Picking Movies for June

The Purple Rose of Cairo was the clear second choice in our inaugural movie poll, so it seems only fitting that it be the lead movie for June. But what should the theme be?

I’ve not seen Purple Rose of Cairo, so it’s a little hard for me to speculate without spoiling the movie for myself by reading plot synopses. But I gather from the capsule description that it involves the “show within a show” construction, which might be a very interesting theme to work with.

Off the top of my head, I thought of several other movies that share this trait:

  1. Shakespeare in Love

  2. Noises Off

  3. Bullets Over Broadway

  4. Singin’ in the Rain

  5. Hail, Caesar!

  6. Adaptation

To me that seems like a pretty interesting way to connect the movies for June. Members, what do you think? Also, if we did that theme, are there other notable movies with this theme that should be added to the list for consideration?

Well if the Coen's are on the list, you can pretty much suggest any of them as they all contain some version of "show within a show", so let's throw their (arguably) most accessible iteration into the ring: The Big Lebowski

I will just continue with my ulterior motive of trying to get your reactions on bad movies that can stand their own against sea quest. So please watch

Tammy and the T-Rex

1994 ‧ Sci-fi/Comedy
