This is it, this is really happening then. I mentioned late last year that I was going to kick off a film club on the blog (and blogged about it here: Announcing the Film Club) in the hope I could see “must see” films that I haven’t seen but the rest of world have, or revisiting films that I adore and think others might not have seen such as Abigail’s Party. Or maybe we could have a big love in and all watch something like Grease for umpteenth time and see if we can all watch at the same time and tweet along.
To be honest I haven’t really thought beyond that so far.
And that means I didn’t even get organised enough to buy the film that I promised a friend would be the first one (A western that I have now forgotten and need to search through my favourites on Twitter and find).
American Beauty is a film that is on our pile of DVDs at home but is one I haven’t seen, well not all the way through. It received rave reviews when it was released in 1999. It won five Oscars.
But does that make it any good?
I am going to watch it this week and will report back next Saturday when I announce the next film.
Watch American Beauty with me this week, write about it, and link up. Or leave me a comment below if you watched it and either loved it or hated it.
If you do blog about it I have made a little badge on the right over there if you fancy using it, you don’t have to.
Leave me suggestions of films for the future too, I am now making a list.
Brilliant idea though am still laughing at ‘I’m not a sodding potato’ :o)
Hahaha…. I AM A DUCK. It is amazing how many people see my avatar and think otherwise so I changed my blog tagline as a joke and it has kind of stuck 🙂
Oooh! I’ll have to pop to the second hand gaming place tomorrow and hope they have it.I’ve watched once when it came out and vaguely remember the plot.
I’ve not seen this, but has been in the back of my mind as one of them films I should watch!
I’ll be interested to hear what you think of it! The first time I watched it was in Germany and I was totally baffled. I thought maybe I just hadn’t understood the language enough but when I watched it in English I found I was still pretty darn confused lol if you could explain what it’s all about, that would be great 😉
Ah crumbs, I’ve just seen this after a break for a Jan catch-up (and tax return!). Might be too late to blog about American Beauty (which I watched, years, ago, and loved) but I’m looking forward to finding out what your next pick is! Will we be able to make suggestions, in future weeks?
