From my favorite christmas movie. :D

[n3wt]

Im late joining this week so this is my choice for this week.

[nebbit]

Awww cute :yup:

[WBadger]

Awww cute :yup:

Or so you think....

[karibou]

We already watched Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v235/bou/rudolph.jpg

This week, we'll cover How the Grinch Stole Christmas...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v235/bou/grinch01.jpg

...and Lady and the Tramp.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v235/bou/LadyTramp04.jpg

After all that sweet, sugary spirit, I should be primed for a few grisly, gruesome murder flix.

Merry Christmas Mofos!

[Caitlyn]

I just realized I'm up next on this... hmmm.... decisions... decisions...

[martian leader]

I just realized I'm up next on this... hmmm.... decisions... decisions...


What ever you pick i'll pick mine when i'm sober. :p:sick:

[nebbit]

I just realized I'm up next on this... hmmm.... decisions... decisions...
I found it hard the 2nd time around as there have been so many good ones already taken :yup:

[beelzebubbles]

You could pick New Year's Eve! Hint, hint.

[Caitlyn]

I thought about New Years BB... but decided to go with one of my favorite movie genres instead... so the theme this week is:

WESTERNS

and I hope you all have some fun with it without flooding the boards with John Wayne... who, I, personally, do not care for at all.... :nope:


I'm going with Ellen from The Quick and the Dead for now...


We haven't done Westerns yet have we?

[Classicqueen13]

My favorite Western character:
http://images.google.com/url?source=imgres&ct=img&q=http://i.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01202/butch-cassidy-paul_1202903c.jpg&usg=AFQjCNHLVhSxJm6EYU_Ehp0jcGx1k4cVng

I may switch it up later...

[Miss Vicky]

http://www.angelfire.com/music6/walteregan/MoFoPics/yuma1.jpg


Nice theme. Nice avatar choice, too. I love The Quick and the Dead.

Decided to go with the other Crowe Western though. Funny how similar his two characters are. One's an outlaw turned preacher, the other's an outlaw who likes to quote the Bible and both spend most of their respective movies in chains.

[Ðèstîñy]

We haven't done Westerns yet have we?

Nope, and when I'm up to it, I'm going to alter the way that "Already used", and "Who's next" list is made.

Nice theme!

[mark f]

Little Big Man

[7thson]

Not as hot as the summer of '88 when the chickens laid fried eggs and the babies cried sawdust.




Love Westerns I do , yup.

[Classicqueen13]

Cool idea 7thson! I remember that one!

[beelzebubbles]

http://www.movie-film-review.com/files/images/filmimages/littlebigman.jpg
Little Big Man

Your awful well growed for a boy! ;)

[jrs]

Got mine.... A pic from 1903's The Great Train Robbery. America’s first western movie.

http://i48.tinypic.com/1zz6wdx.jpg

[beelzebubbles]

Tombstone
http://petticoatsandpistols.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/tombstone.jpg

I'm not a big fan of the western. A lot of the western movies I find people raving about leave me cold but I saw this one the other night and I really liked it.

[nebbit]

Ok I'm in :yup:

[Classicqueen13]

I'm loving this theme! Lots of great ones!

[WBadger]

Easy choice for me here...

http://bowlofpork.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/butch_cassidy_and_the_sundance_kid.jpg

[Classicqueen13]

I like it, Badger ;)

[eMilee]

got mine for the first of the week... i am so shameless!! i love this movie

http://www.joplinglobeonline.com/blogs/scott_blog/images/terroroftinytown.jpg

[honeykid]

I don't like westerns, but I'm loving the theme as I can Drew it up. Thanks, Caitlyn. :cool:

[sarah f]

I'm going with Glenn Ford in 3:10 to Yuma because I've always really liked him in that movie.
http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t203/bejmaf/310toyuma_dvd_glenn_ford-1.jpg

[Iroquois]

Excellent, excellent theme - I think for the time being I'll go with Dead Man.

[Caitlyn]

Lovin' all the choices guys! :cool:


At first glance I thought that was Kevin Costner in jrs avatar... anyone else think he and Justus Barnes favor a wee bit?

[Mrs. Darcy]

I'll use My Darling Clementine.

[Thursday Next]

Not a big Western fan, I have to admit. My pic is from Bad Girls which is probably a dreadful movie but when I was 12 I thought it was brilliant.

http://www.mylifetime.com/files/imagecache/photo_gallery_featured/files/images/e-gall-badgirls-395x298.jpg

[B-card]

Just like Thursday not a big fan but to contribute

http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2007/09/06/arts/07yuma-600.jpg

[honeykid]

Not a big Western fan, I have to admit. My pic is from Bad Girls which is probably a dreadful movie...

