Some suggestions for future films to watch - fit them in when and where you can in the schedule

Buckaroo Banzai...

Yojimbo

Primer

Things to Do In Denver When You're Dead

Three Days of the Condor

Deep Rising

Half Baked

I was going to use Buckaroo Banzai as my next choice (where's the blu-ray?). Way to go, Phil! Every film on your list would be good. Some I've seen, but most either I saw so long ago that I don't remember them too well, or I haven't seen at all.

Some more suggestions for films to watch:

The Good, The Bad and the Ugly

Cry Baby/

Wolfen

City of Lost Children

Prince of Darkness

Repo Man

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story

Saturn 3

That's why I picked it

Yeah, for just a fistful of dollars, I could watch The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. Heck, for just a few dollars more I'd even watch it again!

Sorry...someone had to do it...

Awesome! hehe, i saw the movie on blu-ray couple of days back, if only i had a monster HD TV, to put it to justice.

Holy yojimbo! For that punnage you deserve a fistful of dynamite then we'd see who the last man standing was.

I dont know for sure, i'll have to go back to the store i saw it in, but the internet tells me that there are a total of 4 documentaries, deleted scenes, commentary by film historian Richard Schickel and writer Christopher Frayling and of course some trailers.

Check out this link:

The Good The Bad And The Ugly Blu-Ray Review

It has some screenshots too.

I think i know some movies that might be fun to watch in movie club:

Being There http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078841/

The Warriors http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080120/

Barry Lyndon http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072684/

Cadence http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101531/

Hello all! Semi-longtime lurker on LFF here, anotherzen poked me repeatedly about joining the movie club so here I am!

Not quite sure how you organize this, but I'll start by throwing out a suggestion: Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead (1990) by Stoppard. One of my favorites for sure, hopefully not unwelcome.

+1 for Deep Rising hehe, one of the greatest monster movies ever

i suggest Tideland http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0410764/


welcome Ash

Welcom aboard Asherett. Thanks for posting. Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead is a fantastic movie. Only watched it the one so I'll have to try and get hold of it again.

Keep the suggestions coming. We'll have to start watching a movie a week!

maybe as we go along, try and make some theme nights each month? maybe 1 weeken each month we can have a
monster movie extravaganza? where we watch monster movies.

and of course sci-fi night, comedy night, classics (pre 60s/70s)night, or something?
makes for good fun to invite friends to aswell i think

I like the sound of that. Could also bring in more people on those various nights.

As it was your idea I'll let you pick the first night - the theme and the date

oh, maybe Cube http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0123755/ if everyone haven't seen it to many times hehe.

Oh, heck, let's go ahead and add Near Dark http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093605/ to the list, too. I've only ever seen the first 30 minutes before having to leave.

oh, Bill Paxton, the man added to the list!

Ok, we have a comprehensive list of great movies to choose from, should we maye make a poll to see what movie will go next?
Or should we just take it from the top and work our way down?



Just for fun i made a crappy poster for the monster movie night hehe
But maybe something similar could be made to get more people to join the club?

Im gonna pick the first Tremors for the Monster movie night if no-one objects.
And maybe give some info on the whole series + tv show.

Awesome poster!! i love tremors!!!

I think it's a GREAT poster! It's up to Phil, of course, since it's his site, but I think it should be posted everywhere possible.

I also think TREMORS is a great pick for the first film. Fred Ward and Kevin Bacon, the dynamic duo!
