Film Club or Goggle box? - votes please!

The second week of my new film club was Enigma (2001 film) and it got more interest than the first week but still no reviews of the film yet - I think only one person apart from me watched it?

A suggestion has been put forward that maybe we should have a vote on what to watch. If you want to vote on a movie, I have 3 to choose from which are all available for free on the channel 4 app. They are:

Team America - World Police (2004) - A South Park style homage to Thunderbirds (Warning - bad language)

Dr Who and the Daleks (1965) - Nostalgic Dr Who in black & white

The Land That Time Forgot (1974) - Dinosaurs!

If you are interested in watching and discussing one of the films above, please let me have your vote. But if people aren't interested in a Film Club like this, the other option is to have a "Goggle Box" thread where people post  a review of what they watched each week. So if you prefer that, let me know.

  • My review of the land that time forgot:

    This was very slow to start (they didn't get to the land until nearly half way through!) and there was a lot of fighting between the English and the Germans on the U boat that blew up their ship. The dinosaurs were a bit of a disappointment - just shows how far animation improved between then and Jurassic Park. To be fair they didn't have CGI then, but the models looked like kids toys and movement wasn't realistic. I didn't really understand the "scientific explanation" that was given for why there was life at all stages of evolution living in one undiscovered place. To sum up: wooden acting and rubber dinosaurs made for a poor film. 5 /10.

    Going forward, I will start a new "Goggle Box" thread each weekend and post my "film of the week" on it. Then anyone can post about what they watch that week (anything, not just films)
