1FF Film Club - General Chat

[Craig]

In line with my recent interest in the Balkans conflicts of the 90's I nominate Pretty Village, Pretty Flame (1996) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116860/ - pro-Serbian propaganda film or anti-war classic?

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Paths of Glory

 

[Benito]

 

[Craig]

Setting a deadline of midnight Wednesday for nominations.

 

[G.B]

 

[SALTIRE]

Fail Safe is my nomination (was thinking about Grave Of The Fireflies but that would just be too much to watch again and we've done Japanese for the week), even if it does come with the campest trailer for one of the most suspenseful and quite harrowing anti-war films ever made.

 

[Stevencc]

A Man Escaped

 

[Destruction]

I don't know if I can nominate if I'm not in the club but if I can, The Bridge on the River Kwai.

 

[Craig]

The club is open to whoever wants to participate, the more the better.

 

[Son of Cod]

Don't really like war films, don't think I've ever seen one I really liked, but I have Paths of Glory already downloaded so I will probably just vote for that.

 

[Dr Mantis Toboggan]

battle of algiers

 

[SALTIRE]

Don't really like war films, don't think I've ever seen one I really liked, but I have Paths of Glory already downloaded so I will probably just vote for that.

Its a very good film you won't be disappointed.

Try Small Soldiers as well, it's a classic.

something modern for a change

Kilo Two Bravo aka Kajaki

 

[Craig]

Bringing deadline forward a few hours, because we have 10 nominations and I wanna make a poll.

[Craig]

We won't be moving on to the next theme for about a week and I don't want to detract from the WAR thread, however, in order that everyone can get a selection in I will start taking nominations for our next theme, which will be SPORT.

A reminder that all previous themes will be linked in the OP so anyone wanting to watch them at a later date can do so and post their thoughts.

 

[Dr Mantis Toboggan]

what an awful theme

 

[Craig]

Sorry to disappoint you Ian, I mean you've been such active contributor so far, I'll think of another theme x

 

[Dr Mantis Toboggan]

thanks mate i appreciate it

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Is killing Scots considered sport? If so, Braveheart please.

 

[Craig]

No, well yes, but no to the nomination.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Harsh rules you have here. I'm not sure I like this club any more.

 

[Craig]

I nominate He Got Game (1998) - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0124718/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

 

[Benito]

Theme should be Mental Illness.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

[Martino Knockavelli]

[Son of Cod]

Is ZFG on the ropes with only The Damned United in his sports movies repertoire?

 

[Craig]

Sports films are abundant.
