Next Watch Party
🕑 Added 2023-04-11 05:03:38 +0000 UTCSo...for those who were there on my last one, I have finally resolved the sound problem. Which is such a relief. This will make things so much easier for the next one. You guys had mentioned possibly watching The Red Shoes, or Singin in the Rain for the next one. But I wanted to get a sense of what some of you guys are feeling. Throw out some ideas if you'd like. Will try and schedule a new one soon.

Thanks. Just throwing out some random possibilities, plenty of other great options were listed by the other patrons, always happy to see something I've not seen before too. I actually re-watched The Beguiled last week and that's when I discovered there was a remake - I guess I'll have to try and watch it at some point to see if I feel the hatred too! :)

You have great pics as always. I was sooo close to watching Ace in the Hole the other night with a buddy of mine. I need to revisit it. Mulholland Drive sounds like a good option too. Just because...might be fun to hear everyone discuss in realtime. Hopefully people have seen it already. ><

I'd love to do that one at some point for sure. Especially because of how much it continues to resonate

You've got some great choices. You've actually given me an idea. I really hate the remake of The Beguiled. Like...really hate it. And I feel more people need to see the original. You reminded me that we should at that as an option. Also Ball of Fire, Funny Face, etc.. Many good ones
Ross Skilton
Good to know, it's the only film I know of that has a tone/feeling similar to Picnic at Hanging Rock so I figured she'd probably dig it.
Stephen
Ball of Fire would definitely be fun. Bone Tomahawk as well. She’s a fan of the The Beguiled (1971) and hates the new one.
Simon
I would like to see if I can get a good copy of the red shoes, I have never seen it but I want too, particulary for jack cradifs photography.
Ross Skilton
Yeah I've seen it, it was shot at night on the same sets as Dracula and in many ways its a better film, it's a lot smoother in its direction IMO, but less iconic than regular Dracula.
Ross Skilton
If I was going to suggest films with more of a collective fun vibe I'd maybe go with - Ball of Fire (1941), Funny Face (1957), Come drink with me (1966), Night of the Creeps (1986) or Ode to Joy (2019) However, there is also a part of me that would love to see how you'd react to certain films seeing them live for the first time (assuming you have not seen them) such as - These Three (1936), Scarlet Street (1945), The Beguiled (1971), I never promised you a rose garden (1977), A Special Day (1977) or Bone Tomahawk (2015).

Blue Velvet and Vertigo

I really love Stephen and Bennett's suggestions of Mulholland Dr. I'm still on the Red Shoes train just cause I know that's a movie that means a lot to you and I feel like you'd have a lot to talk about.
Tyler Shobe
Really love the Lynch suggestions.
Simon
Some good choices here I see his girl Friday is popular, so I will put Un prophete 2009 instead. Also if people like Cary grant movies, I suggest, Arsenic and old Lace. And question has anyone seen the Spanish language version of, Dracula? Black and white, Old don't have the date to hand
Gary Smith
Dead Ringers might be interesting.Especially since a remake is, coming, with Rachel Weisz playing the dual roles.
Stephen
Still very timely. Great film.
Stephen
My man! I second this!
Bennett Oliver
Ace in the Hole The Night of the Hunter Seven Samurai (too long?) Blue Velvet Mulholland Dr. Videodrome Dead Ringers The Wild Bunch His Girl Friday
Wolfman Brandon
A Face in The Crowd. One of Elia Kazan's most underrated films with Andy Griffith in his film debut that is way darker than what he'd be most known for.
Stephen
2001: A Space Odyssey or Lolita Vertigo The Trial or Citizen Kane His Girl Friday - definitely would be a lot of fun. Sweet Smell of Success City Lights Three Women or McCabe & Mrs Miller Mulholland Drive or Blue Velvet Apocalypse Now Jackie Brown Dead Man The Third Man - also would be a lot of fun Its Always Fair Weather Ok I’ll stop lol. Hope this helps!

8 1/2. The thin man. Bonnie and Clyde. Pump up the volume. Who's afraid of Virgina Wolfe.
Jared Angcanan
