25 Films

Posting this in GD initially so everyone sees it, then it can be moved to AV if people want to take it on

I've seen this idea floating about on Tumblr...

http://25films.tumblr.com/post/16100795879/25films

was wondering how if any of the BD crew fancied signing up and having a go -

If you want to do it, we can either:

1) Try to get 25 people to do it, then everyone can suggest one film per person in the challenge,

or

2) You can sign up and other BD members (don't have to be taking part) will suggest a film that they think you will like.

or

3) Sign up and we'll arrange some kind of vote to select 25 films (could use the one Paul has posted as a start) and everyone can watch the same films and comment on them afterwards?

Anyone fancy it? And if so, which option, 1, 2 or 3?

I picked 1. Seems like the best option for getting interesting films, and adds an extra level of fun finding out what people think of the film you picked.

Edit: Oh, hang on, do you only get one film with option 1? I thought it was '25 people in, everyone watches everyone else's suggestions'. I guess I was thinking of a combo of 1 and 3.

No, that's right, 25 people each choose 24 films (not one for themselves) one for each of the other 24 people in the group

Hmmmm I guess we need 26?!

Takes a bit of effort and thought to get something good for everyone. To add a bit of fun, you could rate each movie for relevance, and see who made the best suggestions

I'd be up for this

I've gone for#3 just because it seems the least mentally involved

Belmit · 24-01-2012, 13:02

I guess it doesn't even have to be 25 if people are too lame to join in.

I'm in

I've selected 1 and 3 as I think either could work.

3 would probably be preferred, though, as it would mean we each choose a film for everyone to watch, review and rate; so there is a more constricted selection and it works with however many people sign up.

We could also award the person who selects the most popular film with a pie! Mmmmm, pie!

I'm up for some of this.
It'll help with my side project below my sig.

Are we going to watch them all in the same order? Sort of like a book club with films. A 'film club' if you will.
Or just put up a list and sample whatever we like the look of?

Yeah, any really. Will have a think over the weekend and might stick another poll up for those taking part. Only downside to that is that everyone is busy and if people miss a week, they might not want to take part. I'd say we have possibly a little sub-forum (if that's easy enough to do). We could put a 2 week period for each film across the year for those who want to watch it 'together' as it were, and anyone who doesn't get chance to do it then can update as and when?
