Fair Tax!
Maybe....closer to yes than no.
I think you just described late stage DeNiro movies.30 years later and it's still the best movie on the subject of making a corpse blend in to varioius social events.
Sounds dangerous!A shirtless Burt Lancaster just goes sneaking around his wealthy neighborhood swimming in people's backyards and getting into weird encounters with his neighbors.
What does he do if there is no swimming pool?Actually it has been
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.What does he do if there is no swimming pool?
Did he at least bring a cabana shirt or something?
haven't seen most of these, but these would be my thoughts on netflix...Not trying to be a ####, but I am honestly curious since I seem to have little luck finding stuff on Netflix/AP/Hulu to watch movie-wise : what are ilov80s and others finding on those services to watch?
Off the top of my head, I think I have Network, African Queen? Not many in my queue i would consider movie club-worthy.
50/50 is on netflix and yes i think it has both of those themes...I still think the other question is do people see this more as nostalgia or discovery? 50/50?
Yeah, sounds goodI still think the other question is do people see this more as nostalgia or discovery? 50/50?
51.7/48.3I still think the other question is do people see this more as nostalgia or discovery? 50/50?
That is fine but I will insist on rounding to the nearest 10.51.7/48.3
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!
Nearest 10th place = 51.7 ...That is fine but I will insist on rounding to the nearest 10.
Tens place, this way we can both get what we want. Win/win.Nearest 10th place = 51.7 ...
... or nearest 10s place = 51.7?
This MATTERS!
I dropped to correlate to the end of May when GOT ended.The most interesting thing so far is how so many people have kept HBO now that GOT and Chernobyl are done.
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.Amazon Prime has a lot too but it's not set-up well for always finding them.
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.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.
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 still think the other question is do people see this more as nostalgia or discovery? 50/50?
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.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

What did he map it out on? Or, is it all in his head? In his head
If he did map it out, how does he keep it dry when he swims? He doesn't.
Is that the Meechum/Mitchim/Mooch'em (sp? or whoever) movie we are discussing?The Swimmer
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?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?
processingYes but it's being stored in Burt Lancaster's head ...
... because it's Burt Lancaster in the movie ...
Meechum maybe?... and not Robert Mitchum ...
OK. But I never said anything about a body.... since it woiuld have been a crime for Mitchum to go around with Lancaster's head without Lancaster's body being with it ...
WAT? Never!and at that point why pay both actors?
He does? Or his "trunks"?They trunks are very short and very tight. He makes a move on every woman he runs into.
Now ... THAT makes sense.Everyone in the neighborhood knows who he is and so they are often very suspicious of him.
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:I've used Prime to watch a few great movies recently: Stop Making Sense, The Last Waltz, The Swimmer, Johnny Guitar
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.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

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

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).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?
