Nice writeup and good verdict.

Where have I seen that 6/9 twist before?

Minority Report

Definitely in that one, I'm sure I've seen it elsewhere too though.

I can picture it on a mailbox in some film, too...

City Hunter

Yikes.  I hadn't read up on this film before I watched it or I would have had second thoughts about choosing it. 

Looks like I'll be checking this one out a midnight screening in 35mm soon.  Hooray for unfair advantages!

I've never seen Minority Report.  For some reason I'm remembering it as a cartoon, maybe a Bugs Bunny or something...

Maybe I'll try and grab it in the next round.

Pixote, if you're reading, shotgun on Road Home in round 2!

Fight! Fight! Fight!

 :D

Quote from: pixote
Yeah, definitely seen the "the 6 on the door is really a 9" thing a few times before.  Most recently in a sci-fi movie, I think.  Minority Report?
Ah yes! That'd be the one I was thinking.

Thanks folks for the kind words.

As for 6ixtynin9, that's on my DVR already, waiting for me to catch up with some of these losing films.  

I liked it!

Maybe not as much as the Road Home, that was a harsh matchup.

Pretty sure it isn't in memento.
I actually consider a lot of movies to be life-changing! I take them to my heart and they melt into my personality.
