That is a brilliant film ,as is my back-up : 'Frantic' (1987) ,directed by Roman Polanski and starring Harrison Ford.
VERY under-rated.
It'll be my first watch of it, so I look forward to the viewing.
It wont let you down.
@Fire_and_Ice_Returns, tomorrow I'll take all the names of the participants into a randomizer and get the final order that way, and that will be the full list/schedule of the films and when they'll be watched.
The list above was just a random order I've compiled any time a member has suggested a film.
Vampire's Kiss (1988); Directed by Robert Bierman
If I had the money I'd travel the world with a bunch of crumpled up numbers in a hat, stopping by everyone's native land to have them make a pick. I'm left doing it the easier, albeit more boring, way.
That's good I am off work for ten days so will get involved with the first film
Why aren't you popular with the Chicago police department?
"chorizo and eggs"
Make that a final decision for me, @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7
White God it is.
If you are in the UK, White God is on Film 4 this week.
Cheers for that will record it
I haven't seen TOM all the way through (and am looking forward to it), but for me, I Am Legend adaptations begin and end with Vincent Price's Last Man on Earth. Really the closest to the original novel we've gotten, I think. A pretty darned good film in its own right from the era of Night of the Living Dead. A proto-zombie film in many ways.
The recent film THE GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS takes a lesson from Matheson with how the story is resolved. Maybe in a more inclusive, 21st Century way, but still.
The General (1928)/ Dir. Buster Keaton, Clyde Bruckman
Very available for viewing. Spies, action, based on a true story.
And don't worry, the Confederacy are portrayed as the bad guys.
Amazing film. Arguably Bogie's best performance ever, which means it's a stellar performance.
Great choice!
Got some real classics on this list!
So how does this work? Is it like a sort of film on trial, where when it is our turn, we make our case, and then everyone else chimes in with their thoughts?
Just got in as I was radomizing, @MajorDSmythe.
How it works is this:
When it's your turn (there will be a set order of when each member will present their film) you can share what you find compelling or special about the film and why you picked it in a non-spoiler couple of paragraphs (optional) and then for two weeks we'll all watch your chosen film and discuss it. The member that selected the film of that period can take it upon themselves to lead discussion in areas they find fruitful a times (what do we think about the actors, director, story, etc), as their passion and/or knowledge of the film could lead other members who aren't as familiar with the movie to uncover some of its ideas, messages, conventions, etc. But again, this is up to the person and not mandatory.

I'll give anyone who may want to make a film change a couple of days to use the opportunity, then I'll post the list in the first post I made in this thread for everyone's reference as we go along. This'll go on for a long time, but it should be interesting.
Additionally, for those who've yet to make a film selection (listed as "Unchosen"), I'll update the list when you give me that information. Of course I would expect each member to have a film selected at least a month before their turn to give people the chance to get the film.