Thursday, Drew Barrymore is topless in that film. How could it possibly be bad? ;)

[n3wt]

Here is my choice for this weeks theme, John Wayne in Cowboys, on of my favorite Westerns.

http://assets0.corrections.com/system/article/image/20695/0219cowboys.jpg

[Iroquois]

Someone had to go with The Wild Bunch.

[Caitlyn]

Someone had to go with The Wild Bunch.


Holden pretty much goes with them all the time... :D

Speaking of him... I don't remember seeing him on for a few days...

[Iroquois]

Good, he probably won't chew me out for ripping him off (note the usertitle...;D)

[Caitlyn]

I just checked and he was on yesterday... so... your arse may not be too safe... :D

[Iroquois]

We'll see about that.

[Caitlyn]

Better remember he's packin' in his avatar... :p

[Ðèstîñy]

Speaking of him... I don't remember seeing him on for a few days...

Home for the holidays, usually.

So I don't count anymore? And New Year's Week is out too?

[martian leader]

So I don't count anymore? And New Year's Week is out too?


:(


Cheer up!


http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn107/martianleader1/christinearnie4a.jpg

[Iroquois]

My turn?

Crap, I've gone blank.

[Iroquois]

Okay, I've got one.

#1 Movies

http://plainview.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/ca95blues-brothers-posters.jpg

By #1 Movie, I mean your #1 favourite movie ever. No matter how many you claim to love equally, to quote Highlander there can be only one. Pick that one.

[Caitlyn]

Iroquois - Total posts 10,195
mark f - Total posts 10,955


So I don't count anymore? And New Year's Week is out too?


Yes, of course you count... last time I checked the numbers, Iro was up next... so... you've been busy... :D :up:

Since Iro already posted a theme... would you okay with going next week?

[WBadger]

I was actually conidering picking this theme when it was my turn, and I really like the choice, Iro. Mostly because it reflects that user's film interests.

However, I think I am going to split my week avatars because I have a tie for first place that I haven't really resolved yet, but here will be my choices.

First Half:

http://moviechutzpah.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/rear-window-camera.jpg

Second Half:

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-nmpEaAYNWA/SejoZ11tKRI/AAAAAAAABb8/shK6ZUilkaU/s400/conversation.jpg

[Ðèstîñy]

So I don't count anymore? And New Year's Week is out too?

You left the game, and announced that, so I removed you from the list. This is exactly why I kept stressing for people to look HERE (http://www.movieforums.com/community/showthread.php?t=19298)! If you don't see your name on the list, PM or profile comment me. Let me know. Ask me to remove or add you to it.

I never said anything about a New Years week, so if that was something else that was truly wanted, it needed to be brought to my attention.

[Miss Vicky]

I'm a bit sad to remove Ben Wade from my avatar, but I do quite like this new theme.

And my choice is Quills. I love everything about this movie. The lush costumes and sets, the plot and dialogue that is at once heartbreaking, hilarious and oh so sexy. Plus it boasts an amazing cast, including Joaquin Phoenix at his absolute best - both in terms of performance and, well, let's just say that if real priests looked as incredible as he does in this movie, I'd be attending church every Sunday.

http://www.mediacircus.net/quills____2.jpg

[nebbit]

I have to split mine also :goof:

This is so hard :mad: I have chosen 2 of my best guilty pleasures :eek:

http://www.utoronto.ca/stmikes/kelly/images/somelikehot.jpg

http://i34.tinypic.com/2rpa4as.jpg

[7thson]

Got mine - ;)

[Classicqueen13]

Raiders of the Lost Ark

[WBadger]

Well, gee, thanks for spoiling the end to the Royal 100.

[honeykid]

AARRGGGHHH!! I genuinely don't know what it is. Errmmmm... I'll have to try and come up with something for you.

[Classicqueen13]

Well, gee, thanks for spoiling the end to the Royal 100.

I'd thought of that. At least the Top 10 should stay surprising. :eek: But I kinda thought everyone already knew this one

[WBadger]

I know, I was just kidding. :)

[Mrs. Darcy]

Pride and Prejudice (2005)

[honeykid]

A slight cheat here. I really, honestly, can't come up with my favourite film (I've been trying for my top 100 and I've still not done the #1) so I'm putting up my #1 Drew film, which is Charlie's Angels.

[Iroquois]

Damn, you do realise that this whole theme was just an elaborate ruse to get you to cough it up, right?

Hehe, I'm just kidding (or am I?)

