how about Rocky 10, Adriens revenge...
Over the weekend?
Dang, if only Netflix could get it here by then.
:mope:
I think we're going to need to decide a week ahead of time to give people a chance to get the movie
Okay....so when do we start the discussion? Should we go ahead and start the voting on the next movie so we can get that too? That category is historical drama.

Historical drama? The guns of Navarone.
I'd say Cleopatra but it's very looooong. It's very good though.
We have a 3 way tie :shrug: what do we do?
Dave? You picked the Island? If so, wanna be the tie breaker so we can all rent something?
I will be now looking for nominations for Historical Drama.
I have 1 nomination for Guns of Navarone and I put forth Shakespeare in Love. So PM me your nominations for Historical Drama.

I must admit...the movies I love the most are the ones that are not considered "quality movies". I watch movies for entertainment value.

ooo... how about the 1989 version of Henry V? ... the one with Kenneth Branagh.
What's he that wishes so?
My cousin Westmoreland? No, my fair cousin:
If we are mark'd to die, we are enough
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires:
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England:
God's peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one man more, methinks, would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made
And crowns for convoy put into his purse:
We would not die in that man's company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is called the feast of Crispian:
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say "To-morrow is Saint Crispian":
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars
And say "These wounds I had on Crispin's day."
Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day: then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words
Harry the king, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
Be in their flowing cups freshly remember'd.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember'd;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

I'm voting for Unc's suggestion. After dealing with Cramp, I'll need a refresher of culture.
You know, Shakespeare in Love is hardly crap.
Professur

Well .... Not when compared to Cramp, it isn't. But then, fresh dog turds aren't that bad when compared to an open cesspit either. Doesn't mean I want to be rolling around in it.
May I remind you this was your idea?

I've had lots of ideas that I've never wanted anything to do with. Had plenty I've regretted.

Haven't seen it yet, but I'll keep in on the clipboard. I don't expect it to change much.

Well, you were right about something, you would have never watched the crank otherwise (and me neither). :lol:
edit: I just read that you haven't seen it.

Exactly the point of this sort of club, Luis. Exactly the point. I just didn't expect the initial dive to sink so deep.
Yeah...I doubt I ever would have seen it either - TBH
I just remember that Spirit said it was good and had a great sex scene :shrug:

We still haven't actually done anything. Do we need to call the whole thing off? The enthusiam 'round here leaves much to be desired.
Um...Rob? We have until the 22nd to watch the movie...

Well, I didn't know if I should get a smilie or a boner. I ended up with both.

The chaos and bad-mouthing is all part of the club mentality. After all, we all get first impressions, good or bad, from the ads. Then we watch it and comment on the later impressions, favorite scenes, scenes that disgust us the most, etc. That's how it works.

:tim:
just watched Crank.
i'll hold my opinions till the 22nd
So the movie was funny enough, way exagerated but funny to watch. Action sequences were nice. Story line is poor. The sex scene was great.
didnt like it. typical whats-his-name movie.
