    Not sure if this thread is dead or what but it’s the only place where Afire has been mentioned on this website. It’s currently streaming on the Criterion Channel. I watched it last night and was blown away, loved it. I love Petzold so not surprising, but the premise of this one wasn’t as enticing to me as say Transit or Phoenix. It delivered though, and it’s at least very close to those films in my personal ranking.

    It was fun when people participated but it always falls off.

    My buddy and I have a 52 week movie challenge book with 52 different prompts or categories, we’re only about 12 movies in so it’s still pretty much free game but it’ll be interesting once we get down to the last 20 or so and really have to start making some key choices.

    we don’t have much overlap as movie fans so it’s worked out well for stuff we haven’t seen. He usually picks older Hollywood stuff from the 40’s/50’s and I’m more fluent in contemporary arthouse.

    I could’ve used a warning on Afire, what a fucking gut punch. Last 20 minutes really elevate the film.

    Let's do another round, I'll do the admin

    Same rules as last time, I'll post to the entertainment thread

    Edit: It's a new list, previous participants won't be included unless they post to join round 2

    Rules for picking your movie:
    1.It must be easily available. That means a popular streaming service and/or digital rental. No one is buying some import DVD to watch it.
    2. The film should be older than two years old. We don't need to repeat recent conversations.
    3. The film should not be extremely well-known. There is no need to discuss a blockbuster like Avatar or a renowned canon masterpiece like Citizen Kane.

    Each Monday will be a new recommendation from the chosen member. The next member will choose the movie next Monday. We will go in the order of the posted list and new members will be added to the bottom until we finish the list and rotate back. Everyone is welcome post in the thread if you want to join in

    Please remove me. I just never found the time to participate and you don’t need a week where I space out when it’s my turn.