[nebbit]

Damn, you do realise that this whole theme was just an elaborate ruse to get you to cough it up, right?
Cough up what http://bestsmileys.com/puking/2.gif

[Classicqueen13]

Okay, so I like this avatar SOOO much better. :yup: BTW I love your pick, nebbit. Very nice :yup:

[honeykid]

I think that's a better avatar too, CQ. :yup:

[Ðèstîñy]

Halloween (1978)

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41l0xI-Az%2BL._SS500_.jpg

[WBadger]

Wrong theme. :p

[honeykid]

Why? That's Destiny's favourite film.

[WBadger]

It was a joke because we had Halloween week already. That didn't work out well.

[eMilee]

no surprise here with my #1 choice. its so hard to pick for tonite's choice. but i took this picture at the Oz Museum in Wamego, Kansas. the dolls were on order from the Warner Bros store in NYC and they were in the store on 9-11.. they survived the bombing. this week will be fun for me to see what everyone picks for their avatars
http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff118/MfromOz74/ColoradoTrip09043.jpg

[beelzebubbles]

Thanks for the reminder eMilee. I hope you and Kevin are having a wonderful week.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0-um0pHTAg&feature=related

[Iroquois]

Cough up what http://bestsmileys.com/puking/2.gif

His favourite movie, obviously. Guy's never named it in all the years he's been on here.

[Ðèstîñy]

It was a joke because we had Halloween week already. That didn't work out well.

No worries. I got it. I had the same thought, actually. I felt as though I was going in reverse. Although I made this avatar last Halloween (2008). I didn't make it this year. This year I made squat. I keep saying this year, but we all know I mean 2009.

[honeykid]

It was a joke because we had Halloween week already. That didn't work out well.

Sorry about that WB, it went completely over my head. :D At least Destiny got it.

[martian leader]

so what's the theme?

[beelzebubbles]

so what's the theme?

Don't worry, hon. You are already participating by default.

[martian leader]

Don't worry, hon. You are already participating by default.

Really? So its favorite movies then. WOW I asked for this theme on another forum but didn't get it. Never thought it would be chosen here. :laugh:

[honeykid]

Is this the first time that ML's actually had the right avatar for a theme? :D

[martian leader]

Is this the first time that ML's actually had the right avatar for a theme? :D


I think so and I wasn't even trying.

[jrs]

Chose mine :cool:



http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd184/jason_1973/Posters/back_to_the_future.jpg

[TheUsualSuspect]

Even though I have Pulp Fiction listed as my number one film, The Evil Dead is one that speaks to me more.

[nebbit]

Have to include the Dude :yup:

[Iroquois]

Even though I have Pulp Fiction listed as my number one film, The Evil Dead is one that speaks to me more.

Yet your avatar's from Evil Dead II, but I can let it slide for all its Campbelly goodness.

[TheUsualSuspect]

Either or, both are amazing!!!

and you know that.

[eMilee]

new one for this week... hey hk!!! i know u are an oz hater but its ok!! maybe one day i will break u!!!

http://imagecache5.art.com/p/LRG/22/2250/O4ZZD00Z/the-wizard-of-oz.jpg

[honeykid]

Honey, I don't think I'll ever break when it comes to Oz. :nope:

[WBadger]

Switched.

[nebbit]

Wow this is a hard one :eek: my best movie changes depending on my feelings each day :dizzy:

[beelzebubbles]

Nebs, is that from Strictly Ballroom?

[nebbit]

Nebs, is that from Strictly Ballroom?
:yup:

[Caitlyn]

I went with an avatar from The Last of the Mohicans the first part of the theme... but they didn't really "fit" somehow... so now I'm going with an avatar from Underworld ... which is one of my guilty pleasure movies... not sure it's my number one but it's in the top ten...

[beelzebubbles]

I thought I would go for a mid-week change up with a poster from the Wizard of Oz.

Click here for a better view.

[eMilee]

had to change to something new for this week...

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EQXPQvxgn9A/SIQsm7ifRYI/AAAAAAAADTU/6IR2ujMjCGM/s320/WizardOfOzLPFront.JPG

[beelzebubbles]

Who's up next? Mark F?

[nebbit]

This has been a very stressful week http://bestsmileys.com/anxious/3.gif trying to stick to only one favourite movie :dizzy: couldn't do it :bawling:

[Caitlyn]

Who's up next? Mark F?



Yes, he's still in... so go for it Mark... I'm curious to see what your pick is this week... :)

[mark f]

This week's theme is Fave Movie Vehicles. These can include any forms of cars, trains, boats, planes, spaceships, etc (basically any kind of machine which can be used to transport a being).

