▶December Film Club Discussion and Suggestions inconnu ## Board Owner 12/02/14 (Tue) 23:05:29 No.2623>>2627 [Watch Thread][Show All Posts]

It's time again to discuss this month's Film Club. We've developed an informal system of taking submissions, voting on them, and watching the winning titles. A theme can be helpful to generating a list of ideas, but it's not mandatory that all suggestions fit into one theme.

I'd also like to hear your suggestions to improve participation in Film Club, as interest has tapered off a bit lately. For starters, I'm thinking we should go back to no more than two films per month.

So weigh in with suggested titles and tweaks for Film Club. I'll take silence as a signal that people are bored with this feature.

>>2623 (OP)
I nominate The Dark Knight Rises's opening scene, on repeat, for two hours so it seems feature length.

You know, the one with the plane crashing part, not the part with Gary Oldman. The OTHER opening scene.

Nice thought, we'll add it to the list.

▶inconnu 12/04/14 (Thu) 05:42:18 No.2630

I guess i'll continue suggesting based off a seasonal theme.

Tokyo Twilight - Ozu (one of the most underrated Ozus and probably his darkest. His only winter film I believe.)

The Little Match Girl - Renoir
(Fantastic lesser known renoir. Only 40 minutes but is perfect for late December or new years eve.)

Haven't seen:
Landscape in the Mist - Theo Angelopoulos
Affair in the snow - Yoshida

It's about time to get on with it, but almost every title got a vote so the field has only been narrowed to three.

The two winners have been determined: The Little Match Girl and Devils on the Doorstep. If you nominated one of these, you are welcome to begin the Film Club discussion thread.
