Con 5,719 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) Here is a film I bought a very, very long time ago and never watched it. I nominate: I usually will nominate something different once my selection has already received a nom but I have always wanted to watch this and i haven't had my Naomi Watts fix in a long time, so im with DJ.

djw180 7,006 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 (edited) I need to start placing bets on roulette wheels the luck I'm having with these spins. I love Mullholland drive, it's one of those films I will never tire of watching. And a bit like my horror pick, you probably won't understand what has happened right after it finishes (even more so in this case I think). In fact I seem to recall David Lynch being quoted as saying it was made to be deliberately confusing because he wanted people to start discussing it on line right after seeing it. And very happy to see Hunt for Red October win as it's one of those films I have never seen but feel I should have done by now.

The only thing I remember was 'pay attention to the telephone and the lamp'. I think I just found it. I'll quote it here: "The idea leading his viewers on a paper-chase seems a little unconvincing as it goes against Lynch's usual habit of letting his work stand alone. I think you have to consider the fact that Lynch was pressured to come up with these clues by the French production company that was losing millions. When these were released the film was a disaster financially and the general buzz at that time was there was no plot to figure out. I think the clues are important and relevant but not necessarily the 10 clues Lynch would really give if he wanted us to figure out what his exact intentions were. He had said before these were released and after they were released that he would never reveal what MD meant to him, it was up to everyone to have their own vision." 1. Pay particular attention to the beginning of the film: At least two clues are revealed before the credits. 2. Notice appearances of the red lampshade. 3. Can you hear the title of the film that Adam Kesher is auditioning actresses for? Is it mentioned again? 4. An accident is a terrible event … Notice the location of the accident. 5. Who gives a key, and why? 6. Notice the robe, the ashtray, the coffee cup. 7. What is felt, realised and gathered at the club Silencio? 8. Did talent alone help Camilla? 9. Note the occurrences surrounding the man behind 'Winkies'. 10. Where is Aunt Ruth? 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/16729-rsc-film-club/page/39/#findComment-228991 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrel 5,180 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) Traditional: Home Alone Alternative: Gremlins I thought about the Star Wars Holiday special but no one deserves to be put through that. There is the new version but that’s Disney plus only so it’s very limited for who can watch it.
