> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Rasa \* > \*\*THX-1138, quasar 😉 \*\* Thanks Rasa. BTW, is it any good? I got it on tape but haven’t watched it yet. Somehow I have a feeling that it isn’t that good. **Thespos** and **asesmayo** All numbers count, decimal, irrational, even negative, if you can find one that includes them. Having mentioned that let me propose these two movies involving the biggest and smallest numbers: **Infinity**. About the great Richard Feynman **Zero Effect.**. And let me toss to the mix also: **12 angry men**. I believe there is a movie about the discovery of America with Gerard Deperdieu (sp?). If I am not mistaken it is named **1492** and then has some subtitle. Maybe some of you can name it. Finally, before any wise-ass comes with Episode I, PREQUELS ARE NOT ACCEPTED. ---

\*\*Damn, should have checked the thread before posting. \*\* 12 angry men and 1492 were already taken. Anyhoo, since **FairyChatMom** mentioned The Three Musketeers, how about: **The Four Musketeers** This ones might be kind of in conflict with the initial guidelines that I set: **The Naked Gun 2 1/2** and **The Naked Gun 33 1/2**. But, embracing a technicality, I mentioned that only sequels involving **Roman Numerals** don’t count, and therefore these proposals should qualify for the master list. ---

> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by quasar:_ > Thanks Rasa. BTW, is it any good? I got it on tape but haven’t watched it yet. Somehow I have a feeling that it isn’t that good. It was… different. Kind of _1984_-ish. Rigid Orwellian society, robot cops, forced drugging, this weird phone-booth holo-priest. I think sex was a capital offense, too. It was a bit tedious, but interesting. ---

48 Hours. FairychatMom, did you mean Miracle on 42nd Street If not, add that one Deep Star Six (Can’t believe I thought of that one, it reeked, but just resaw the Abyss, so it came to me.) Does Anime’ count? Megazone 23, Ranma 1/2 Yojimbo It is a number…and a name. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by quasar \* > \*\* > 20 cigarettes > \*\* I think it was 200 cigarettes. As for my contributions–Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, 54, 9 to 5, Four Wedding and Funeral, Four Rooms, and The Thirteen Most Beautiful Boys in the World (or something like that–it was an Andy Warhol movie from the '60s). I also clearly remember watching a TV movie with Kirsten Dunst called either “15 and Pregnant” or “16 and Pregnant.” Geez. . . it took me a half an hour to come with those. I hope I have at least one title that hasn’t been mentioned before. ---

> [@](#): > > \*\*Lest we forget the master: > Seventh Samurai by Akira Kurasowa \*\* The Seven Samurai. **Third Man on the Mountain**. Disney movie, one of my favorites as a kid. **Ten Who Dared**. Another Disney flick. **X-15**. **Malcolm X**. Not a sequel, unless I slept through Malcolm, Malcolm I, II, III,… VIII, IX. Just kidding. I know X is really a variable. 😉 Wasn’t there also a series of movies called **The Great Radio Broadcast of '38** and other years? IIRC, they were star-filled song-dance-comedy extravaganzas that were filmed radio broadcasts–completely staged, of course. ---

The 12 Chairs (Mel Brooks) 12 Monkeys (Terry Gilliam) The Dirty Dozen (Okay, so Robert Aldrich isn’t a big name director - it just fit in nicely with those other dodecanyms.) And an old favorite - 5 Graves to Cairo (Billy Wilder). ---
