Rollerball, it is (The 1975 version, not the remake). I think that text style became it's own font called, "Rollerball".
missphinx... Come on down!

Houston does indeed have a hockey team. The Aeros. Not that I'm much of a hockey fan myself but my dad loves all the local teams

Hudson Hawk

Those numbers look awfully futuristic in a 1970s kinda way. Rollerball?

Ohhh. James Caan's team was Houston. With a season end victory over Madrid. Good job!

War Games? Hackers? Some other random late '80's movie about computers?

(I should really stop taking shots in the dark since I don't have anything prepared)

Wow! That was easier than I thought. It was the first car I looked for on the IMCDB, based on it's looking like the one from "Christine".

Hard to believe Pulp Fiction hasn't been used, yet.

Not Ferris Bueler's Day off, however (I should have checked first) if you can identify that make of car, the imcdb has it listed :/

As for allowed movies, I just think if it has been at the movie theaters in most places it's fine, so pretty much all Disney, CG and even some anime should be fine.

Well, yeah, but there are lot's of "Straight to video" Movies, so they wouldn't be eligble by those constraints and I know of several movies that have only been seen at film festivals.

Also, according to the list we've also had "Final Fantasy: The spirits within" used, which can be considered a digital movie. What I want to know, would non TV-based cartoons be okay? Like a good majority of Disney films. Cause I've got a movie in mind for my next turn, but don't know if it'd be acceptable.

And, so as not to thread jack, and I really doubt it is, but is it Ferris Bueler's Day off?

Rogi Ocnorb · Posted: Fri May 11, 2007 4:31 am

We've kept pretty well within the original constraints.

Totally awesome.

Hehe, got that right. I was surprised to see it hadn't been used yet.

Oh, for future reference, and anyone can answer this.
Are cartoons like Disney films okay for use here?
Or just live action and the like?
Or is anything that can be found on DVD available?

Man, I've been meaning to use Hudson Hawk on here for ages, it's gotta be one of my favourite movies of all time. Totally awesome.

Next.

If you guys can stand the old guy reminiscing for a sec...
We sang that song in a sixth grade play where we were in a classroom dreaming about the coming summer vacation and each kid got to be one of the animals. On opening night, I was the pig and had to peel a banana, take a bite and throw the remainder of the fruit over my shoulder and the canvas "wall". It hit the wall and bounced back into the orchestra pit. Which is when we all found out that a guitar makes for a very efficient banana slicer.
