TBD on Ning
Film of the Month
TF suggested we have a film of the month and we all watch it and then we can discuss it (like a book club). Anyone in for this and have a suggestion for our first film?
We could even pose themes and questions prior to watching the film to give us things to think about and look for when watching the film! First of all who is in and then what should we watch first?

Good idea as long as we all have TCM on cable, lol. Looks like 12 angry men there with a young Jack Klugman and a few other stars I can't remember the names of.

There was an episode of the TV show "Charmed" that used the same theme of 12 people (Politically correct phrase - ugh!) on a jury with one dissenting voice. The film (movie) was charmed with a great story, script, an excellent cast who were all on top form. Henry Fonda, as usual, was magnificent.

My son took a literature on film class in college and I sat in on it......and soooooo many of the students,didn't like any of the movie classics.....it's a shame really that they are bored so easily by older movies and closed minded to films from the past.
I thought it was us "old people" who were the ones that are spose to be closed minded....lol -

You have to really work with them - but part of it is that the entertainments of today do not require the same kind of attention span - everything seems slow to them when it "builds" to tension for us!

WS I was totally shocked that the kids HATED Citizen Kane! I always thought Citizen Kane was a powerful story and I loved the way it was filmed,it added to the intensity of the story line of the characters as they slowly deteriorate
It was hard to see such indifference for that great film. -
