Film Fridays (if interested, read and post here!) « Thread Started on Oct 7, 2008, 11:45pm »
Hello everyone! #smiley_wave#
Got this idea from another forum ...
To any of you who are movie aficionados here like me and you are interested in participating with our very own Film Fridays here @ P&P Board...post here and let us know. We need your participation, of course...the more the merrier. Feel free to join us, if you love to watch movies and you want to participate here. This will be something fun for us all forum members to do here. So, come on, join me. Perhaps we can start this very soon. I'm thinking this Friday, if it's possible and we get at least 3-5 participants to join us and we're good to go.
Here's how this works...
In the beginning of every week (Mon, Tues., or Wednesday), we should list here and pick, suggest, or recommend a movie (whether old or new, in our dvd collection, rented/netflix, instant viewing online, or whatever we pick that's currently showing in theaters, etc.) for all of us to watch on Fridays. Each participants must list here in this thread a few or more movie titles per week to suggest/recommend, so we can pick at least 2 films per week. Why 2 films, you might ask? Well, one movie for the first Friday and the second one for the next Friday viewing. On Fridays, we watch the movie that was pick for that week. On the following Friday, participants will post here in this thread about the movie seen the previous Friday (I'll either post my thoughts/review of the movie we've seen here or blog it in my Movies Blog here...or both). We will discuss the movie we've seen here in this thread or in my In the Mood for Movies Blog or both...whichever we decide to discuss the movie. Then, the next movie for that week will be presented in the same day.
Get it? What do you think? Interested If so, please reply and post here asap! Thanks.

Thanks foreverfan for posting. Glad you're interested. Hopefully, we'll have more participants. It'll be fun and something we'll surely enjoy doing in this forum. Don't worry, each participant will get to post a list of movies of his/her pick. Then, we can pick at least 1-2 movies per week to watch, whichever the majority picked to watch, we'll be watching.

I would love to participate, but my Friday's are pretty busy and I don't have many movies. My collection is extremely small, numbering in only about a dozen. My bro's have some movies, but they're not romance (3:10 to Yuma, No Country for Old Men, I am legend-all movies I still haven't seen). So I guess what I'm saying, is that I may be able to participate every once in a while, depending on the movie. But I don't want that to affect what everyone else chooses.

Stephie, I'm sure you can join us on Fridays (or if you can't, perhaps we can change this to Movie Mondays ) as we'll only watch one movie per week. It'll be us watching on our own time at home any time of the day, depending on when you wanna watch it yourself on that Friday or on the weekends if you couldn't watch it that day. Besides, we won't be posting/discussing about the movie anyways till the next Friday after...so, you actually have a week and plenty of time to watch the movie we pick on Fridays. Then, we can post about it here the following Friday and we'll have the next movie picked to watch the following week, if you get what I mean.
Btw, you can always rent a movie that isn't from your DVD collection or we can also include Twilight movie here (as it's definitely one of the movies we both are looking forward to seeing in theaters next month ) or any movies that will be in theatrical release soon.

That sounds so interesting! Though, like stephie, I have such small collection - and I don't know if I have time to watch movies (y'all can probably guess why ).
But I'll keep checking out - and maybe join in once in a while ?

Thanks foreverfan (again ) and Liz for the interest. And if Stephie is for sure in her interest in joining us...I'll list the participants to keep track on this below:
So far, we have 4 participants (including myself ) for Film Fridays...
1. Jeane 2. foreverfan 3. Stephie 4. Liz
Anyone else want to join us on this Feel free to post here and let us know.
Ok, now that we have at least 4 participants, we can start listing/posting our individual movie picks for our first Film Friday event here. Feel free to start posting at least 2-5 movies you'd like to see or suggest for everyone to see on Fridays. As soon as everyone has their list posted, we can narrow them down to two and take our pick that everyone wants to see the most for that week to watch. As for the movies that didn't get pick for that week, we can always pick them for the next viewing...so, worry not if they didn't get pick on the first Friday viewing.

foreverfan, feel free to post your movie picks, anytime.
Here are my Movie Picks...
(or recommendation/suggestion in no particular order)
1. The Duchess * (starring Keira Knightley) - In theaters now! 2. Twilight * (starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson) - In theaters November 21 (reserved for that date ) 3. Nights In Rodanthe * (starring Diane Lane, Richard Gere) - In theaters now! 4. North & South (starring Richard Armitage, Daniela Denby-Ashe) 5. Red Eye (starring Rachel McAdams)
*3 of them are new that I haven't seen yet and are currently showing in theaters. The other 2, I've already seen before, but would love to repeat viewing again as I haven't seen them in a while.

I'm running short on funds at the moment, so the movie theaters is pretty much out for me (except for Twilight, I won't miss that one no matter what), even renting is questionable but I'll try.
I own these ones: North & South Red Eye Pride & Prejudice (2005) Night at the Museum Kate and Leopold any of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies
But again don't feel that you need to make your decisions based on me.

Thanks Stephie, foreverfan, and Liz for the replies and of course, for posting your movie picks.
Ok, so let's compile the list of movies we've all suggested here (so far) for our first ...
Movie Picks for Film Fridays
The Duchess Twilight Nights At Rodanthe Red Eye North & South Pride & Prejudice (2005) Night At The Museum National Treasure Pirate of The Carribean Movies
Girls, feel free to add more....so we'll have plenty of movies here to pick from.
Here are a few more (for now) ...
- Step Up - Becoming Jane - Bend It Like Beckham
Looks like we all have P&P and N&S in our list...perhaps, we can choose 1 of those 2 movies first to watch on our first Film Fridays. What do ya'll think Also, we can start watching our first movie pick for this week, this Friday...if ya'll are up to it. Let me know, so we can start it this week if not, next Friday.
If you're all interested for this friday to be our first Film Friday event here, we can now start choosing our first movie to watch this week. My first pick would be our favorite: P&P, of course, as I haven't watched it in a while. N&S would be 2nd for the following Friday. What's yours
