Movie Nights...

[per_solo]

So, I'm likely to start doing "Movie Nights" again, with the help of friends..

Now, the question is...themes...

The one that came out today when i thought about it was "Superheroes", or "Comic to Film"...

Ya know, Superman...Batman..Batman Begins, X-Men, X-Men 2, Spiderman 1 and 2...The Crow..the problem is, that would have to be a Movie Day...

So, what other movie themes do you see? Suggestions? :-)

We were going to have a Sarcastic Ghetto Movie night and watch things such as Soul Plane, Friday, Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood, and the like. Refreshments would be fried chicken and malt liquor.

It never came to fruition, though, partiallhy due to the host's apartment complex recently having been scheduled for demolition in order to build a Wal-Mart (I'm not kidding).

Nice...must steal a few of those. :-)

Very nice...I've sent that along, as I laughed at the idea...I really like the idea for refreshments...:-)

Will let you know if we pull it off...thanks.

That totally depends on how many movies have to be in the list to make it a "night".

[per_solo]

A "night" would likely be 3-6 movies...depends totally on how late folks want to stay and stay up watching...

The concept of a movie night with more than 1-2 movies is beyond me. I prefer one movie/night. I'd have theme months :). But that's just me. I know your appetite for media is insatiable.

Well, you could always do a "chick flicks guys can watch" night, or a John Cusack night. I was going to suggest 80's night, but confusedjew beat me to it. You could, of course, narrow that down further & do a John Hughes night. ;)

Of course, from personal preferences (other than the ones above) I'd be inclined to go with a Jimmy Stewart or a Katherine Hepburn night. Maybe a Cary Grant night, or a Bogart night (which might dovetail into noir, depending on how you did it).

Didn't we try to do a Kevin Smith night a couple years ago?

[per_solo]

Yeah...good calls. :-) I want to think we tried to do a KS night sevearl years ago...we did a "Not your typical Horror" night a ways before that...

That was fun..Poltergeist, Frighteners, and I can't recall what else...

I'm thinking the first one is going to be a 2 movie "Life is what you make it" night...Do something like Garden State AND Elizabethtown. :-) Will see how that pans...

Really, anymore it depends on what the group feels like, or how long and all that...I'm fine with a 2 movie, movie night. :-P

So, the question always comes in sequence and all...I know one night we did 4 horror films, which worked well...some like to stay til odd hours.

Of course, I've backed out early on the last few...and think I'm still taking lumps for the last, where I was, I think, the one who organized it, and showed up just for a little bit. :-)
