Welcome to the BigFooty Movie Club!
It's a simple concept. Each week, we all watch a movie and discuss it in this thread. Easy.
On Monday morning, a poll will be posted with a list of movies that everyone can vote on and the highest voted film by midnight Thursday (Sydney time) will be the one we start watching/discussing the next day (i.e. Friday). I'll include info on how you can download/stream the movie legally once the film is decided upon, but if there is nothing available, then we'll go to the movie with the second-highest number of votes etc.
I'll update a log of each week's choice and link directly to the first post starting start of that discussion in the OP for easy reference.
If you have a recommendation for a theme for voting (e.g. Tom Hanks films, 1980s Oscar winners, Top 10 on IMDB), just let me know either in this thread or by PM.
This week (Sports Documentaries) - Murderball
Last week (Jack Nicholson Movies) - Chinatown
Week #1 (1980s Oscar Winners) - Rain Man

Original OP:
Just wondering if anyone would be keen to do a BigFooty Movie Club? The format I was thinking is that each week we'd all watch/discuss the same movie before moving onto the next one. Simple!
There would be no pressure to be a part of the thread every week, but you'd need to watch the movie during that week to be a part of the discussion. That way people wouldn't be relying on a possibly faulty memory of the film and if it is one you know well, the re-watch might open up some new thoughts on it.
I'm open to how we choose the movies. A couple of ideas I had was to have a vote each week for what the next week's movie should be, or simply watch the Oscar-winning Best Picture from each year.
Comment to register your interest and/or make suggestions for the format and we can aim to start in a couple of weeks time.
