Dirty Movie Club 1.0

[Tom]

Welcome to the Dirty Movie Club!

Here are the ground rules. Feel free to suggest others / changes you think might be a good idea. This thread will act as the base of operations for the club.

Every 1 to 2 weeks, one member of the club will post a thread titled "Dirty Movie Club: Name of movie. In the first post they should include a brief synopsis, a small bit on why they chose that movie, and any links to external sites of interest (IMDB, Amazon, etc).

Any movie is allowed to be submitted. Feature length animations are also eligible. TV shows, live music recordings and pornography are not eligible. The movie should be readily available for purchase / rent / (legal) download.

No links to pirate copies of any movie will be tolerated.

You do not have to participate in discussion every week. However, if you fail to participate for more than, say, 3 movies, your turn to submit a movie may be forfeit and given to someone more active.

New members can join the club at any time, but they will be added to the bottom of the list. Join by replying to this thread.

The first batch of members will be randomised.

And with that, here's the member list, in order of who posts when.

DMC1 - Strangelet - Joe vs The Volcano
DMC2 - b.miller - Sweet Smell of Success

If they're available on DVD, they're fair game. I think including movies that are still showing at the theatres would be a bad idea - they cost a lot more, and don't show everywhere at the same time. What do you guys think?

[chuck]

I'm with Tom - if we can keep it to DVD available movies - that would be handy. Being down here in the backwater south pacific - we don't often get releases the same time as you lot up there in the NH.

unless it's a movie about a hobbit and/or large gorillas.

Does imdb include release schedules?

[jOHN rODRIGUEZ]

I was going to pick "Back to School" with Dangerfield, BUT being #8 on the list, feelings WILL change when my turn comes.

It's all of you guyses loss.

[gambit]

It's a nice idea (the watch an Oscar movie before the Oscars thing), but watching one of them might be a problem for me. I'll be able to participate better if it's available on Netflix.

A question: are we allowing full-length documentaries to count as movies? I don't have any one documentary in mind, but I'm asking just so we know our boundaries.

[Tom]

Yeah, I see no reason to exclude them.
