Edgar Wright‘s latest epic project has him partnering with Quentin Tarantino, Judd Apatow, Joss Whedon, Bill Hader, Guillermo Del Toro, Joe Dante, Greg Mottola, Harry Knowles, Rian Johnson and, probably, several of you.
Like all of us, Wright has a bunch of classic and cult films he’s never seen. Unlike all of us, he has the means to see them for the first time on the big screen and will do just that in December at the New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles during Films Edgar Has Never Seen. The director of Shaun of the Dead and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World asked both his famous friends (some of which are listed above) and fans to send in their personal must see lists and, from those titles, Wright came up with one mega list from which he’ll pick a few movies to watch December 9-16.
After the jump check out the list and find out how to give Wright your input on what to screen.
The list first came from Wright’s blog, Edgar Wright Here, and was also featured on Ain’t It Cool News. He’s already settled on The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension to screen at midnight and, if Gone With the Wind gets picked (it should) it’ll be the only thing that screens that night. Other than that, Wright wants fans to pick their dream double features from this list. It goes from the films with the most votes (Ichi the Killer) to least (The Westerner.)
