Jun 22, 2015I dunno, man. I still think it could work. It was perhaps just the film choices that alienated people. We had a pretty solid film watching club for a little while back at Studio Leaks and it's where a bunch of us saw Forbidden Games, In The Realm of the Senses, The Imitation Game, amongst others... those 3 being films totally not on my radar. I appreciated the group for that. I also don't think we need to judge a thread based on popularity. There was like 5 of us consistently in that thread, and sometimes only like 2 who saw the film, but it didn't matter, that was enough to keep it going and people could just join in or leave it as they wish. Perhaps starting a week 4 with something that crosses the boundary between 'critically appraised art film you should see' and 'popular well-known film you've been intending to see anyways' would close the gap.
Some films to pop up: The Yards, The 25th Hour, Prisoners, Place Beyond the Pines, Schindler's List, Citizen Kane, Hard Eight, Rushmore, Boyhood, Yi Yi, Biutiful, Pan's labyrinth, A Separation, Lost in Translation, Django Unchained, Donnie Darko, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Delicatessen, Paprika
Some of those I haven't seen, and i bet a bunch of people on here want to see 'em but haven't done so yet either...
Like this if you'd watch one of the film's listed...
