Stranger Things: la lunghissima lista dei film che hanno ispirato la quarta stagione

Era l'11 ottobre 2019 quando il canale twitter che dà voce al team di sceneggiatori di Stranger Things annunciava di voler elencare, ogni venerdì, i film dei quali gli autori avevano parlato durante la settimana e che sono collegati, in un modo o nell'altro, alla quarta stagione:

Il 24 aprile è stato l'ultimo "Video Store Friday", e per celebrare la fine di questa vera e propria maratona il canale ha pubblicato un'immagine con una lavagna sulla quale sono stati scritti, settimana dopo settimana, tutti i film: "Questo significa," viene spiegato nel tweet, "che su questa lavagna trovate il DNA che compone la quarta stagione!"

This is it -- our last Video Store Friday! Every time we discussed a movie, we wrote it on a whiteboard. So here it is -- the Video Store whiteboard in its full glory. That means that -- yes -- on this board, you will discover the DNA that makes up season 4! Enjoy, and stay safe! pic.twitter.com/T7hG1AR3s4

I film sono tantissimi, per la precisione 251. Molte sono pellicole degli anni ottanta ma anche parecchi titolo più recenti, come Inside Out o Thor: Ragnarok. Ben tre i film che hanno Winona Ryder nel cast (Beetlejuice, Ragazze interrotte e Giovani, carini e disoccupati), mentre ci sono parecchi film incentrati sulle prigioni (Il miglio verde, Le ali della libertà, Io sono un evaso, La grande fuga).
