> [@](#): > > I’ve got all the movies listed so far on DVD so I’ll probably join in but as a suggestion how about checking out the TCM schedule and picking a film that will be aired there? It makes for easy availability for everyone and I’d be shocked if you can’t find something worthy of discussion airing in the early evening on the channel in a given two week period. That would actually make it more difficult for me personally. I own all of the movies that have been mentioned so far (which probably says too much about my movie collection) but I don’t have TCM. And I like the idea of being able to pick virtually any movie rather than be limited to what’s being broadcast this week. ---

Are some of these movies available on youtube? Or am I being a philistine for even suggesting this? Also, please tell me I am NOT the only one who reads the title as the SDMB Fight Club. ---

July 18: Casablanca August 1: Seven Samurai August 15: 12 Monkeys August 29: Sunset Blvd. September 12: Chinatown September 26: City of God October 10: The General October 24: El Mariachi November 7: Vertigo I’d suggest we take a break on further suggestions for now. I don’t think we should commit ourselves too far in advance. ---

I gather nominators will also be OPs? It might help to put each person’s name next to the film for ease of reference. ---

\*12 Monkeys \*may not be on YouTube, but _La Jetée_, which inspired it, is on YouTube. ---

> [@](#): > > I gather nominators will also be OPs? It might help to put each person’s name next to the film for ease of reference. If they want. If not, whoever else wants to start a thread on that date. I, for example, have a work schedule that puts my posting schedule at strange hours. I would suggest putting SDMB Film Club and the title of the movie in the thread title so people can find it. And a spoiler warning. So I’ll start a thread on July 18 called **SDMB Film Club: Casablanca (spoilers)** if nobody else does. But here are the people who suggested each movie: July 18: Casablanca (Little Nemo) August 1: Seven Samurai (Little Nemo) August 15: 12 Monkeys (Little Nemo) August 29: Sunset Blvd. (twickster) September 12: Chinatown (JohnT) September 26: City of God (A Spoonful of Awesome) October 10: The General (Just Some Guy) October 24: El Mariachi (Superfluous Parentheses) November 7: Vertigo (The New and Improved Superman) ---

I’ve found that you can find a lot of movie trailers on YouTube: [Casablanca](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8N2fsSxRQI) [Seven Samurai](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uu40a3ANFw) [12 Monkeys](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=322uZ5OO-WE) [Chinatown](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aifeXlnoqY) [City of God](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioUE_5wpg_E) [El Mariachi](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hqwCJFCFzk) [Vertigo](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0bV2gh4E7Y) ---

A reminder bump ---

A reminder/apology bump I just found out I’ll be working a forty hour weekend. This will cut into my posting time (as well as my sleeping and eating and living time). So I won’t be able to start a _Seven Samurai_ thread until at least Sunday evening. If anyone else wants to start one ahead of that, feel free to do so with my thanks.
