Isn't it magical, having two landmarks at your doorstep? :shades:

Voted for Bunuel. I had my eyes on that movie for quite some time now.

I consider the Landmark Theater that opened down my street last year (I believe it's the biggest independent theater in the U.S. with 12 screens and 4 fo them "living room" screens in which it's a smaller interior but there are leather comfy couches, love seats, etc. very awesome!) a gift, as Kathy Griffin would say, from baby Jesus.

It's seriously my second home.

I have requested both Moolaade and Discreet Charm from the library, so hopefully I can get them and watch them within the next week or so. Now that I'm home I feel like catching up on my arty films.

The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie is the best film listed by quite a margin. It's a great pick for something like this.

I hate it when assholes put their "endorsement" in a poll as if we would get swayed by that. So for that I voted for Bunuel.

...

Wait...

Post Re: The Foreign/Independent Movie Club
Ok so 2 things that I want to take care of:

1. I will probably be gone all of next week...so suggestions for next week!! Let me know so I can hopefully put a poll up before I go. Anyone and everyone. Dr. Lecter?

2. I will probably contact those who haven't replied in the Bourgeoisie thread yet but originally expressed interest in taking part of this in a couple of days. In the future, however, I don't want to feel like I'm spamming people's inboxes. So if you WOULD like to be reminded every time it's time to watch a new film, let me know here and I'll create a mini-list and let those on it know via PM every time a thread for a new film is up!!

oh, and 3...

Get to watching Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, or post in the thread for it if you have done so already! ;)

Hm...so since the issue here seems to be people being not being able to locate films quickly enough, do you think we should get to choosing the next/next few films?

I'm currently taking suggestions!! :) I don't really want to impose films of my choosing every time.

snack, you were, however, one of the people that managed to get a copy of the film right? have you watched it? ;)
