25 Films - Page 2

Pumpkinstew · 06-02-2012, 14:29

So how are we doing with this? I'm keen to get cracking before the sun starts staying out past 5pm and I have to start going outside socialising again <shudder>

I do think 3 would be the easiest - everyone suggests 1 or 2 films and we make a list, people can then *cough* source the films before we get started on watching them

Kitten · 06-02-2012, 20:11

Yeah, I'm going to do a new post tomorrow, been thinking about this:

Ask a mod to create a Sub forum of the AV forum, we'll all suggest 1 film to begin with and I'll start a new thread for each one with a date range of two weeks each - then you can either:

a) Watch it within the date range and discuss it - like a film club
b) Watch it whenever you can/want to and update it outside of those dates...

I thought about forgetting the 25 film limit as there is a different number of us - (we'll still call it 25 films though, just to confuse people

) ....however adding b) as an option for those who can't watch the 'current' film in the dates suggested - maybe they're on holiday/busy/don't fancy it. Although the 'Rate the Last Movie you watched' thread is great, there's no collective - it's all linear and you might be commenting on a film someone else commented on months ago but not see the earlier posts - this way we can sort of build a database of these films for everyone to comment on as and when they watch the movie. And of course, we can add new ones whenever we like - so if you see a great movie you'd like to recommend, we can put it in there.

Of course you'll need to use spoiler tags.

That sound good? Feel free to start posting your suggestions, I think so far there are 11 or 12 of us - so 1 or 2 to start with - 22/24 will take us up to almost a year if we give each film a 2 week watching period

Sounds good. If it's going to be one movie per thread can I suggest we use the rate thread facility to give the film a mark out of five? That way the thread score is the official Boat Drinks Collective Review Score or Budduckers. (Somone else can come up with a proper acronym

)

Excellent idea

Psymonkee · 06-02-2012, 21:23

I'm a headcase and forgot to chip in on this thread!

I'm in! Option 1 or 3 is good as well

Dymetrie · 06-02-2012, 22:35

Good plan, Kitten

I shall think of a suitable masterpiece to put forward!

[edit]
We've jus written a provisional list
