Dark Jedi Master 007 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 Ok. So, the consensus seems to be built around focusing on specific time periods.I think that's cool. I'm going to do it by starting out at the 60's and branching off. That would appeal to anyone who wants newer films, but also those who want to see movies from the earliest portion of cinema. In other words, it strikes a good balance.For now, I'll assign everyone a decade because it makes organization easier, but I might end up allowing for an amendment to this part.I'm going to type out a list of guidelines sometime from now till Wednesday night (I'm pretty busy). And we should be ready to start on Friday of this weekend.Does anyone have any objections to any of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Panda Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I may or may not need a date change just because I might be out of town that week, but I am not 100% as of yet. I will let you know when it gets to time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Well everyone I have been given the honor of selecting our first film. My choice is a war film. It takes place during World War II and up until that time, most war films showed our soldiers as loyal and respectful to their elders. This film said authority be damned and it caught on with a younger generation just starting to get restless about what was going on in the 60's. Yet it had enough action and fun that older audiences could come to the film as a good time at the movies. It's a film that was likely an influence on Tarantino when he did Inglorious Basterds. From 1967 I am pleased to present: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Jedi Master 007 Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 Interesting choice! I've always wanted to see it. I'll probably see it tomorrow. The general rule, just in case you guys didn't read the post is that we'll talk about this film for a week. Try to see it, even if you've already seen it, so we can have a fresh discussion!
