The only one I am doubting at the moment is subbing out Donkey Kong '94 for Pac-Man Championship Edition DX.

(I didn't know if folks still wanted to continue, but yeah, let's keep it up)

Today's genre/category is: Adventure Movies



What six adventure movies do you choose for your communal doomsday bunker?

Are you favoring a classic, defining film in the genre or something you know a group of folks can enjoy year after year? Are you going to try to split up your picks by leading actor or director, or will your list be defined by franchises?

I'll give a heads up that fantasy & superheroes films will be given their own separate days, so don't feel pressured to have to include any of them here.

Jokerman

1. Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade (1989)
The epitome of what an adventure movie is to me. Harrison Ford is firing on all cylinders, and the interplay with Sean Connery is superb. The tank scene is one of my all-time favorites in any movie.

2. Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)
I know this is probably seen more as an Action movie, but I would classify it as an adventure movie, as it's less about the spectacle then the story to me. Probably one of my favorite movies of all time, Fury road effortlessly takes what made Mad Max 1 & 2 and made it new in the best way. Can you really say you've driven through Atlanta Traffic without screaming "WITNESS ME!"

3. The Rocketeer (1991)
This movie cemented my love of Aviation, punching Nazis, movies, and Jennifer Connolly. I can't think of a more formative film to my young mind and DISNEY WHY WONT YOU REBOOT THIS FUCKING MOVIE! IT'D BE AN EXCUSE TO PRINT MONEY!

4. True Grit (2010)
The Cohens can do no wrong in my eyes, but I was nervous when I heard they were remaking one of the most iconic westerns. But this was no slouch, they brought a realness and a roughness to the original, and imbued it with just a tinge of humor in all the right places.

5. Planes, Trains & Automobiles (1987)
This is a movie I watch every Thanksgiving, but in all honesty, it's a good movie for any season. John Candy is just swallowing every moment he's on screen without even chewing.
You feel Steve Martin's honest exasperation but you can't help but root for the shlummy Candy.

6. The Goonies (1985)
Confession time: I didn't see The Goonies until I was a teenager. I know a lot of people think it's just 80's schlock but god help me, I think it's a fantastic movie. Gun to my head, I'm picking a movie to watch when I'm at home sick, sipping some chicken broth and sprite, it's gonne be the goonies.

Here are my choices for my six adventure films:

#1. Big Trouble in Little China
- Director(s): John Carpenter

- Summary: A rough-and-tumble trucker helps rescue his friend's fiancée from an ancient sorcerer in a supernatural battle beneath Chinatown.

#2. The Mask of Zorro

- Year: 1998
- Runtime: 136 minutes
- Summary: A young thief, seeking revenge for the death of his brother, is trained by the once great, but aged Zorro, who also pursues vengeance of his own.

#3. The Mummy
- Director(s): Stephen Sommers
- Year: 1999
- Runtime: 124 minutes
- Summary: At an archaeological dig in the ancient city of Hamunaptra, an American serving in the French Foreign Legion accidentally awakens a mummy who begins to wreak havoc as he searches for the reincarnation of his long-lost love.

#4. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
- Director(s): Gore Verbinski
- Year: 2003
- Runtime: 143 minutes
- Summary: Blacksmith Will Turner teams up with eccentric pirate "Captain" Jack Sparrow to save his love, the governor's daughter, from Jack's former pirate allies, who are now undead.

#5. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
- Director(s): Edgar Wright
- Year: 2010
- Runtime: 112 minutes
- Summary: In a magically realistic version of Toronto, a young man must defeat his new girlfriend's seven evil exes one by one in order to win her heart.

#6. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
- Director(s): Guy Ritchie
- Year: 2011
- Runtime: 129 minutes
- Summary: Detective Sherlock Holmes is on the trail of criminal mastermind Professor Moriarty, who is carrying out a string of random crimes across Europe.

FUCK I forgot about Big Trouble in Little China. What a great choice.

Sorce

I'm going to cheat a little.

1.-3. Bill and Ted Trilogy. A couple bad lines aside these movies are great, funny, and the world gets saved in more ways than one.

4. The Phantom. Blly Zane as a pulp superhero, come on.

5. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. This is my favorite one in the series, and everyone plays very well off each other. Plus the stuff with the Grail at the end is awesome.

6. Jumanji. A board game takes over a town and some kids have to play through to save it? Sign me up.

Today's genre/category is: Comedic Sitcom TV Shows



What six comedic sitcom TV shows do you choose for your communal doomsday bunker?

Are you leaning towards something with hefty weight (say, Cheers) or a critical darling that while shorter may have value in repeated viewings over the years (eg: The Good Place)? Are you going to try to split up your picks by decade, or will your list be entirely 90's sitcoms?

The Simpsons
Futurama
Always Sunny
Arrested Development
What We Do In The Shadows
Curb Your Enthusiasm

It's kind of hard to feel the need to include Arrested Development and/or 30 Rock (which vie for the same position) due to, you know, Problematic Shit, but they were also so formative before I really knew that, and I feel like if you can set aside the Problematic Shit they are really fucking funny shows.

Jokerman

Is 30rock that problematic? Am I remembering it with that rose colored of glasses?

Munkus Beaver

There are bits of 30Rock that are problematic, yes.

Today's genre/category is: Pop Albums



What six pop albums do you choose for your communal doomsday bunker?

Are you leaning towards it all being 80s pop or spread it out among a variety of decades? Will all six of your choices just be Taylor Swift?

Oh man, we get 30 choices for this one? That makes it easy

Pinfeldorf

Bad - Michael Jackson
HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book 1 - Michael Jackson
Thriller - Michael Jackson
St. Elsewhere - Gnarls Barkley
Tragic Kingdom - No Doubt
Survivor - Destiny's Child

I think maybe my last two aren't technically pop, but the term seems really nebulous.
