you dont have to download, most sites offer the option to stream OR download

i'd suggest a couple i always like to use but i don't wanna get banned haa

"A New Jersey mad doctor (James Lorinz) rebuilds his girlfriend (Patty Mullen) with body parts from exploded hookers."
Is this a serious suggestion? List

It's actually a great good film but I thought I'd also suggest some different stuff. A lot of the people are suggesting quite known mainstream films so I think it would be a good idea to watch some stuff maybe unheard of

[Circadia]

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is also good

[Empired]

i've just seen The Cake Eaters and it was good to begin with but turned creepy as **** about 50 minutes in
wouldn't recommend to anyone else interested tbh

[thms]

when does this start

[Phil]

I assume it starts when New Year hits

[Yupt]

Can I just ask which Cape Fear it is? I have both on DVD anyway but I wasn't sure if anyone else realised that there are actually two. Maybe we could do both and compare the differences.

dunno if it's been said

oh and the color purple
@Kyle; i been dying to watch that film since it was number 1 on the list

Added both of them, can’t believe ET wasn’t already on there!

@The Don; when are we going to vote for the films we want to see? Wait, is it a vote?

Also is it possible to organise the voting so we HAVE to have at least one film of every genre? Even if most ppl hate romance for example, 1 film of 52 won't kill anyone. I just don't want to be stuck with all 52 films being horror, thriller or drama. The reason i wanna take part is so i can see a variety of films i wouldn't consider watching on my own.

I’m going to keep taking suggestions until tomorrow at midnight. Then I’ll do a random number generator to get 26 films selected (I’ll split the films into genres to make sure there’s some variance) and then the other 26 will be voted.

It's actually a great good film but I thought I'd also suggest some different stuff. A lot of the people are suggesting quite known mainstream films so I think it would be a good idea to watch some stuff maybe unheard of

Haha fair enough, I’ll add it to the list.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is also good

Added

when does this start

Voting will start Monday, the first film will be posted on New Years Day

Can I just ask which Cape Fear it is? I have both on DVD anyway but I wasn't sure if anyone else realised that there are actually two. Maybe we could do both and compare the differences.

I had the remake with Robert De Niro in mind. Didn't even realise there was an earlier one if i'm honest! I would do both but I think there should be variance since there's only 52 films so don't really want to put two of the same film in.

@The Don; If you like you can make a new thread when announcing and I'll sticky it for you. Or otherwise I could sticky this one and we can continue from here?
