We thought it would be good to field suggestions from active members. Just reply to this thread with the title and media (e.g. Alien – Movie) and we’ll do the rest. It’ll help if the suggestion is for an easily accessible, free or very cheap subject, along with any tips on the best way to get hold of it.

We Talk
Bit Like a Book Club 
I’ll start – LA Confidential (The movie), There.
Good start. I approve. I don’t know how we could work it but I’m going to suggest the board game Agricola. We’d probably have to arrange a seperate meeting just to play it.
I like the idea of seeing movies that most people haven’t already seen… which made me think a cinema trip could be a cool idea to ensure no-one’s seen it already? Maybe for when The Hobbit comes out, or maybe something more obscure?
Great idea. I like the idea of viewing slightly less mainstream stuff at the cinema, but I’m up for watching anything to be honest.
With Kim’s cinema suggestion in mind I would like to offer up “Looper“. Time-travel sci-fi with noir and western flavour, apparently. Just about everything I love. It’s in cinemas now and I think would make a good topic for the November BLAB.
I’m adding something for the December Blab – Christmas Films. All of them. What makes a good one?
Don’t think I’ve seen many… But I am a fan of the Muppet’s Christma carol 🙂
So, more of a general topic than a specific movie? Sounds good.
Sadly I cannot make the next meeting! I had thoughts about a to talk about in Decemeber, The Great Escape. Though with it being Christmas talking about a Chritmas movie would be appropriate. Having never seen it, though rated by many as one of the greatest Christmas related films of all time. Could I suggest It’s A Wonderful Life?
This is worth looking at between now and the next meeting. http://bombsight.org/#15/51.5050/-0.0900 It’s an interactive map showing the location of bombs dropped on London during World War II. It shows the devastation caused by the Blitz over eight months.
