Summer of Burt Lancaster!

THIS IS NOT AN IN-PERSON MEETUP! It's not even a virtual meetup! It's a "watch together and discuss on Letterboxd" film series.

The Summer of Burt Lancaster will take place on this list on the DCC Letterboxd page. Every two weeks I will post a Burt Lancaster film, and we will discuss it in the comments of the list. You can RSVP to this Meetup event to be notified each time a new film is posted. (Letterboxd is free to join and very useful and fun!)

Why Burt Lancaster? He wasn't on my radar until a few organizers saw and either loved or hated his apparently-polarizing 1968 film The Swimmer. Subsequent conversations with a few Lancaster-loving organizers piqued my interest further. He wasn't just a Hollywood studio beefcake dude. He made interesting film choices and worked with a surprising roster of acclaimed directors (like Stanley Kramer, Bernardo Bertolucci, Louis Malle, and John Frankenheimer). But I've never seen a single one of his films. So I thought I'd try to recruit some other folks from the group into diving into his filmography with me.

Absolutely no requirements, watch what you want, participate in discussion if you're so moved. We'll see where this goes - it's a new thing!
