LimeGreenLegend 4,280 Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 The results are in for our festive film extravaganza. First up is the traditional film, with the winner being... Nominated by @Squirrel, the Chris Columbus directed, John Hughes scripted 1990 classic Home Alone. And the alternative Christmas film is... Nominated by @djw180, Brazil, a dystopic vision of an Orwellian future from the mind of Monty Python member Terry Gilliam. I was a little disappointed that The Star Wars Holiday Special didn't win, as it's legendarily bad and something I haven't seen before, but the integrity of the wheel must be maintained! I'm still going to watch it though, and there's a good quality version on YouTube, so if anyone wants to join me... I'll do the sperate threads for the winning films sometime tomorrow, got too much sh*t to do right now followed by 12 hours of work. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/16729-rsc-film-club/page/40/#findComment-230178 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrel 5,180 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 When I saw that I had been tagged in this thread I feared the worst. For those who haven’t seen the holiday special, even being told that it is bad doesn’t prepare you enough for how bad it actually is. Home Alone is a classic though so happy that’s been selected. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/16729-rsc-film-club/page/40/#findComment-230179 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimeGreenLegend 4,280 Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 It's a new year for the film club and the first chance to nominate a genre in 2021, even though it is a few days later than usual. I'm hoping 2021 will be a happier year than 2020, so will be nominating a genre to kick the year off right, Musicals. (sorry @Con) Nominations will be open for a couple of days before being drawn 🙂 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/16729-rsc-film-club/page/40/#findComment-231486 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, 2020 was a brutal year in so many ways. Not even movies could help us escape the hell.

djw180 6,985 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I've had enough of my picks come up recently. So no nomination from me for genre nor film.

LimeGreenLegend 4,280 Posted January 9, 2021 Author Share Posted January 9, 2021 And the first genre for 2021 is... Sorry @Con, the wheel can be cruel sometimes. Do you want to pick the winning film sometime on Monday? As for my nomination, I was gonna pick one of my favourites, Little Voice, but instead I'm gonna go with something I've not seen before, Dancer in the Dark. It's by Lars von Trier, who usually makes very controversial and confrontational films like The Idiots and Antichrist, so I can't wait to see what he does with a musical. It also stars Björk, so there's that. Can't wait to see what you had in mind @Squirrel, it can't be weirder than my pick 😛 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/16729-rsc-film-club/page/40/#findComment-231584 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrel 5,180 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 My chosen musical features the vocal talents of Stan Bush with his songs The Touch and Dare. 😉 Running joke aside, my actual pick for this months musical is Labyrinth featuring the epic musical writing of David Bowie. I actually watched it last weekend so it’s still fresh in my mind 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/16729-rsc-film-club/page/40/#findComment-231591 Share on other sites More sharing options...
