Stavros Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 This is the place to suggest films we can all watch at the same time and use the brand spanking new chat function to discuss as we go. Right now the plan is to make it a regular Saturday night feature. Let us know your suggestions, we'll try to go with stuff everyone has access to.

Koete Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 In A Lonely Place (1950) - Directed by Nicholas Ray and starring Humphrey Bogart. A great film noir and a film that I think gets overshadowed by Maltese Falcon and Casablanca. Available on Youtube last I checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted May 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 After long consideration Doug's suggestion of The Shawshank Redemption seemed very popular. Is this good for everyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Labyrinth. A night with David Bowie's crotch and Muppets is a good night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 In honor of its 30th Anniversary being this Friday, I suggest that this Saturday's movie be The Empire Strikes Back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 I could go for Labyrinth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolette Opal Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind Pulp Fiction Adaptation Anything I can stream via Netflix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stavros Posted May 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind Pulp Fiction Adaptation Anything I can stream via Netflix. I'm good for any of those at some point. Adaptation is a personal favourite. Is there any specific objection to Shawshank this week though? Unless everyone can get their hands on Empire, because with the 30th anniversary that would be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Which version of Empire? I only have the real versions of the trilogy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted May 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Which version of Empire? I only have the real versions of the trilogy. I only have the newer ones. But we face the same issue with Shawshank, I've got the Lucas & Spielberg edit. All the guards are armed with walkie talkies and Warden Norton is a hutt, just as in George's original vision.

KnightWing Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 I've got the new version of Empire as well. Though, truth be told, I think the edits (with the exception of Boba Fett's voice) are actually really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though, truth be told, I think the edits (with the exception of Boba Fett's voice) are actually really good. Empire is probably the one that's least hurt by the changes. The lighting changes on cloud city are just fine, its stuff like inserting Jabba into A New Hope or revamping Mos Eisley that I have problems with.

dc20willsave Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 So, it sounds like Either Empire, Shawshank, or Labrynth. Stavros, since you started the thread, want to start a poll? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted May 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 I don't actually have Labyrinth. Also that film gives me bad dreams at the best of times, let alone if I start watching at 2am. I'll find it if its the group choice, but I'm less keen on it. I'll put up a poll later tonight, just in case any other films get a consensus.

SuaveStar Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Can we get a monthly set going at once? So, we can all somehow acquire the films in time for the movie chats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted May 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 How about if we agree ten films for the poll and the top four get the movie slots for that month? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 We could do movie series, too. It'd be cool to watch through the various comic book movie franchises, or any fantasy movie series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted May 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Right now the shortlist is- Iron Man Shawshank Redemption Labyrinth The Empire Strikes Back Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Adaptation Clerks Little Miss Sunshine Inglourious Basterds Ferris Bueller Phantasm ok thats 11, that'll do for now. Chris suggested In A Lonely Place, which is available on Youtube, but I'm not sure it would place highly on the poll. Maybe we can set aside one week a month to see something more challenging like this, that way we're broadening our horizons instead of just retreading modern hollywood? We'll see how this goes, see how popular this winds up being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 I'd add Clerks as a good movie to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 I'd like to add Inglourious Basterds and Little Miss Sunshine to the short list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 I'll nominate Phantasm to the short-list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 Bump. We should do this again. Anyone up for the first Saturday of January? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaunKL Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 Here's an idea, the Doctor Who TVM is being released February 8th. How bout we plan for February 12th, which would be closest Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 I nominate the DCU Features of Wonder Woman or Under the Red Hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
