I thought it would be fun if we could start a club here and watch 1 classic movie a week. We could vote for the movie we want to watch each week. Depending on what channels everyone has (TCM) or if they have netflix/amazon prime that is how we can choose a movie. Is anyone interested? Edited By: meems 08/07/2012 11:42 PM. Edited 8 times.

Whatever movie gets picked, if it's not on Netflix or Amazon Prime or Hulu, YouTube is a safe bet. These days, full films get uploaded in one chunk.

OP, I'm definitely interested. I love classic movies! I'm already watching a lot more TCM lately now that it's summer and all my shows are on break.

If we're gonna do this we need to do this the LEGIT WAY! The only way we should go to THAT demon seed place is if the film is out of print.

I have TCM and Netflix, so hopefully I won't have any issues. If anyone wants to get started, Some Like It Hot, The Apartment, The Bad Seed, and Rebel Without a Cause are all coming on TCM this weekend. Those are all great.

That site is pretty harmless.

It is also on Youtube for those without TCM. http://www.youtube.com/wa...aZ_s&feature=related

That site is pretty harmless. It IS harmful! If it isn't being shown on television where ratings can be tracked and will ultimately bring more classic films on dvd then it DOES harm. I am neither overreacting or faking. I respect film a lot. ESPECIALLY since we have such a hard time getting classics on dvd

If you want a movie on DVD, find out who owns the rights and start a campaign to get it released.

I'm sure you already know this. It's even harder to get classic films on dvd because they don't believe we watch them and from what they gather when they track the ratings when they're shown on television

Yeah we can discuss the film, the actors, genre and what makes it classic. Whatever you want. I think we will start picking movies by what people are able to watch. For this next week we will be discussing Some Like It Hot.