I'm going with Quint's boat Orca from Jaws.

http://www.buzzybean.com/jaws/jaws_amityrevisited/air_74_orca_1.jpg

[beelzebubbles]

My prediction is we see a lot of Millenium Falcons.

[mark f]

I would hope that we can get more creative than that. My first thought was actually this:
http://www.hotrodplanet.com/images/american_graffiti_poster_ek98.bmp

[Caitlyn]

Cool idea... and one I'm going to have to think about a bit... :D

[Miss Vicky]

My initial thought was to choose Herbie, but I see he's already in use.
So I'm going with Fillmore instead.

http://route66thequest.com/Images/21auto-filmore650.jpg

[beelzebubbles]

Awww, he's cute!

I went with Herbie, a childhood favorite.

[martian leader]

YES! I get to do Christine herself! :D :yup:

[beelzebubbles]

I was thinking of doing Christine but I am just not that mean. :D

[martian leader]

I was thinking of doing Christine but I am just not that mean. :D

Thats Ok. I can always do her when its my turn. :) :yup: Mine is up. ;)


I am still able to do this right?

[beelzebubbles]

Martian Leader let Destiny know if you want to be put into the mix. Also you have to participate in other people's themes. It's part of the fun.

Here's a 'hot' pic of Christine.

http://www.killyourdarlingsjournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Christine.jpg

[nebbit]

Ok got my first one :yup: concentrating on movies with bikes in them :yup:

[jrs]

Got mine :D


http://agnewsmind.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/back_to_the_future_part_ii_large_01.jpg

[Mrs. Darcy]

I'm going with the submersible from The Life Aquatic.

[Classicqueen13]

Interesting choice, mark!! Here's my first idea:

http://lb3111.k12.sd.us/event/titanic-ship.gif

[WBadger]

I am choosing the spaceship from one of my favorite movies....

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EuhWARQzrUY/SdB-qi6TbyI/AAAAAAAABH4/hnImv39--8s/s400/2001-a-space-odyssey-4-1024.jpg

[Caitlyn]

Going with the Ducati for now...

http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh39/midlman/Ducati%20998%20Matrix%20Edition/Ducati_Trinity_2.jpg

[martian leader]

Say do you have to participate in every theme? Just asking. What if there is one you don't want to do. Just want to make sure. ;)

[Caitlyn]

I believe Destiny already went over all of this with you... but I guess if there was a theme you didn't want to participate in, you could ask to be excluded... of course you have to participate in order to be added... which you haven't done yet...

[martian leader]

Oh ok. Never mind then. Forget I even said anything. *SIGH* :(

Even though I did participate in last weeks theme and this one. But guess you can't see that! *SIGH* Oh don't worry not trying to sound mean or anything. :)

[Iroquois]

Interesting, this means I can use Blues Brothers two weeks in a row...

http://www.dodgepedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/blues1.jpg

Although, the Chevy Malibu is a close runner-up...

http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/3/237/4783/25592391465_large.jpg

[Classicqueen13]

My next idea was the car from Planes, Trains, and Automobiles that was burned to a crisp, but I haven't found a pic

[7thson]

nice theme, tough call.

[jrs]

Say do you have to participate in every theme?

No. Not that I am aware of. I mean, what if someone doesn't feel up to changing their avatar one week? So yeah, I don't really think everyone has to really go along with every single theme. If they want they can skip one week here or there. It's not like some major catastrophe.

[Thursday Next]

Decided to go with the iconic mini coopers from the classic Italian Job. Fun fact, the tunnel scene was actually filmed in Coventry, near where I live.

http://www.car-chat.info/wp-content/uploads/ItalianJob.jpg

[Caitlyn]

Oh ok. Never mind then. Forget I even said anything. *SIGH* :(

Even though I did participate in last weeks theme and this one. But guess you can't see that! *SIGH* Oh don't worry not trying to sound mean or anything. :)


Yes, I did notice your Christine avatar conveniently matched last week and this weeks theme... however, as I recall, you also used Christine the week before which was westerns... so, thus far, you've not really participated in the theme by choice... it's only been by chance...

[Ðèstîñy]

Say do you have to participate in every theme?

Your answer is at the bottom of this post.

Just asking.

For the 100th time.

Forget I even said anything. *SIGH* :(

You have no idea how hard I try to do this. It's tougher than it sounds.

Even though I did participate in last weeks theme and this one.

No, you lucked out.

But guess you can't see that! *SIGH* Oh don't worry not trying to sound mean or anything. :)

Sarcastic, maybe!

There are roughly 15 people ahead of you on the list. As you've been told, it's in order by post count. If you can participate in those . . . for the entire week . . . then you will get a turn. I don't see anyone else having a problem with this, so you shouldn't either.

