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)
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)
- 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)

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)

- 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)
- Oppose. Definitely the primary topic. An extremely influential film. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:10, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose. WP:PRIMARYTOPIC — Zzyzx Wolfe (TALKCONT) 00:32, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose per the above. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 08:57, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
- 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)
- 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.— Zawl 09:21, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

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)
