What about the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory with Gene Wilder (may have already been suggested, didn't read all 8 pages of the thread.) Also: Saved, The Matrix, The Princess Bride

Movies that might make me stop at the Bonnaroo Cinema Tent for anything other than a nap:

Wow some ideas from above are great...
The Tick (live series) is great. Any other TV i can't see...unless it was a mash up of Twin Peaks and Spongebob Squarepants..a few seconds of each show wound together for like an hour...
Barfly? Great flick but definitely not at the roo. that's one of the saddest most negative movies in the world.
Fraggle rock is awesome...but only in small doses...
Course might get people to stop drinking for like two seconds...which is a good thing....
I agree with whoever said it would be dumb to show well-known movies...and do only obscure crazy things...or Blaxploitation but i guess people like to sit in a theater and repeat lines out loud, ensemble or whatever...
I think Godzilla movies would be cool authentic 50's commercials many of which are (unintentionally ) funny as hell
other stuff that is pretty to look at
Naked Lunch Basquiat (the film by Julian Schnabel) Kurosawa's Dreams The (original) Wizard of OZ any Claymation movies Cleo from 5 to 7
But i probably could stay long
The Cinema tent doesn't really work for me though...it was not cool in there last year (hot as hell actually) and so crowded that it didn't serve as any sort of place to relax and chill...
so maybe if we edited random nuts together so that you could come in just for a few minutes and see some insane juxtapositions like:
Mash ups of Andy Warhol's long winded crap with The Day The Earth Stood Still mash up of and episodes of the Mr T cartoon and Eraserhead
mash up of Natural Born Killers and vintage 70's Sesame Street
mash up of Barney on Ice and House of 1,000 Corpses
mash ups of (the original)Breathless with Four weddings and Funeral and OLD EPISODES OF THE ORIGINAL GUMBY
live or recent footage of various nuts at the 'Roo..? ...nah that's boring.
Come to think of it just like a 72 hour montage of bits and pieces in 1/48 to 20 second segments of:
porn and famous films and silly cartoons and jello wrestling and world strongest man competition and old faces of death stuff and the aforementioned 50's commercials and random scenes of ultraviolence and tranquil nuts from nature documentaries and copious amounts of nuts backwards and (non digitally ) edited footage of mundane activities like conversations shot from the ceiling looking down or into people's ears and plenty of instructional videos in various languages for out of date electronics and appliances and lectures on quantum Field theory and lots and lots of scenes of people making ice sculptures and frying eggs on sidewalks and breaking stuff with sledgehammers (no Gallagher) and eating stringy, oily foods and dancing on roofs of houses and those dumb ass contests where people make the "worlds largest pancake" or "worlds biggest spinach souffle" and plenty of close ups of stuff from electron microscopes and people doing "folk dances" from every culture and of course footage of people shooting toilets with shotguns ....
maybe with a soundtrack by Ruins and Joe Meek and Spike Jones (the long dead musician not the director) and Curtis Mayfield.
"...well yeah the guitar is good accompaniment but you can't like compose with it; I mean you can't base a whole song around the guitar." -Bob Dylan 1965
requiem for a dream, eternal sunshine of the/a(?) spotless mind, little miss unshine, lucky # slevin, pulp fiction, the I inside, drop dead gorgeous, drop dead fred, a clockwork orange..
...a few of my fav movies right off the top of my head.
other than that, i really would like to see fear and loathing in las vegas.. even though, im sure i already said that. sorry.
What's your hurry, everyone will have his day to die? If you choose to pull the trigger, should your drama prove sincere, Do it somewhere far away from here!
Sorry if someone already said this, but what about the movie that is playing RIGHT NOW on Bravo! ? I'm talking about none other than "Mommy Dearest." God, I had forgotten how damned funny this movie is... I just think it would be a perfect movie in the line of how they played "Superman 3" and "Rocky 4" (or was it 5?) last year: cult classic/camp/bad movies. Also throw in the original "The Wicker Man", maybe a "Gamera" flick (or 3), the "Cat In The Hat" with Mike Meyers, and "Ed Wood" would be a great film to watch.
If you're gonna play a John Waters movie, might as well make it either "Polyester" or "Female Troubles" because, of his good movies, those are the least offensive.

^ I guess that it's, in part, because she reminds me of the perky "spit-fire" personality that my sister dreams of having. That may sound bad but, it wouldn't if you knew my sister.
haha. I do like the offensiveness of the early movies, but I try to watch them with some of my friends and they just can't take that shit. lol, I guess that some people just aren't f*cked up enough.

best thing about the cinema tent last year, world cup 06. Sure I stood in line for almost an hour, but it was Brazil v. Australia, can't miss.
however, now that we're all doing it ... woodstock (scorcese documentary) Easy Rider The Grateful Dead Movie (i mean, why not) Rolling Kansas Almost Famous Pulp Fiction Kill Bill, all chapters Star Wars Trilogy, you know, the good ones Toy Story Spun ( a lighter requiem if you will) The Great '04 Slacker Uprising imdb.com/title/tt0850669/ Futurama, Futurama, and then some more Futurama
What's your hurry, everyone will have his day to die? If you choose to pull the trigger, should your drama prove sincere, Do it somewhere far away from here!
I think they should play the entire first or second or both seasons of Lost over an extensive period of time. I know it would take a while, and would never happen, but this would be awesome.
