May I suggest....

A monthly film to be watched then discussed/dissected from every angle.

My first choice would be HOMBRE (@1967 w/Newman - based on an Elmore Leonard novella from when he wrote westerns). The film is flawed but perfect in many ways. It is one of the three best films ever from the perspective of memorable dialogue. It is beautifully shot and paced, morally ambiguous, honest, adult and frankly sexual without being crude...just a thought.

Excellent idea!

We will need to think this through & those of us who put the thread together each month work on the list of movies.

Thanks for your input with the technical/insider information that was used in the body of thread.

HOMBRE is one of my favorite Newman flicks and features a fantastic Richard Boone too.

I listened to HOT KID, Elmore Leonard's latest book, on CD, read by Arliss Howard. It would make a great comedic movie. Setting is the 1930s in Oklahoma and surrounding areas. The reader was so good and had the regional tone so perfect that I became really absorbed with the story. Hope Hollywood gives this book serious consideration. I don't recall seeing HOMBRE but will ask for it next time we visit Blockbusters.
