It's been done Tal. I have a lot of lists on my web site you might want to see. I also have a list of REAL movies they mentioned on the show.

That's exactly what I was thinking, I remember hearing about that movie, but just because it has the name of a real movie doesn't mean it's based on that movie, remember a few years after mentioned on seinfeld there was a real Firestorm...

I think Firestorm was the movie I was thinking about in an earlier post. I thought Chunnel was fake and then became a real movie but I don't think now.

Paul, Firestorm was the movie that they used as a fake movie name then a year or two later there appeared a real one.

                             Barcelona, years 1890 to 2000

Then I used 'substring' and got all the others that had Barcelona in the name.

Are there different IMDB sites with different data bases? If so is there a 'best one'?

Was the episode with the movie Firestorm broadcast any time near the release of the movie "Backdraft" ? For some reason, i always associate Firestorm an the Sien world version of Backdraft.

C. Parker Life's a journey, not a guided tour.

Backdraft came out in 1991, I think. But it was mentioned in The Trip Part 1 which came out in 1992 so 1992 is the latest Backdraft could have come out. Firestorm was mentioned in the Rye which came out in the 95-96 season.

Yes, but it was featured by name as a fake movie on Seinfeld about three years or so before a real version was released of it...

In the 95-96 season Firestorm was a fake movie mentioned in The Rye. Then the real movie came out.

ScmOvr911 made a point about Firestorm that went something like this:

Firestorm wasn't released....it escaped.
