"if i ran the local cinema...": dream double bills

[Sunspots]

it's merely responsible thread management, i'll have you know, whippersnapper

Alright, alright... -CHILL THE FUCK OUT, GRAMPS!!!

Serious point: didn't this thread start as some kind of call for suggestions for an urbanite-curated film night at The Cube?

-Or is it just an excuse for us to ramble on about long-forgotten obscurities???

well, at first it was just a dumping ground for people to stick up vaguely themed collections of films, then came the idea for an actual film night/season, but that sort of fizzled out a bit - but i think it would still be a good idea

This thread's been running for over a year now. I think we might actually have proven ourselves to be too slack even by The Cube's rather chilled standards.

i think we deserve a medal then

great, great thread

..now, about that film night..

 

[DotCommunist]

Suicide sunday

Leaving Las Vegas

Damn I can't think of anymore depressing films........help me out here

 

[King Biscuit Time]

Tiger Bay and This Sporting Life.

Some of the first films where 'real' British working class oiks were allowed on the silver screen.

I'd do a low budget apocalypse all nighter:

The Quiet Earth
The Last Wave
Night of the Comet
Last Night
Miracle Mile
The Rapture

 

[brianx]

I think I'd go for a theme
Repo Man & Quodrophenia
Annie Hall & Gregory's Girl
Casino & Goodfellas

Sorry but you can't have a list of journos abroad in war zones without including Salvador - James Woods drives to El Salvador to chronicle the events of the 1980 military dictatorship

Likewise you can't have a road movie night without "Death Race 2000"!

Pee Wee's Big Adventure
The Bicycle Thieves
The Icicle Thief
