Tron would make a fantastic cover. other suggestions
The Shawshank redemption
Bonnie and Clyde
The Breakfast Club
Gone Baby Gone
…And just for kicks Speed Racer
I truly admire and respect everyone who is making these covers,and if i had the talent or patience to make them myself , I would.But for now i will just Suggest films and dream of criterion DVD’s that may be someday.
This movie one is my favorite film of 08’. I was taken back with how beautiful it was and how the mood in Sweden ’ 82 set the tone for this love story perfectly. Though the first time i watched it , me and a friend of mine didn’t know that it was set in the eighties and we just made fun of Swedish culture , and how they are SOO behind the rest of the world.
In one of the first scenes in An American in Paris, Gene Kelley does his "wake up " routine , but he moves so elegantly and does many things with his feet. Not very subtle , but definitely one of my favorite snippets of all time. Always makes me smile .
Honestly , the one that sticks out in my mind is Rush hour 3. i know i shouldn’t expect much , but me and a friend went on a dare and that “score” if you can call it that, was absolutely horrid. It sounded as if ratner watched a rough draft of the film and just had a synthisizer (circa 1982) on hand and just mashed away at it as he watched the cut and felt that it would be sufficent.
I also agree with the previous posts about TWBB score,and how it added to the whole horror movie feel , i get chills everytime i hear it, same with the LOTR score.
That Boogie Nights cover reminds me of a Bruce Springsteen album cover…awesome. well done Pacheo
.Also That shining cover by NIL is my favorite of the covers by far…well done NIL
that TWBB cover shook me to the core , well done Mr. Dumont.
The idea of a Mvs.A criterion release is enticing the first Criterion movie to actually "pop out " at you.
The bully that pulls a blade on Donnie in Donnie Darko ( the one opposite Seth Rogen ) is also the lead singer of the band Phantom Planet.Probally most Famous for their song “California” used in the opening credits of “The O.C.”.
Also the little girl at the Jim Cunningham seminar that is worried about her sister’s weight is Ashley Tisdale of High School Musical fame.
Zac Efron had a bit part on FireFly as “young Simon” . …That’s all i have

Me and my buddy have always had the idea of making this article (http://www.cracked.com/article_17019_5-real-life-soldiers-who-make-rambo-look-like-pussy.html) the main basis for a really compelling film, sort of like a bio-pic, following the life and times of the # 5 guy ,Simo Haya. Look him up, a really remarkable man.
OH man!!
All these covers are so great!
GReat work by all!
Considering this forum is almost a year old,
Somebody should just try and do covers
for films that came out in the
11 months this thread has been open.
Billy Talent, before they were big. the energy spilling off that stage was sensational.
the resistance tour of MUSE, the best show i have ever seen.
Iron Maiden somewhere back in time tour
Bryan Adams was my first, so yeah
The Protomen, they had all the gutso and goforit that a huge million dollar production would have but on a miniscule budget.
Video games Live, i am not spending 85$ for a dvd of that thing.
3 inches of Blood with Evile, i had to go to the hospital, so i missed the last half of the show.
I for one really appreciated this and broke the news to my senior projectionist at my cinema and an argument ensued. “don’t tell me how to do my job!” she said. I said that i knew how to do very few of the things Terrence describes in his letter, but i would love to learn and will do my best to make sure that when my cinema receives a print of Tree of Life that it is projected the way Malick meant it to be.
In the letter Mr. malick describes that the bulb should be turned up, the aspect ratio set to a very specific 1.85:1, and that the sound be turned up to 7.5 or 7.7 ( much higher than the standard 5 or 6 ).
Now on the first subject of the bulb, earlier this month Ebert posted a letter about how many cinemas dont turn their bulbs up to even half, as the theater managers are trying to save money… though in the same article the research said that through tests the standard bulbs a cinema uses only saves 1/16 when used at low capacity.
I brought this news to my manager who is also the training projectionist, and he promptly turned down my request to change the bulbs stating that we couldn’t afford to be wrong, and that tinkering with anything is entirely out of the question.
With Sound in a cinema there is a very tricky thing, the trailers advertising products and coming features are already very loud as to get peoples attention. So naturally out of laziness and sheer distress ,as we projectionists also have to ensure that all 7 screens start on time (each being within 5 minutes of each other), the sound systems are not set to their proper settings as there is too many complaints about the cinema being too loud when a show starts. When I brought the idea of turning the sound system up to the senior projectionist she said that it would be too loud and that too many people will leave and ask for the volume to be turned down.
As a projectionist i believe that it is my duty to ensure the film is presented the way the film maker intended.
If anyone comes out of a movie claiming it is too loud, i will go up to the booth ensure that the volume has not been cranked and if it is at the standard volume setting, i will do nothing. I refuse to turn down the volume during a feature. Though there may be one person thanking me for turning it down im sure there will also be another wondering, “why did the sound all of a sudden get quieter?”, and these people will not leave and complain about the sound because they are watching the movie and trying to get into the story and immerse themselves in this experience.
Some people are too used to having a remote control in their hands, being able to control every aspect of the entertainment they are subjecting themselves to, even when to watch it with features like pause, scene selsction, and PVR’s.
The cinema should be the one place where this isn’t the case,
If it’s too loud for you, leave. maybe this isn’t the right film for you as each film has very different soundscapes.
Back to the idea of control, the other day a man showed up late for a show and he asked me if i could rewind the film. I said " no, no i cannot it’s film" and the guy blew me off going “that’s fucking stupid!”.
So I do appreciate Terrence Malick writing this letter, even if the majority of people and projectionist’s will blow it off as “fucking stupid”.
Crazy Stupid Love has the “Gay Gaze”.
The best looking thing in that movie is Ryan Gosling.
Not a bad thing, just interesting for a mainstream hollywood rom-com.

from the projectionist. almost 2 years ago
Just recently Terrence Malick submitted a public letter to all projectionist regarding how to PROPERLY project his new film, Tree of Life. here.http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/archives/terence_malick_wrote_a_letter_of_instruction_to_every_projectionist_showing/#
I for one really appreciated this and broke the news to my senior projectionist at my cinema and an argument ensued. “don’t tell me how to do my job!” she said.
