Just saw this other thread about the FNaF movie actually doing quite well at the box office, which apperently is much newsworthy and something I should care about. This here thing is popular, this and that is trending, read all about it. Yay. Well sure, it's quite nice they made their money back, but I felt it looked a bit overproduced and cookie-cutter like. Okay, haven't actually seen the blessed movie, but I've decided to hate it, so there!

I know about David Lynch, I know about Cronenberg, I know about J-horror, all that old stuff, but are there any contemporary horror movies which will screw me over? Something a bit more art-house and crazy? I've been a bit away from movie for the last decades, but I'm unsure if I'm out of the loop, or if there is anything to be out of the loop about.

I've just come from my latest rewatch of Blade Runner and its sequel. Two of my favourite films ever. I always find myself totally engrossed in the atmosphere of the films, and I often crave more of it.

This is the first movie we discuss of Academy Award Winners. Day for Night won for Best Foreign Language Film

I found this little intro from TCM by Steven Spielberg

Is it a worthy award winner? Have you seen other films by Truffaut? How does it compare to other films about filmmaking?

Edit: Voting closed

My initial post didn't get a lot of answers, but I am taking a gamble that maybe it will gain some traction if I just start it.

Every Monday I will post a topic for the movie of the week based on the voting results. We need 5 titles for each Monday - including October 30 this time around.

Going for a voting system in the hope that people will have a little more motivation to participate than if it was just pure random. To keep it manageable I propose we vote for the next month in advance - also to keep the number of voting posts to a minimum.

It will not be free for all, but will allow votes within a very broad category.

For November it will be Academy Award Winners (in any category). Can be sound, costumes, best supporting actress, foreign language, best picture or any of them - excluding shorts and documentaries for now (we could do that as a theme later).

Rules

• Must be a winner of at least one Academy Award (Oscar) in any category
• Feature film only (no shorts or documentaries)
• Only one nomination per user
• Please only nominate if you intent to participate

Use this list as inspiration.

Five most voted nominations will be done in random order on a Monday starting from the 30th of October.

If this goes well, I will post a new voting post in the end of November.
