Topic: Next Month - Birthday Celebration Marathon

[addicted2dvd]

Since my birthday is the last day of May... and I have so many Birthday related TV Shows and movies... I'm thinking of having a month long marathon type thread to celebrate birthdays. Last year I did something like this for only a week... This year I am thinking the whole month. But I don't want birthday stuff be the only thing I watch for the month... so What I was thinking is every single day of the month (since I have so many) I will watch At Least 1 TV that celebrates someone's birthday. And during weekends (Fri-Sun) Watch At Least 1 movie that has something to do with birthdays.

This means I would have to watch At Least 31 Birthday TV Episodes and 12 Birthday movies.

The problem I have is there is somethings I have that I never seen before (or just don't remember) so don't know how well it will fit into this marathon. So titles below... do I keep them in or take them out for such a marathon. The birthday topic really should be a major part of the storyline to keep it in...

- Birth
- Bridget Jones Diary
- Bully
- Cinderella Man
- Gran Torino
- The Hottest State
- I Am Sam
- Marie Antoinette
- Million Dollar Baby
- Mirrors
- Ray
- Scott Pilgram vs. The World
- Slumber Party Massacre II
- Stay
- Zodiac

Searching IMDB's keyword search brought all of the above up when searched Birthday. But I either never seen it or been so long since I seen them I don't remember. I want the Birthday storyline to be at least a decent part of the storyline.

any help is appreciated.

I have only seen two of these movies. It has been awhile that I saw it, but I don't remember any birthday in "Million Dollar Baby". At least not some big storyline about it. Maybe there was a scene.
Also I recently watched "Scott Pilgram vs. The World" and also here I don't remember any birthday storyline.

You may not have it but one movie I might include would be Logan's Run...that's the movie where people aren't allowed to live once they turn 30 so your 30th birthday is definitely a major thing in that movie.  My own birthday is next month so I'm wondering what you'll be watching on that day...

Thanks Tom... appreciate it.

Roger... nope I don't have that one. If I remember right. Your birthday is around the 6th or 7th... right? That will fall on a weekend so I should be watching both a movie and a TV episode. We will have to see what comes up.

Hmm...

I know a birthday comes up in Bridget Jones' Diary, but I can't remember how big of a part it plays in the movie.
In Gran Torino the birthday part is just one or two scenes..it doesn't play a big part in the movie.
I don't remember a birthday in Zodiac.

Thanks... that is the one thing I don't like about the keyword search at IMDB.... it gives results for even the slightest mention of what you are searching for.

[Dragonfire]

That does make it difficult when you are trying to find something that plays a bigger part in a movie.

What've you got pegged so far?

[addicted2dvd]

So far I think I have these options...

- 13 Going on 30 (Birthday Wish gone wrong)
- Bloody Birthday (Birthday Horror Movie)
- Cheaper by the Dozen (A bit of a stretch... but has a hilarious big birthday party scene)
- Child's Play (Kid gets Chucky for his B'day)
- City Slickers (Trip is B'day Gift)
- Frogs (This one is marked from last year... forget... but think they go to the island for a B'day party)
- Full Frontal (Movie takes place at a Birthday Party)
- The Game (Extravagant B'day Gift)
- Happy Birthday to Me (Another B'day Horror)
- Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Finds out about himself on his birthday)
- House on Haunted Hill (Entire movie is a B'day Party)
- Identity (Birthday links many ppl together)
- Liar Liar (B'day Wish causes problems)
- The Omen (big important B'day scene)
- The Omen [remake] (big important B'day scene)
- Sabrina: The Teenage Witch [Showtime Movie] (she finds out she is a witch on her B'day)
- Tower of Terror (Answer is a spoiler)

Sure some of them are a bit of a stretch... but will have to do for this marathon.

I think the second City Slickers also has to do with the birthday of Billy Crystal's character...another trip for his next birthday or something.  Hmm...

Been so long since I seen it I don't remember... but I don't have that one anyway.

Thank You Jon! I was searching for that thread to go over... and add to it. But I couldn't find it for the life of me! The search function didn't pick it up for me for some reason.

[Najemikon]

It was Marie's message that made me search for "City Slicker birthday".

Glad to help in some way.
