Quoted from avspin:Blazing Saddles
Just about any Mel brooks movie would be great. Someone needs to retheme a MSF to a young Frankenstein

Agreed. History of the World would be an easy one!
Quoted from John-Floyd:Pink Floyd - my #1 dream pin
- they’d prob never license it out and good luck getting Gilmour and Waters to agree on anything.
I agree with this. My biggest fear is that it wouldn't be done right. I want smoke machines,, walls crumbling and and lasers in the damn thing!
Quoted from Pwedge:It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia
2 requests:
Troll Toll mode
Sweet Dee’s iconic, “Aw goddammit you guys!” when the ball drains.
I’ve long thought Get Smart! would make a great pin theme, all the possible toys, callouts, and characters, but alas, I don’t think it will ever happen.
Quoted from onemilemore:Anchorman - callouts would be gold. Assemble the news team. Work your way to the Anchorman Brawl multiball before getting trapped in a glass case of emotion. Jazz flute. Panda Watch wizard mode. Bring it on.[quoted image]
I did not see that coming!
Jaws. Well, Stern has poster only assets…or JJP, whatever, and zero Quint, Brody or Hooper callouts.
Yup the "grails" Jaws and BTTF won't happen, too many critical assets not available to license (like Doc and Marty)
I think Harry Potter could happen but man, should that have been made a decade ago? Should have been JJP game #2
Fifth Element would be amaze-balls, you wouldn't get Bruce Willis though. Maybe his voice clips if you're lucky?
Quoted from crujones4life:The Godfather is coming from JJP supposedly...
I think that's code name for The Matrix.
It better be.
What We Do in the Shadows (series, not the movie) on Hulu (formerly FXX then FX) would be a fantastic pin. The callouts would be amazing, and the sub-modes and little hidden paths in the gameplay could be epic. If Stern didn't do it, this is EASILY in @spookycharlie's wheelhouse. But, alas, probably never to be a pin...
I made a pin adaption in the 70s, that allowed a turn and an electric light of a revolver head on a bong.
Truly, "Special when Lit"
So...a second for Cheech and Chong, or Harold and Kumar go to White Castle, with a reward.
But Ill settle for Idiocracy, or Dude Wheres my Car!
Quoted from Vino:Looks like people want 90s-00s nostalgia vs 80s so no Porky's pinball.

Can you imagine Meat multiball? It would be a all time classic.
Quoted from smokinhos:Leisure Suit Larry...
[quoted image]
Or its origin before the LSL cartoon overlay, Hot Tub Adventure.
Quoted from Pinash:GG Allin the pin.
"Jersey Jack Pinball is proud to announce......GG Allin and the Murder Junkies Pinball. Featuring such hits as Bite It Scum, I Wanna Kill You and many others that I can't list here or I would probably get banned from Pinside forever! Pre-order now!"
Quoted from gandamack:Schindler's List probably would not make such a great pin.
Came up in a prior bad pinball theme thread. Sophie's Choice and Das Boot, too.

Quoted from benheck:I think Harry Potter could happen but man, should that have been made a decade ago?
I've been saying this same thing. You know full well:
1.) if Stern does it, it will suck on pretty every level. Cheap shitty artwork, one toy. Wash rinse repeat is a proven business model *cough*
2.) If JJP gets it, it'll likely come with a Mirco chipfest edition playfield, a main toy that they think is clever (falls massively flat for HP fans) and based off of the Deathly Hallows only because they just proved that on TS4. (I'm still reeling from such a piss poor business decision to not use the full trilogy.) Imagine if Stern made Return of the King LOTR lol. /SMH
So who does that leave? NOT Spooky! CGC? Dee..... hah! American Pinball the likely winner here?
Maybe it's time to look outside the US for talent. Then the shipping kills everyone.
JK Rowling thinks pinball is gambling and has said no. For the community I am more than happy to spend a day sexually gratifying every inch of her body to change that incorrect mentality. PM me JK, I know you're here. Otherwise a non commercial build (no coin door no code for it). But is there a HUO market big enough to warrant a monstrously expensive license. Harry Potter will only surface as a Homebrew I'm afraid. Ms Rowling I will tongue your bung. At least consider it.

The thing about Harry Potter is that it's hotter than ever and really could be made anytime, like Star Wars was.
Quoted from snyper2099:A horror themed pinball about the 1812 Overture. Wait, that was done.
A pinball about a futuristic gym/spa. Nope, that was done too.
I know, a machine where the theme is body building. Made it.
How about a pinball about dancing showgirls that are actually poker cards. Darn, they made that too.
I know, a pinball about being trapped in a junkyard where you have a devil and an angel on each shoulder and you have to assemble junk to create a spaceship and battle the owner of the junkyard (Crazy Bob) in outer space. Wait, nevermind. I guess ANY THEME is possible.
Nah, most of those are original themes that don't involve licensing. That doesn't happen anymore.
Quoted from benheck:Instead of old bands, why not old shows?
A-Team
Airwolf
MASH
Knight Rider
Alf
The Facts of Life
Happy Days
Hilarious house of frightenstein (the best kids/adult early Saturday morning comedy ever)
Quoted from benheck:Fifth Element would be amaze-balls, you wouldn't get Bruce Willis though. Maybe his voice clips if you're lucky?
Have you seen his latest batch of movies .
I think getting Bruce would be the easiest part .
