Movie “unseen events” that would make a good movie of its own

In The Princess Brides we have the story of how Wesley became the Dredd Pirate Roberts. And the time the 6 fingered man killed a boy’s dad.

My Dinner With Darth Vader.

You know Vader has some good stories to tell, and everyone else is going to listen. And then the torture!

“They” being someone writing under an anonymous pseudonym with no connection whatsoever to Bill Waterson, who made a poor-quality 8-page “book” just to try to fleece some rubes.

Ha. Perhaps you were inspired by the line in Annie Hall about My Dinner with Andre action figures. :slight_smile:

I was not aware of that reference, but the “My dinner…” format was intentional!

The trick is getting Wallace Shawn to play every role except Vader.

In BATMAN BEGINS, Christian Bale’s first outing involved everything you’d maybe now expect: seeing little Bruce’s parents getting brutally killed right in front of him; seeing our hero, now all grown up, in his first masked meeting with Jim Gordon; and plenty of grueling training in between, as well as the public’s reaction to the debut of The Dark Knight.

But what about Adam Wezf?

The MCU Spider-Man(played by Tom Holland) never had his origin story depicted on-screen

In another Tarantino movie, Once Upon a time in Hollywood, it is strongly implied that Cliff Booth (the stuntman played by Brad Pitt) killed his wife. Tarantino’s novel of the movie confirms it.

Also, we have the famous monologue from Jaws, where Quint tells the story of the sinking of the USS Indianapolis after delivering the atomic bomb.

Simpsons Did it! Nick Cage did it!

I thought that was from Waiting for Guffman.

From The Empire Strikes back.
Princess Leia: I thought you had decided to stay.
Han Solo: Well, the bounty hunter we ran into in Ord Mantell changed my mind.

Apparently, that story was told in the Star Wars comic strip, but that’s not canon. I’d like to see what happened there.

In Season 2 of Breaking Bad, we had this scene:

While being kidnapped, and not knowing exactly what’s going on, he says "It wasn’t me, it was Ignacio. Did Lalo send you?”. At the time (even to the writers, I think), it was just a throwaway line. However, 6 years later, Better Call Saul debuted which very prominently featured two characters, Ignacio (Nacho) and Lalo.

In Waiting…, they actually show them (I’ve never seen that film, but I just saw a clip now)…but I’m almost positive the joke was first made (as a passing comment) in Annie Hall. (I could be misremembering).

I didn’t realize when I posted the video that the second part of it is a scene from Better Call Saul with those two characters.

The Toy Story universe is a dark place that needs to be explored further.

Inside Llewyn Davis: how the cat found its way home

The Muppet Movie: Sweetums’ adventures between leaving the used car lot and crashing through the screen

That can’t be right. Annie Hall came out in 1977, My Dinner With Andre in 1981. Maybe from a different Woody Allen movie?

And speaking of Annie Hall, was that the one where they lived under the roller coaster at Coney Island? I’ll bet there’s an interesting story there!

Not a movie, but a Simpsons episode: in the New York episode (I think now kinda banned because the Twin Towers played a big part), Barney one night at Moe’s is the destined driver and drives Homer and the rest of the gang home in Homer’s car. He goes missing for a few lost weeks on a bender and returns home without any memory of what happened, but it turns out that he left Homer’s car in a no-parking space just next to the Twin Towers. I’ve always wanted to know what happened to Barney in those few weeks.

Believe it or not, that was a real house:

Well, we know he gave a guest lecture at Villanova…or maybe it was a street corner.
