Join us for our monthly movie discussion on Zoom! First up will be our regular icebreaker round where we go “around the room” and invite everyone to talk about a movie you’ve watched recently. Give us a short summary, how you saw it and a recommendation or a warning.
At 8 o'clock we'll pivot to a group discussion based on the theme for 2024, the once-a-decade Sight and Sound Greatest Films of All Time poll. For March we'll discuss one of the five classic Hollywood comedies on the top 100 list. The movie will be selected by popular vote - cast your vote using the link at the top of the event description. UPDATE: And the winner is... Singin' in the Rain edged out The Apartment for the top spot. One of the most beloved Hollywood classics, Singin' in the Rain is famous as a musical, a comedy and a Hollywood love letter to itself. How does it exemplify the studio era approach to storytelling and film technique? Do you need to know anything about silent movies to enjoy it? What are some of the ways it draws on different musical and dance styles? Join us as we discuss these questions and more.
You can find the full list at the British Film Institute (BFI) website: https://www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-sound/greatest-films-all-time
