Bill Cosby a dope fiend? Where do I sign up!

You must also make the film in more than 4 parts, at around 3 hours each...

@ Stinky: But we need to keep them short to take the Short Film category!

@ Seppuku: That's the idea. Hollywood has been coming out with crap for the past, oh, twenty years or so, with a few shining examples of quality. This year seemed decent though, although I haven't seen the movies I wanted to see. "Crash," "Syriana," and "Good Night and Good Luck" are the only movies out worth watching... that is, until "V for Vendetta" is released, and I finish this EPIC classic.

I think I might actually film this movie, after my girlfriend and I move today and tomorrow. I think it'd be fun. My friends and I all used to make cheasy action movies with home video cameras when we were younger. There's a classic scene on one of those tapes where we filled a latex glove with raw beef and ketchup, attached it to a mannaquin, and I chopped the hand off with a katana, with "blood" and "guts" spewing everywhere. We later re-made the hand with the addition of red yarn and chicken bones to make it extra-gory, but we never got around to filming that scene because the fake hand was attacked by my dog. Classic stuff though

Okay Uwe dropped out. I'm really sorry. He said the film didn't really meet his high standards. Once again really sorry. However I did find this really low-budget film director named Peter Jackson. He made that crappy Lord of the Rings trilogy that one like so many of those academy awards. Yeah the movie won't be as high a quality but hey, you still have a director.

He has standards ?

Yes, the film was a bore - make sure he doesn't add long passages of people just walking...

oh... well then... Lord of the Rings, hands down. lol.

Sorry about that, I get what your trying to say now. I don't really know. I study the popular thematic elements of video games, not movies.

Network. I left out Network. That belongs on the list, without question.

Anyway, I've been thinking about this during my move over the weekend and I honestly think we need to make the lead character a gay guy who comes out of the closet as straight. Now THERE'S an original twist!
