It's the trailer. 

Yeah, was also thinking about watching 12 Angry Men.

I've made my decision, I think. Probably tonight or tomorrow I'm gonna get into the Worst Election Ever spirit by watching The Manchurian Candidate.

The original or the remake? Because not often are the remakes as good but Denzel, Liev Schreiber and Streep are great in the remake. Denzel is one of the actors who no matter what film they are in, they are always the best thing about it. Like Forrest Whittaker.

Yes, yes you should. Even Quincy M.E. is in it!

The original! I'll save the remake for the Election 2020 edition of EWB Film Club

I'm either going to go for The Apartment or To Kill a Mockingbird I think.

The book is amazing and the film is just as good. How often do the adaptation match up to the source materiel?

[Benjamin]

Guys, help me pick:

Judgement at Nuremberg

The Battle at Algiers

The Wild Bunch

The Dirty Dozen

[GoGo Yubari]

The Battle of Algiers. Watched it in a college class and enjoyed it.

Its amazing. I thought it was a documentary at first.

But The Dirty Dozen is a really good shout.

[Benjamin]

Oh thank god. I really, really want to watch it, but Judgement at Nuremberg is more than 3 hours long and there's no fucking way I have time for something that long so soon.

[Liam]

I would just like to add my love for 12 Angry Men. Awesome stuff.

I am having a hard time with this. It's not easy for me to feel the drama of a scene when no one is talking. It's like I am watching this amazing Sci-Fi movie but it's being performed by mimes

Oh man, just to make it tricky, I'd pick The Wild Bunch, one of the most effortlessly brilliant, brutal and outright cool films I've ever seen.

Yeah, I can totally get how silent film isn't for everyone, or how it lacks that kind of immediate drama. I remember being completely invested in the scope of Metropolis and the drama that come from the visual contrasts and just how immersive the whole world is it.

It's just so weird to see their mouths moving super fast with no words actually coming out. They don't even tell you what's being said half the time

I think the idea is that it forces you somewhat to read between the lines. Like all narratives across all media, we only get to truly see part of the story.

I was strongly considering Once Upon a Time in the West but I think it's gonna be too long. I'm seeing Dr. Strange and Hacksaw Ridge this week so I'm gonna want something shorter.

It's too bad My Name Is Nobody falls 3 years outside of the criteria, it's only 116 minutes.

A Fistful of Dollars is only 99 though.. I think I may go with that.

[GoGo Yubari]

Fistful of Dollars is a good one.

[Benjamin]

I remember watching the Good, the Bad and the Ugly, then after that For a Few Dollars More, and I've yet to see A Fistful of Dollars. I've watched the entire thing backwards
