Originally Posted By FerretAfros I would be up for doing some, but I can't make any gurantees for which ones I would have a chance to watch, but I'd definatley like to do as many as possible.
Originally Posted By alexbook I saw the listing for this topic and I thought it meant that DAR was inviting us all to his place for movies. ;-P
Originally Posted By Schmitty Good Vibes I really like this idea! I know how it is for AJandHollysMom, but I insist that some movies just have to be seen on the big screen. Maybe we could select movies that are accesable to all, supplimented by a new release. I don't have a netflix account, but I hope to have one by the end of March. Do the Brit and Ausie LPer's have the TCM Chanel? I intend to subscribe to their magazine, so maybe I could shout out a heads up when something we are all interested in comes up. Jazzy, you've never seen Casablanca??!!

Originally Posted By JazzCat Nope, I haven't seen Casablanca. Maybe we should have a Casablanca meet.
Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan Count me in. I especially enjoy old movies. Would this be a thread in "General Entertainment" or "Community"? I'd suggest a new thread for each film.

I figure we'll start in March would anyone like to start us off? Unless you guys want me to do it. The only thing is the last part of my month I'm going to be gone for awhile. It's been decided that we'll do two movies a month. One older film and something a little more contemporary. Obviously you can sit a movie out if you don't like the choice, but does anyone have an objection to R rated films?
Originally Posted By 999HAUNTS I like the idea of one "black and white" and one more current flick. But, as some have mentioned, to keep costs down, maybe the more current flick should be rentable? Something like Troy or Last of the Mohicans - or even American Gangster?
Originally Posted By u k fan I have TCM though I'm not sure if they show the same movies as in the US. I'd be happy to buy the older movies if they weren't too expensive!!!
Originally Posted By Lisann22 We could rotate like we are the book club. DAR being the originator and then in April someone else picks the 2 movies. Or co-hosts for the month; 1 for the old film and 1 for the newer film. I'm willing to do a month or co-host a month.
