Plot[edit]

This is my first full plot addition to a film article, and I could use another set of eyes to look it over. I can't seem to get it down much further without removing what I think are important plot points, but it still seems a touch long. Much thanks, Fractalchez (talk) 20:31, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reference in Pop Culture[edit]

I removed reference to the use of the phrase "today is a good day to die", as the film "Flatliners" is not the first time this phrase has been used. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DFS (talk • contribs) 16:39, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In Bret Easton Ellis' novel Glamorama the main character Victor Ward is set to be cast in Flatliners 2 before everything falls apart.

Episode 6 of Fat Guy Stuck in Internet features Chains consistently guessing Flatliners as the movie a certain quote is from.

In an episode of Father Ted, Ted asks Jack if he is watching Flatliners on the television.

A pornographic spoof called Fatliners, starring Ron Jeremy, was produced in 1990.^[1]

Fort Minor makes a reference to the film in the song "Strange Things".

In the first Episode of "Free Radio", Lance Krall tells guest star Kiefer Sutherland, he tried to kill himself and have a friend revive him as they do in the film.

In an episode of Diagnosis Murder a group of young medical students recreate the events of Flatliners with fatal effects. They are then investigated by Dr. Mark Sloan (Dick Van Dyke) and the team.

Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine sampled a line from the Flatliners to start "Suppose You Gave a Funeral and Nobody Came" from their 1992 album 1992 - The Love Album.

I've moved this list here until it can be put in proper prose form and cited.--J.D. (talk) 18:49, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No Production Information?[edit]

This article doesn't have any information on the film's production. This is very important information and it needs to be added to the article.--Paleface Jack (talk) 16:01, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Flatliners → Flatliners (1990 film) - I don't think the original movie is the primary topic. Flatliners should redirect to the disambiguation page Flatliner. 2A00:23C0:4386:3001:3DB1:AF51:1F57:BF22 (talk) 14:20, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Definitely the primary topic. An extremely influential film. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:10, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. WP:PRIMARYTOPIC — Zzyzx Wolfe^(TALK_CONT) 00:32, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per the above. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 08:57, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose it is difficult to assess the longrun primary topic right now.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 13:10, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support. The 2017 film gets 3 times the views of the 1990 film[1]. There is no primary topic (WP:ATDAB). Comments above provided no reason to why the 1990's film is primary topic. Whether the film is influential or not is a matter of opinion. I'm surprised that some editors actually disregard policies in favor of their favourite film.— Za wl 09:21, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

slight reorder[edit]

The bit about, "Meanwhile, Joe's fiancee", was shifted upwards to reflect the proper chronological order of the film. It used to appear on a new paragraph. There was no real reason for the inaccurate ordering. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.91.136.100 (talk) 05:01, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
