The one I nominated is the one with Beyonce and the other chicks. 1 Quote RSC FILM CLUB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot wait to review it to shreds!!! While there are a handful of musical style movies that I can enjoy I cannot stand the genre as whole. Using that I did a google search for the worst ones made and made my choice based upon that list. CStM was mentioned as not only being a bad musical but also one of the worst movies ever created, so this should be interesting. That dreamgirls movie I saw mentioned was also on some worst ever lists. Edit, this movie also has the honor of winning two of the first razzie awards.

I appreciate that you are going to watch it. Let's all suffer together. Just watched a clip on YT and LMFAO.....this is not a film Mike Pence would recommend and its 2 hours long, we all going to hell hahahaha. Something tells me to watch this first and then rinse it off with Mulholland Drive.

LimeGreenLegend 4,175 Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) It's a new month so time for a new category. After the atrociously entertaining Can't Stop the Music I'm in the mood for an actually good film. Every ten years Sight and Sound magazine polls critics and directors to compile two lists of the 100 greatest films of all time (one chosen by critics, the other by directors). My nomination for this month is any film from the latest (2012) S&S director's poll. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sight_%26_Sound_Greatest_Films_of_All_Time_2012 @Con would you like to do the honour of picking the winner on Wednesday, and I'll spin for the film when those noms are in?

Squirrel 5,180 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I’m stuck between a choice of two films on that list but both choices have multiple versions available. I’m caught between Blade Runner and Apocalypse Now. Blade Runner has a lot of different edits which changes how the film ends as well as Apocalypse Now having the Redux version. Before making my choice, what version would you want to be reviewed? Is it the theatrical cut or the most recent available cut of the film? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con 5,703 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I'm stuck between , Cache (2005) , Blue Velvet (1986) which I both own and never watched. But honestly, I'm really curious about The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (1976). I'm gonna need a few hours to decide. 2 Quote RSC FILM CLUB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
