New year, new attempt at getting a little focus movie talk going. I wanted to try by directors for a bit because I am selfish and that's how I usually think about movies. Talking with 80s, I think the specificity of some of the other incarnations limited participation as we went. Not everybody had access to the 2 movies, for example. Here I wanted it way more open, but with a little bit of guidance for people to watch a couple films over the month. As far as discussion and watching, again - wide open. Post your top 5, rank all the directors movies, post what you watched and why, don't post at all and just watch a movie. This is for fun.
What I plan to do is present 3 options for people to focus their search for ideas. 2 will be about the director(s) of the month specifically [ most common would be by years, but it could be other things]. The other one will be Influences. This can be either way - a movie or director that influenced the director, or a movie or director that came after. You pick which way you go if you choose that route, I will just give ideas and links. Again, watch 1 watch something from all 3, tell me the categories suck, it's all good.
I hope that makes a little bit of sense as we start off with.....
STEVEN SPIELBERG
Category 1: A movie from the 70s OR 2000 on
Category 2: A movie from 1980-1999
Influences:
Watch a John Ford movie
Watch one of Steve's favorite movies. HERE is a list I found looking around
Watch something you think was influenced or is a nod to Mr. Spielberg. An example I see all over is Super 8.
