This year, instead of just tracking the films we see, Gina and I decided that every movie we watch must have some connection to the movie we watched before it (with one caveat, that is we don't have to link TO new movie releases in theatres because we wouldn't want to not see a new movie just because there was no connection). Still, we'll do our best to connect to those as well.
The connection can be pretty much anything, from simply having the same actor or director (or Key Grip!) to similar settings, shooting styles, props, etc. In fact, the more tenuous the connection the more fun it will be. Each time we see a movie, we'll post it along with an explanation to its connection to the previous film.
We started off 2009 by watching The Deer Hunter on New Year's Day. We figured it was okay to begin with something fairly easy (like a huge cast) but it also just happened to be one of the movies recently arrived from Zip.
Feel free to help us out. Each time we post a movie watched, comment on the film, how cheesy (or absolutely perfect) our connection is and give us some suggestions on what to watch next (making sure to tell us the connection, of course). If we choose your suggestion, we'll make sure to give you credit.
Since we receive several movies from Zip every month, I'll be sure to post what we've got to choose from. Also, you can check out our movie library. We'll be using that and the Calgary Public Library to fill in the gaps.
