Movie Club

[Jersey]

it's from '57... BUT there is a remake from the 90's with James Gandolfini, Jack (uhh) Lemon... (is that his name, from Grumpy Old Men?)

 

[Obdurate]

Oh but we gotta watch the original! If it gets picked, that is.

 

[charLIE2291]

Just read up on "12 Angry Men". Looks like a good flick, that could lead to good discussion.

Which version is better?

 

[Jersey]

Hmm.. the old version is a classic... the newer one is easier on the eyes...but the remake does stick to the original story, so it's a toss up I guess..

 

[charLIE2291]

I like older, low budget films personally.

Only prob could be finding a copy to watch.

 

[Obdurate]

Let's watch the original.

 

[GraceAbounds]

What movie is that?

Also as far as the other folks ... I'd pm all of them ... give em' a little reminder.

 

[Peter Parka]

Great ideal!!!

Count me in.

Just throwing it out there, but American History X would be great for discussion.

:homo:

I'm not sure what you're talking about. 12 Angry Men? Here's a synopsis of it:
The defence and the prosecution have rested and the jury is filing into the jury room to decide if a young Spanish-American is guilty or innocent of murdering his father. What begins as an open and shut case of murder soon becomes a mini-drama of each of the jurors' prejudices and preconceptions about the trial, the accused, and each other. Based on the play, all of the action takes place on the stage of the jury room.

I'm sorry if I misunderstood what you were asking.



And so, we have 2 votes for 12 Angry Men and 2 for American History X.
Edit: Oh wait, did charLIE2291 change his vote to 12 Angry Men?

I prefer the original black and white movie. It's makes a good point about the jury system, when it comes to people and their prejudices.

 

[Jersey]

I have the bestest ideas sometimes

 

[Obdurate]

So is it fair to say that 12 Angry Men will probably be the first MoTM (movie of the month)?

I vote for American History X

I thought you were saying ... let's watch the original.

And I thought 'The Original' was the name of a movie title. And I was thinking ... hmmmm ... I've never heard of that one before ... lol

 

[NicAuf]

I actually just bought 12 angry men the other day, and know i've read the posts on here, what a coincidence.

My vote stays with AHX.

Im cool with anything really, would give me a chance to see something new<---and by that i mean American History X:ninja

 

[Obdurate]

Haha aw crap. I'm really going for 12 Angry Men.

 

[charLIE2291]

I hope this actually gets going. I would hate to see such a good idea go to waste.

I say just pick a movie and go with it.

 

[Obdurate]

Yeah Jersey, pick a movie

 

[Jersey]

How about we do 12 Angry Men for June and promise American History X for July???

If that's the case, everyone should have watched the movie byt the 15th or so, so we can have 2 weeks to discuss....

 

[Obdurate]

Okay!
I think we should start a new thread for the actual discussion. Want me to do that? I can do it, pick me, pick meeeee!
