Needed: New Daily Dialogue themes!

We’ve officially tapped out of our last slate of Daily Dialogue themes, so here’s your chance to survey your cinematic sensibilities, and surface a great theme for upcoming DD posts. Some tips:

* It has to be a theme we can fill 7 posts with (i.e., it needs at least 7 good examples).

* It should be an entertaining theme, something readers will enjoy reading.

* It should be a theme we can learn from, demonstrating a variety of ways writers and filmmakers have dealt with a specific narrative dynamic.

We’ve been using this approach now for over three years, so in that time have covered a lot of themes. While it’s okay to repeat some, let’s seek out unusual ideas. After all, there are a world of possibilities:

Of course, each person who has their theme selected gets a week’s worth of mentions with each Daily Dialogue theme. Okay, so it’s not like winning the Mega Lottery, but it’s something!

So what are your suggestions for Daily Dialogue themes? Please join me in comments to help create our next slate. Thanks in advance!