[Ðèstîñy]

I was going to dedicate my choice to the "Movie Questions" section of the board, and go with this very popular question . . .

http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss34/MoFo-Bucket/TheWraith.jpg

http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss34/MoFo-Bucket/wraith1.jpg

Instead, I think I'll go with the handsome Tim Matheson, in Stephen King's Sometimes They Come Back . . .

http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss34/MoFo-Bucket/51GGBRDBRJL__SL500_AA240_.jpg

[eMilee]

In honor of Kevin loving Mustangs, I had to chose Eleanor from Gone in 60 Seconds!!

http://www.cargurus.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/1967-ford-mustang-eleanor-r.jpg

[honeykid]

What? She's in a car. :D:o

http://images2.fanpop.com/image/photos/8600000/Charlie-s-Angels-charlies-angels-8640578-852-480.jpg

mark, I understand this may be pushing it too far, so I am willing to replace it if you want. If it helps any though, until I saw that scene, I'd never wanted to be an inanimate object before in my life. It is, without doubt, my favourite car in film history.

[mark f]

I don't care what you put. This is for fun. Of course, one of these years you may shock me out of my chair and surprise me. :cool:

[nebbit]

I am onto my second one :)

[beelzebubbles]

I love your new choice, Nebs.

I switched to another childhood favorite, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

[7thson]

War Rocket Ajax FTW.

[Caitlyn]

I like all the old cars used in Bonnie and Clyde so am switching to one of those for now... anyone know what kind of car is in this picture? I thought at first it might be a Plymouth but I believe the grill is off to be one of those...

Looks like a Ford but I may be wrong.

[Caitlyn]

I checked around a little and I think you're right... it looks like a Ford Model A... Funny thing when I was looking at the picture I used for the avatar I noticed the other car in the background which is clearly from the 60's... :p

[sarah f]

http://www.ugo.com/movies/david-cronenberg/images/fly1.jpg

Would this count? It can be used to transport beings... And I mean the telepod of course...

Not sure if Ripley's power lifter qualifies or not but it moves Aliens from point A to point B... :p


Anywho... this week has been fun... but it's almost time for the changing of the avatars... and if I figured it right... 7thson is up next...

[Ðèstîñy]

Yes . . . 7thson, you are up next. Saturday, January the 16th. Then, unless I'm mistaken about Newt, I follow 7thson.

[TheUsualSuspect]

http://www.chickslovethecar.com/images/batmobile1.jpg

Better late than never, even if it's for a few hours.

Still can't believe no one has used this one.

[7thson]

Then, unless I'm mistaken about Newt, I follow 7thson.

I understand, I would follow myself too, if I were able. :p

[Ðèstîñy]

I understand, I would follow myself too, if I were able. :p

I bet you do like my cats when no one is looking, and chase your own tail. You do, don't you!?!

So, are you going to post it tonight, or tomorrow? Huh? Huh?

[7thson]

Wellllll, I want to post right now, but I must wait till the 2 arrows point at 12 yeah?

[Ðèstîñy]

Ah, what the hell!?! Post it. Who cares about 36 minutes, anyway?

[7thson]

WOW, I have been so torn about this pick and I am not sure why. I was gonna go with natural disaters, or Max Von Sydow, or vengence, or war, etc.... but ya know what ? I think I will be predictable, I am tired of trying to be anything else.

I love Queen & Freddie and I love Flash Gordon ~ 1980

So any Film or TV show or anything that has anything to do with these these amazing topics are a go. :)

[WBadger]

I am unfamiliar with this theme. Anybody care to explain or help?

[beelzebubbles]

Queen is a musical group.

Freddie Mercury is the lead singer of that group.

Flash Gordon is a sci fi comic book character that has also appeared in movies and television.

Basically, we are encouraged to find an avatar from a grab bag filled with 7thson's interests or obsessions.

Thanks, I could not have said it better myself. Well - unless at the end I said,
"FLASH AHHHHAHHHHHHHH!!!"

[Ðèstîñy]

I still haven't watched Flash Gordon, so I went with Queen. I'd say any movie that uses their music would work. I almost used Son In Law, but I went with Wayne's World. I still may do that later. That movie uses my favorite Queen song . . .

I've never seen it, but apparently there's this animé series called Cromartie High School that, for reasons that are currently lost to me, features appearances by Freddie Mercury. I figure, why the hell not...

