LimeGreenLegend 4,175 Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 The wheel has been spun and the winning category for September's film club is... As nominated by @djw180 we'll be watching a film in a language we've not yet covered. So nominate any film you like as long as it's not in English, French, Norwegian, Korean or Japanese. My film nomination is from Italy, Federico Fellini's La Strada. The winner will be picked on Friday 🙂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PretendWereDead 446 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) Hodejegerne (Headhunters) based on a novel from one of my favorite writers, Jo Nesbø. Edit: Oh wait… Not in Norwegian? In that case I would like to nominate Der Untergang, one of the most impressive and realistic movies about WW2, ever made.

Squirrel 5,180 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Red Cliff (2008, Mandarin) Directed by John Woo it’s a historical Chinese War Epic featuring an actress who has just been in the news for being removed from history by China. I actually own the 5 hour version of this film but the theatrical version is fine for the film club. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djw180 6,836 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) I thought I'd pick something in a different language to those already nominated. So after a quick search on imdb I am going for Krzysztof Kieslowski's, A Short Film About Love - Polish Edited September 1, 2021 by djw180 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimeGreenLegend 4,175 Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) The winner has been chosen for this month's international adventure... From Italy, Federico Fellini's La Strada (The Road). Also, if anyone's interested I've made a Spotify playlist featuring music from most of the films we've covered so far. I'll keep it regularly updated so feel free to give it a follow. I recommend you put it on random 🙂 Edited September 3, 2021 by LimeGreenLegend 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimeGreenLegend 4,175 Posted October 1, 2021 Author Share Posted October 1, 2021 It's spooky season which means one thing, the good old horror double feature. Like last year everyone will nominate both a classic and a modern horror film, classic being anything before 1980. Winners will be drawn Monday. My picks are Nosferatu - A Symphony of Horror (1922) and Red Moon Tide (2020) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djw180 6,836 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) Dark comedies with a location in the title directed and produced by brothers. 🤨 Only joking, although I was genuinely wondering about Cohen Brothers films. Will think of something proper later. Edited November 3, 2021 by djw180 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LimeGreenLegend 4,175 Posted November 5, 2021 Author Share Posted November 5, 2021 The winning genre for this month is... films by Ethan and Joel Coen as nominated by @djw180, and @omarcomin71will be happy too as most of their films are dark comedies. I'll start off by nominating a film that also has a location in the title, Raising Arizona. Winner will be picked on Monday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omarcomin71 3,837 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) The big Lebowski and O Brother Where Art Thou? are probably my two favorites. However, I’d love to see what others think of Burn After Reading. I remember it being very dark but very funny as well. It’s time to revisit. 🙂 Edited November 5, 2021 by omarcomin71 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimeGreenLegend 4,175 Posted November 5, 2021 Author Share Posted November 5, 2021 @omarcomin71nice choice, one of two Coen bros films that I haven't seen. May watch it even if it doesnt win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djw180 6,836 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 You may be able to guess what I am going to nominate. A dark comedy with a place name in the title. Fargo. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
