Casey and I have gotten pretty far ahead of schedule in our movie viewing, so we wanted to set up a poll to pick what movies we watch in August! I’ve randomly selected five categories from the Movie Picking Megathread. The choices are:
Bleak Future: Metropolis, Akira, Children of Men, Mad Max: Fury Road
Movies Based on a Play: A Streetcar Named Desire, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Glengarry Glen Ross, Fences
Spy Movies: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, No Way Out, Three Days of the Condor, North by Northwest
Dance Movies: Saturday Night Fever, Dirty Dancing, Black Swan, The Red Shoes
Ensemble Cast: Magnolia, Pulp Fiction, 12 Angry Men, Spotlight
We’re excited to see what you pick!
Just a thought, if ensemble movies get picked it might be interesting to swap out “Spotlight” for Robert Altman’s “Nashville.” It’s very well regarded and was also a big influence on “Magnolia.” Could be interesting to compare them.