I'm not very familar with either parts of this theme (Although I do like Queen's Crazy Little Thing Called Love) I, however, thought this was an appropriate choice of avatar ;)

[n3wt]

Destiny I am still in with the theme game if thats ok, I havent been online in ages but im hopefully going to be online more regular :)

I love this weeks theme, I know it is going to be changed tomorrow but Queen is an amazing band and im going to change mine asap :up:

[n3wt]

[Mrs. Darcy]

Evidently, the movie Highlander had a whole soundtrack by Queen. So, even though I haven't watched that movie, I'm using it as an avatar. Got it?

[Caitlyn]

Hmmm... predictable but a wee bit on the hard side 7thson... :D ... guess I'll go with Amanda off the Highlander Series for now... It always opened with this little number from Queen...

[Used Future]

Seeing as I love Hodges' Flash Gordon I thought I'd take part this week with one of the terminal guys from Klytus and Kala's command centre. If it looks a bit odd, that's because I've had a play with the colour balance:cool:

[Caitlyn]

I love Highlander... the original is pretty cool... but the sequels were very disappointing other than Endgames but even it would have been better suited as a Sci-Fi movie of the week like they did with the last one, The Source, instead of showing it on the big screen...

[Ðèstîñy]

Destiny I am still in with the theme game if thats ok, I havent been online in ages but im hopefully going to be online more regular :)

OK. I haven't been on much, so when I saw your Lego avatar, I thought you left the game.

I love this weeks theme, I know it is going to be changed tomorrow but Queen is an amazing band and im going to change mine asap :up:

Actually, this is day one of this theme. 7thson posted it early, although I told him to wait. :p

Seriously!

[7thson]

Looking great guys. There are really many choices out there and you do not have to be stuck with just Flash or Freddie. Here is a snippet from the ever factual ;) Wikipedia:

