Official OT Film Club - **Updated 6/6 - Preliminary voting round**

I am founding the OT Film Club, which has been inspired by Bruce's book club. The purpose of this club is for us to watch movies and discuss them with each other. Please use this thread to nominate films.

I will pick 5 that have a decent amount of popular support and represent a healthy variety of genres and make a poll for votes. There will then be a run-off election between the 2 movies with the most votes (unless one has over 50% of the votes from the first round), and that will be the movie that we watch until the next one. I hope for us to be able to watch a new movie every week, perhaps more if there is enough activity.

I nominate Dogville (2003).

List of previous discussion movies (these movies are closed from future votes)

- The Conversation (1974)

- Dark City (1998)

- City of God (2002)

- The American (2010)

Not a movie but I'd suggest you guys watch Bible Black.

When you name drop random short experimental films that is kinda trying too hard.

(albeit with films I really do love)

Yes. Why doesn't he. 

actually you should all watch La JeteeWolfattheDoor34

Why would they want to watch 12 Monkeys in slide show form?

Guys keep discussion primarily on the films
