what about setting up slider tracks for the seat bottom, and hinging the seatback to the seat bottom(if it's not already)
i havent taken the seats out before to know if this will work, just the first idea that popped into my head.
with these slider tracks(like are on the front seats) as you slide the seat bottom forward, the seat backs would follow on the bottom and recline up top.
don't know if this is clear enough to understand, if not i'll sketch pics of what i'm talkin about
later and good luck

thats actually very similer to what i was thinking but looking at the back seat it looks like im going to nead to put additionall hinges in the back seat so the sides will fold in, unless... i think what your saying would work, its somthing i will have to look into

There's not abundant legroom unless the front seats are pretty far forward, so you might want to think twice about having the seat slide forward any, if you actually want anyone to fit there. If you just want it b/c it's way cooler than everyone else's back seat, then rails for the seat to slide on would seem to be the easiest thing to fab.

why not just fab up bracket to fit a second pair of front seat buckets on the rear bench? ive seen many car do this. looks very nice when done right, and you get the same functions as you would up front. just a thought

not a major concern being that we switch to the back seat pull the fronts all the way forward and then simply watch the movie that way

Not going into to much detail about how it isn't possible nor is it going to be cheap - I'll suggest you try and watch your movies on the couch in the lounge, like the rest of us do.
