Both Lew & I are participating in a bunch of these challenges (S&S, AFI, 1930s) and while the challenges are certainly serving their primary purpose for both us (exposing us to new films), the ensuing discussions are often hampered by the fact that everyone is watching these films at different times. For myself, if I haven't seen a film yet, I avoid the discussion to avoid spoilers, and when I do see it, the disussion is long since over. But that's just the nature of the beast with these challenges.
Anyway, Lew & I thought it might be fun to challenge each other to watch 5 films that the other one loves. At least we could have some discussion of why we agree (or more likely, disagree (amicably of course)) with each other about these. Of course, everyone is welcome to watch the films and join in the discussion.
The films (in alphabetical order) are:
All That Heaven Allows
Double Indemnity
A Hard Day's Night
Hopscotch
I'm All Right Jack
Ordet
Planes, Trains & Automobiles
Spirited Away
Throne of Blood
Toy Story
And if you don't know who's being challenged to watch which film, you don't know Lew or I very well.
