QC - may I suggest some kind of standards for the movies that are picked?
e.g. Educational, highly thought-provoking, extremely well done, amazing acting/casting/cinematography/score
And perhaps we could rate movies on these fundamentals.
For instance:
Planet of the Apes (1968)
Casting - 4/5
Acting - 5/5
Score - 3/5
Cinematography - 5/5 (considering the era and technology)
Thought provoking index - 5/5
And so forth.
This way the book club could be more than just "watching movies and chatting about them", but also a vehicle for bettering our understanding of the craft of film making, delving deeper into significant topics, and an exercise in analysis as a whole.
