Orthogonal but the early 90s film Nothing But Trouble [0] starring Chevy Chase, Demi Moore, John Candy, and Dan Akroyd incorporates a likely Centralia-inspired mine fire into the overarching story. It's a ridiculous film but worth watching, they definitely don't make em like this anymore. [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uOBF6r040U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uOBF6r040U

Chevy Chase using a car phone is worth it for the historical perspective.

they definitely don't make em like this anymore. And for that I'm glad. Chevy Chase only did the film as a personal favor to Dan Akroyd. That movie is ridiculous alright, and as a younger person, nightmare fuel. It's grotesque on an almost-horror level.

  It might not be for everyone, but this was one of my favorite movies growing up. You could make the same comment about Beetlejuice (of which I am excited they are making a sequel).

    You sir are someone I could probably enjoy a favorite movies marathon with. Raising Arizona is another from that era which really clicked comedically for my young mind...

    Is it going to be Beetlejuice goes Hawaiian like originally planned? (That was the actual pitch for several years)

    Why would Beetlejuice finally getting a sequel be something to get excited about? Every other decades-later sequel has sucked thus far, why would this be any different? What made it great was the zeitgeist of when it was made.

        > I'm gonna hope you aren't objectifying a fifteen year old even retrospectively and assume you just felt she was a cool character. 9 year old me totally objectified her upon seeing this film, sue me. I even ended up dating goth girls in my teens probably because of this movie.

        Nobody is trying to sue 9 year old you. But we have come to the point where we disapprove (rightly so) of those who put a 15 year old in the spot so that 9 year olds would objectify her.

        Where do we draw the line though? A hypersexualized society is certainly no good, but a hyperprude one can't be either. Kids entering puberty will, guess what, enter puberty, and if they have eyes they'll have dreams

  You don't like that movies are made as personal favors? A lot of movies are made that way, seems like a weird reason not to like something so much that you not only avoid it yourself, you're glad others won't see it too.
