With a thousand thank yous to all who suggested titles from the first day to late last night when the whole thing got redone...
OK, here's the ground rules
Each week, watch the movie. Discuss.
The general questions to discuss:
What is salvation in the context of this movie?
Who is saved? How? By Whom?
Who is lost? How? To where?
Post by the "due Tuesday" as assigned below.
Surf around to all the blogs on the link list and comment.
Hi Michael! It's not there yet b/c people are still signing up (like yourself). We'll have a list as soon as... well, as soon as we have a list :-)
Re: list of all the participants and their blog links
Sidebar to come ITNF (in the near future) I imagine? I'd volunteer to build the sidebar in my blog for you but my html skills are purely cut and paste from the help boards at this point. Although, someday they'll match my Ticonderoga 2.0 skills I fear. Notice who learned how to mark up italics? He's such a smart boy.
Excellent work Huw, thanks. I am looking forward to this... Genres? We don't need no stinking genres, If this is succesful there'll be more... Winters in make for great movie watching too.
Wow! Great list. I fell in love with Sandra Bullock during 28 days! Am I supposed to wait until that week to start blogging the films I like?
And I've got a great inside story on the performances in African Queen... I won't spoil it now....

HORRORS! My first movie choise is out of print. Will come up w/ a replacement in very short order. I think what we shall do is begin with Casablanca and go on from there.
Very sorry!
So... is Casablanca first? Did we decide? What's the final answer?
And are we now starting a week later, or are we pushing them all forward?
