HI! I have been thinking about how to make the movie choosing process easier for everyone so this is what I have come up with:

At the beginning of each week I will spin a wheel of movie genres to pick the genre for that weeks movie, after that I will open a form where you all can submit movies (ONE submission per person, if you say multiple in one response I will just go based off of the first one listed) and then I will go through those responses and pick 10 of either the most commonly said movies, or ones I think look more interesting and put them in a poll for you guys to vote on.

I think this is a good way to simplify the process a bit and also let everyone feel like they are playing a part in the choice.

To make sure everyone has ample time to submit their choice and vote, I will let everyone know the genre on Saturday immediately following the upload of that Saturday's movie, and the submissions will be open until Sunday evening.

Here are the genres ahead of time, so that you can think of what movies you would like to submit for each category: Action, War, Thriller, Comedy, Sci-fi/Fantasy, Drama/Romance, Horror, and Foreign (non Hollywood movies).

I have gotten several requests from people to have a higher paid tier to be able to request a specific movie but due to the fact that I am mostly watching shows right now and only posting 4 movies a month I won't add anything like that yet. Until I have finished at least one of the shows we are watching, I just don't have time unfortunately.

Disclaimer: If a movie does not win the poll, it can still be resubmitted in the future.

PS: If you don't like the movie that ends up getting picked, please keep it to yourself, it can ruin the experience for others, which I would like to avoid!

Hey Klaire have you seen the movie Oppenheimer directed by Christopher Nolan?

JustKris

Just to make sure, do comedy specials count in this? Under the comedy category or only ACTUAL Hollywood comedy movies

klaire

nope! if you list any movie, there's a 87% chance i've never seen it lol

David Girard

It’s a really good movie. I definitely recommend it. It’s my favorite movie from 2023 that’s the movie that Christopher Nolan won best director and won best pitcher and Robert Downey Jr. won best supporting actor and Cillian Murphy won best actor for that movie too

klaire

what is a comedy special

JustKris

Like a stand up comedy, like you’d see a Dave Chappell or Chris Rock, or Bill Burr doing. Usually they’re 1hr give or take, they tell jokes/stories etc

klaire

ohhh. no those are not included I don't have nay plans to react to stand up, etc.

Luis

Can you make a pre-1970s Classics genre please?

Clay F

Great idea. If you start doing time periods, my preference is modern genre 1970-2026 or 21st century 2001-2026.

JustKris

Ok🙂‍↕️, I’ll think some other things

I like this idea, sounds good. Just wondering do you think this could be used for tv shows in the future as well? I know you have Breaking Bad, HOTD and Knight of the Seven Kingdoms to watch which are long series but maybe once you are finished with one of them three, we could do the same concept again, it can even just be a mini series maybe?

Aidan

Sounds good! I feel like this is causing you some headache 😅 but I think you've got it worked out with this idea

It's a fair system, but some of the categories are a bit vague. For example 'foreign - non-hollywood movies' that definition would cover a LOT of films. For example, indie films that are still American but not hollywood, or all british movies, etc. It might be better to make it foreign language films, and indie and british movies can count among the other genres. Also, a lot of films don't fit neatly into one genre.

Is it really this deep mate