Film and television
Queen contributed music directly to the movies Flash Gordon (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Flash_Gordon_(film)) (1980, directed by Mike Hodges (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Mike_Hodges)) and Highlander (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Highlander_(film)) (the original 1986 film, directed by Russell Mulcahy (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Russell_Mulcahy)). The songs, "A Kind of Magic (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/A_Kind_of_Magic), "One Year of Love (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/One_Year_of_Love)", "Who Wants to Live Forever (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Who_Wants_to_Live_Forever)", "Hammer to Fall (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Hammer_to_Fall)", and the theme "Princes of the Universe (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Princes_of_the_Universe)" can be heard in the film. It was also used in the Highlander TV series (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Highlander:_The_Series) (1992–1998). "A Kind of Magic (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/A_Kind_of_Magic)" can be heard in the beginning bar scene of "Highlander 2 (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Highlander_2)".
In the United States, "Bohemian Rhapsody (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Bohemian_Rhapsody)" was re-released as a single in 1992 after appearing in Wayne's World (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Wayne%27s_World_(film)). The single subsequently reached number two on the US Billboard chart (with "The Show Must Go On (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/The_Show_Must_Go_On_(Queen_song))" as the first track on the single) and helped rekindle the band's popularity in North America.
Several films have featured their songs performed by other artists. A version of "Somebody to Love" was done by Anne Hathaway (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Anne_Hathaway_(actress)) in the 2004 film Ella Enchanted (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Ella_Enchanted_(film)). In 2006, Brittany Murphy (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Brittany_Murphy) also recorded a cover of the same song for the 2006 movie Happy Feet (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Happy_Feet). In 2001, a version of "The Show Must Go On (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/The_Show_Must_Go_On_(Queen_song))" was performed by Jim Broadbent (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Jim_Broadbent) and Nicole Kidman (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Nicole_Kidman) in the movie musical Moulin Rouge! (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Moulin_Rouge!). The closing credits of A Knight's Tale (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/A_Knight%27s_Tale_(film)) released in 2001 has a version of "We Are the Champions (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/We_Are_the_Champions)" performed by Robbie Williams (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Robbie_Williams) and Queen; the introduction to the same movie features We Will Rock You (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/We_Will_Rock_You) played by the medieval audience. In 1992, the film "Gladiator (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Gladiator_(1992_film))" featured snippets of "We Will Rock You" performed by Warrant (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Warrant_(American_band)) whereas their full version was released as a single. In 2004 "Don't Stop Me Now" was featured in the bar fight scene in the cult movie Shaun of the Dead (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Shaun_of_the_Dead), and "You're My Best Friend" played during the end credits, as well as during the 2006 film "The Break-Up".
In May 2004, The Japanese live-action version of Sailor Moon, called Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon. In Act 29: "Minako's Rival, Mio Kuroki, is a Transfer Student?", used "I Was Born To Love You" in a volleyball game scene between the shows hero Usagi Tsukino/Sailor Moon (Miyuu Sawai) and Mio Kuroki (Alisa Yuriko Durbrow) a Dark Kingdom minion and "Rival" to J-Pop Idol Minako Aino/ Sailor Venus (Ayaka Komatsu).
Keeping in the tradition (since Season Five) of naming each season's episodes after songs from a famous 1970s era rock band (Led Zeppelin (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Led_Zeppelin) for the fifth season, The Who (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/The_Who) for the sixth and The Rolling Stones (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/The_Rolling_Stones) for the seventh), the eighth and final season of That '70s Show (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/That_%2770s_Show) consisted of episodes named after Queen songs. "Bohemian Rhapsody (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Bohemian_Rhapsody_(That_%2770s_Show))" served as the season premiere.[98] (http://www.movieforums.com/community/#cite_note-97)
On 11 April 2006 Brian May and Roger Taylor appeared on the American singing contest television show American Idol (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/American_Idol). Each contestant was required to sing a Queen song during that week of the competition. Songs which appeared on the show included "Bohemian Rhapsody (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Bohemian_Rhapsody)", "Fat Bottomed Girls (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Fat_Bottomed_Girls)", "The Show Must Go On (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/The_Show_Must_Go_On_(Queen_song))", "Who Wants to Live Forever (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Who_Wants_to_Live_Forever)", and "Innuendo (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Innuendo_(song))". Brian May later criticised the show for editing specific scenes,[99] (http://www.movieforums.com/community/#cite_note-98) one which made the group's time with contestant Ace Young (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Ace_Young) look negative, despite it being the opposite.
Taylor and May again appeared on the American Idol (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/American_Idol) Season 8 finale in May 2009, performing "We Are the Champions" with finalists Adam Lambert and Kris Allen.
Al Murray's Happy Hour (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Al_Murray%27s_Happy_Hour) has a Queen theme, as it uses "Don't Stop Me Now (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Don%27t_Stop_Me_Now)" for the introduction and features guest performers along with host Al Murray (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Al_Murray) singing different Queen songs each episode. The remainder of Queen did appear at the end of a series of the show.
"I Was Born to Love You (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/I_Was_Born_to_Love_You_(song))" was used as the theme song (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Theme_song) of the Japanese drama (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Japanese_television_drama) Pride (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Pride_(TV_series)) on Fuji Television (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Fuji_Television) in 2004, starring Takuya Kimura (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Takuya_Kimura) and Yūko Takeuchi (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Y%C5%ABko_Takeuchi). The show's soundtrack also contained other songs by Queen, including "We Will Rock You (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/We_Will_Rock_You), "We Are the Champions (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/We_Are_the_Champions)" and "Bohemian Rhapsody (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/Bohemian_Rhapsody)".
The band made tentative plans to provide material for use in "The Hotel New Hampshire (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/The_Hotel_New_Hampshire_(film))" but this project was abandoned. However, "Keep Passing The Open Windows" (which is an important catch-phrase line in the movie) did survive. The Simpsons has also made storylines in which they use Queen songs such as 'You're My Best friend'.
On 15 November 2009 Brian May and Roger Taylor appeared on the singing contest television show "X Factor (http://www.movieforums.com/wiki/The_X_Factor_(UK))".[55] (http://www.movieforums.com/community/#cite_note-xfactoruk-54)

[beelzebubbles]

No offense, but I am sticking with Space Babes. I haven't had a chance to wear a pretty avatar in awhile now.

[honeykid]

Good to see some Highlander avatars. I loved that film and the tv series, as well as the brilliant song, Princes Of The Universe. One of my favourite Queen tracks.

Freddie Mercury: Kind of Magic is on LOGO.

[nebbit]

Second one :randy:

[Miss Vicky]

I had a tough time with this theme. I'm not really a fan of Queen and I've never seen Flash Gordon.

I've settled on this for now:

http://cache.gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2007/11/Freddie_Doll.jpg

It's a plastic figure of Freddie made by Necca toys. It's one of several they've done of various music icons and since I have a small collection of movie figures, as well as a Kurt Cobain figure from this series, I figured this would do.

[B-card]

I wanted to stick with my ghost avatar but maybe later

so to keep in the spirit:
http://www.bladesofgloryquotes.com/will-ferrell/will-ferrell-blades-glory.jpg

It's Queen it's Flash's theme and it's Will Ferrell from Blades of Glory :)

maybe later in the week I'll go with him as well :)

[7thson]

Hey guys thanks for putting up with my theme, I know it was a bit "limited" But I loved all the avatars. :)

I liked your theme... just wish I had had time to dig out the Highlander series and find a better shot then the ones I ran across on the net... :)


Wonder where n3wt is....

