Also Friday the 13th Part 2 and Star Trek Nemesis have solo heads in them.
Aliens for sure; Total Recall I don't recall (heh).


I haven't seen Star Trek Nemesis in forever so I'm not sure about that one either.  If you can maybe describe the scene of that one or the other films...?

In Total Recall, Arnold Schwarzenegger passes through customs and has a mechanical disembodied head which eventually explodes.

Star Trek Nemesis: a brother android of Data's (called B4) is found in pieces on a weird planet: the head starts talking almost immediately.

I wasn't sure about including robot/mechanical heads, but as in these cases they're clearly in the movie for the 'talking head' shock effect, I' d say they qualify.

I would also like to note there were four Futurama movies should be count them as different nominations?

Example
#5. Futurama: Bender's Big Score (from the original post)

54. Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs
55. Futurama: Bender's Game
56. Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder

I'm not going to lie, it has been a while since I've watched them so I'm not sure if any of the heads in a jar or the The Brain Spawn characters appeared.

I was wondering when that would show up.

As for the Futuramas, I'd say, save them up for later. If it seems we can't get to 100 without them, we can put them in, but for now I'm hoping we can get enough varied heads.
