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.
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.
Death Race 2000

OldScratch: It’s the 400 Blows. I’ll give you your change later.
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.
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).
