What one detail, scene or feature should all movies have? A musical number? A chase scene?

What universal truth can make even the most dull movie better? I'm talking Gigli dull here.

Poll coming...

A chase scene is on the right track, but I think a large explosion is critical to any movie.

There should be a very large explosion in every movie. Just imagine how that would have improved all the movies that didn't have it.

A high-speed chase that also includes the use of firearms. Lots of them. And it must end with a dramatic explosion.

Happy ending. The characters should ideally be animated animals. And its a deal breaker that there MUST NOT be any blood, scary stuff or dull action scenes involving a series of unrealistically large explosions or dubious physics.

EDIT: I'm going to row back a bit from my absolutes. Scary, gory or action movies are permitted, but only if Yakety Sax is played over the top.

Every good movie ever of all time had a chase scene. Be it on foot, train, horse, submarine, skis, aircraft (that includes airplanes, helicopters, airships, etc...) rollerblades, boat, or even car chase scenes just plain rule.

Christopher Walken nude, in makeup as a sad clown, in a chase scene having a pie fight during a musical number with exploding hamsters while Hitchcock walks by in the background.

With dingoes.

The European movies need more chase scenes the American movies need more nude scenes.

Honestly, there's no one element that should be in every movie, it really depends on the type of movie and its message.

Wow, The Wizard of Oz features everything mentioned, aside from VKZ nudity scene, but then I've yet to see the director's cut.

Heh, I'm not sure he could do you justice.

I think VKZ should have a nude scene in every movie.. as long as I get some of the money for him appearing.

A depressing ending. If I walk out of a movie theater with even the slightest zest for life, the director and everyone involved has failed horribly.

Nudity is good too, but only if it is "pretty, hollywood nudity" with people in great shape and under the age of 30. You keep that "realistic, human nudity" to your fucking self (I'm looking at you About Schmidt).

I would prefer a realistic ending. Some happy endings are so forced, you can't believe them.

I don't care about realism. I want despair, and I'm willing to accept any amount of Diabolus Ex Machina (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DiabolusExMachina) required to get it.

A musical number, preferably with chorus line, and some sort of invertebrate -- preferably an octopus.

If the octopus can perform the musical number, that would just about make the movie for me.

Upon further review of the choices in the poll, I have decided that voting "All" is the only appropriate choice. :p

A scene where something huge gets blown up. Hero outrunning the explosion optional.

Also, a scene where Ewan McGregor's character takes his pants off. So just any scene with Ewan McGregor, really.

On reconsidering, all movies should have a nude chase scene, culminating in a nude pie fight set to music and choreographed and led by Alfred Hitchcock (again, nude, and sporting sad clown face paint and large red shoes). Exploding hamsters should be dropped on the compatants by nude flying monkeys, while Vampire Knight Zero leads the baby-eating nude dingos into battle.

No Kung Fu scenes mentioned the poll. I am deeply upset. How dare you don't put a good marital arts option in the poll. :soap:

All movies should presume that the audience is intelligent...

I voted the last option, because if a movie features dingoes eating babies, it really matters very little how boring the rest of the movie gets. People will be horrified at the dingoes eating babies, and won't pay attention to how boring most of the movie is.

Either that, or they'll be laughing with sick, maniacal glee, in which case they likely still won't notice how boring the movie is.
