What does he do if there is no swimming pool?
Did he at least bring a cabana shirt or something?

He has no shirt, shoes, nothing. Just trunks and he mapped it all out how to get home by going from pool to pool. I remember reading the story in school in college and I knew the themes but I forgot how weird the general premise is.

I voted.
I'd prefer to see things I haven't seen before, particularly pre-60's classics. I feel like I always intend to watch some of the ones you guys have discussed in the various threads, but it just skips my mind by the time I get home and am ready to veg. But I'll work with just about anything, variety is good. The only genre I'd probably skip is horror - just not my thing.

51.7/48.3
Sorry. I just can't go along with 50/50.
I don't care which is 51.7 and 48.3, but I expect the % to be exact!

This is so true. Pretty crap interface. There's also been a few that I am interested in seeing, but they are rental/buy only and not included in Prime.

Those interfaces are designed to get people to watch what rhe service wants them to watch and not necesarily what the viewer wants to watch.

Personally, I would lean more discovery, but in the end I am down for discussing movies with people that love them even if it's Pulp Fiction for the 100th time.

i nominate the original The Shaggy Dog (1959). i still have nightmares about that & want y'all to figure it out

Maybe I just need to Google stuff a little better. Found a list of stuff on Netflix that I haven't seen that would be good:
Magnificent Ambersons
The Stranger
West Side Story
Doctor Zhivago
The Dirty Dozen
Wild Bunch
Once Upon a Time in America
Like I said, I am not opposed to watching stuff I've seen before too. There are a ton of movies that I've only seen once or twice that I would love to look at again - Schindler's List, The Graduate, Annie Hall, Cool Hand Luke, and a couple others from 80s and MOCS's lists.

Good list of movies there to watch- some lengthy epics in there too. We probably don't want to make the first movie a 3.5 hour movie though.
Man of Constant Sorrow

I've been think'n about this ...
What did he map it out on? Or, is it all in his head?
If he did map it out, how does he keep it dry when he swims?

I've used Prime to watch a few great movies recently: Stop Making Sense, The Last Waltz, The Swimmer, Johnny Guitar
Man of Constant Sorrow

Is that the Meechum/Mitchim/Mooch'em (sp? or whoever) movie we are discussing?
So - he gets his head wet - where the maps are - got it.
Has anyone gotten suspicious of him yet?
I mean - no shoes, no shirt, no nothin - but trunks --- hmmm --- ugly, flashy trunks?
Or, more subtle trunks?
Ilov80s
Footballguy
Yes but it's being stored in Burt Lancaster's head because it's Burt Lancaster in the movie and not Robert Mitchum since it woiuld have been a crime for Mitchum to go around with Lancaster's head without Lancaster's body being with it and at that point why pay both actors?
They trunks are very short and very tight. He makes a move on every woman he runs into.
Everyone in the neighborhood knows who he is and so they are often very suspicious of him.

Meechum maybe?
OK. But I never said anything about a body.
WAT? Never!
He does? Or his "trunks"?
Now ... THAT makes sense.
Thnx. I be back later for more clarifications - I'm syre.

I just got done cleaning out some riffraff in my list and updated it with a bunch from a couple lists like that I found tonight:
First Reformed
Chinatown
The Act of Killing
Murder on the Orient Express (74)
Young Adult
Night of the Living Dead
His Girl Friday
The Handmaiden
The Salesman
Sophie's Choice
Midnight Cowboy
Demon
The 39 Steps
The Apartment
Hoop Dreams
The Last Waltz
The Proposition
The Sweet Hereafter
Whale Rider
Les Diabolique

Warning that The Proposition is a Western. Also, I think The Apartment is a great choice at some point for the list. It's an older movie that doesn't feel old, it has the qualifications of a classic film yet I find a lot of people haven't seen it- often they don't even know much about it.
Man of Constant Sorrow

Sweet list.
Also, I want to nominate the movie you turned me onto - but I have not watched yet. Kubrick - The Killing

Looks like that one's not included with Prime, but is a 2.99 rental. I was going to suggest a Reservoir Dogs/The Killing double feature to kick this off when the idea first popped into my head.
KarmaPolice
Footballguy
Looks like it's about 50/50 on the votes for 1 or 2 movies a month. Do we try 2 movies and have 1 pre-80s and one 1980+ or something?
Ilov80s
Footballguy
I do like the idea of pairing a somewhat recent movie with an older movie doing a double feature thing. Like you said, The Killing and Resevoir Dogs go together well- just not sure how available they are. That is will be the trick is fining combos where both are widely available- especially in the beginnig if we are trying to encourage participation.
Man of Constant Sorrow
Footballguy
I like.
Would it be possible to do 2 movies with the understanding that one would the "primary" movie (e.g. Reservoir Dogs) and the 2nd would be optional (e.g. The Killing).
Also, if we could have them come from 2 different "platforms/sources" it may help more people get in.