[honeykid]

Wasn't a problem with me, 7th, I still got to use a sexy woman for my avatar. Not only that, but one of my earliest crushes. ;)

n3wt's still having to log-on at his mother-in-law's, but I'd still expect him in the next day or two.

[Classicqueen13]

It was fun using the Classic Queen cover, 7thson. It was the first thing I thought of when I saw your theme.

I'm switching to temp avatar, though, till n3wt shows up.

[nebbit]

n3wtie where are you it is Monday here :yup:

[n3wt]

Sorry guys still having to log onto the net from my mother in laws and this is the first time I have had to get online in days, so if its ok you guys here is my choice...

Enjoy guys and again sorry for the delay :)

[n3wt]

[nebbit]

Got my first one :yup:

[honeykid]

Everyone seems to have chosen superb pics. :cool:

There were loads of cool choices, but I decided to go with Katherine Ross in the original Stepford Wives. It's just wrong and creepy. Simple, yet so effective.

[nebbit]

I like this theme :yup:

[Classicqueen13]

Everyone had such great pics! Sorry I missed it n3wt!

[Ðèstîñy]

Oops, I'm next. My first two ideas were "sort of" taken, but I have a new idea that I think everyone will enjoy.

EDIT*

At first, I was going to go with "Gunslingers", but then Westerns was used, so I felt like that would be too close to that choice. I know there are more, but still. That's what Westerns are all about. Anyway, then I was going to go with "Your Top Ten". Then your number one movie was named, so again, I decided to bail on that choice.

My new idea is . . .

[Ðèstîñy]

So, Who Are You? (http://www.movieforums.com/community/showthread.php?t=14632&highlight=character)

Out of all the movies you've seen, what character/which characters reminds you of you the most.

For me, I use to have her biceps, but these days I'm a little weathered. I'll fix that in time. No matter what, though, I will always have the attitude. ;)

"No . . . Have you?"

[Miss Vicky]

Must we choose a movie character or will a television character work?

[Ðèstîñy]

Yep, that was voted on way back when this got going. TV is good to go.

[jrs]

My name, Jason, means healer and the only character that seemed to come to my mind at the moment is Peter Patrelli in Heroes. :p

http://i48.tinypic.com/fnqxzk.jpg

[Miss Vicky]

Okay this was a tough one. I can't say I've ever really truly related to a movie character, but there were a couple of TV characters that came rather close:

Daria Morgendorffer

http://www.angelfire.com/music6/walteregan/MoFoPics/dariaface.jpg


Darlene Conner

http://www.litty-online.de/images/sara_5.jpg

Both of them have a biting, sarcastic wit and don't fit in well with their peers. This was something that I related to very much as a teenager (and, to a large degree, still do today) and both of these shows were on the air during that time of my life. Besides the sarcastic wit, there were other parallels: Daria's best friend was very much into art (as was my best friend) and Daria had a huge crush on a not-so-bright rocker guy (as did I). While Darlene shared a lot of my same ideals (animal rights/vegetarianism, as well as a rather open view regarding sex).

In the end, I decided to go with Daria, since I already used a Darlene avatar during the Whedon themed week.

[honeykid]

Sadly, I am in real life, the 'character' that he portrays in his programmes and, yes, it's very tiring and depressing being that angry all the time.

http://www.comedy.co.uk/images/library/comedies/180x200/c/charlie_brookers_screenwipe.jpg

[Miss Vicky]

No wonder you and I get along so well, honeykid.

[honeykid]

:laugh:

God, that's worrying, isn't it MV? :)

[Miss Vicky]

Nah, hk, I've embraced my pessimism/bitchiness.

Though I think I let the stupidity of others get to me a little too much (mostly at my job, and from coworkers and clients alike). Okay, way too much.

There are quite a few I can think of, but for the time being I'll choose Dante and Randal from Clerks.

Honourable mentions (which may still get picked) include Harold from Harold and Maude and Otto from Repo Man, although I think the Clerks will probably stick around for the rest of the week. I don't really get around to changing much.

I LOVE this theme, Des! I think I have a tie but I'm going with this one first:

My dad would say http://orpheline.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/diane-keaton-as-annie-hall11.jpg
so that's what I'm using, at least until I can think of something better.

At least for the moment, I'm going for Tina Fey's character Ms Norbury in Mean Girls

I had to go this morning before I had time to pop in and say great theme Destiny... :up:

I'll probably change several times this week... but for now, I'm going with Ripley... not that I think I'm as cool as she is by any means... but I do think I would have made some of the same choices she did... particularly where Newt was concerned...

Here is my choice for this week's theme....
