Films in Van Vorst
We are about to start the fundraising for this year’s summer film series. We need to submit a potential list of films to the city by the end of February so they can publish the event in their Summer Cultural Calendar.
So, here is the deal, how about you people who come and read the blog and never dare post a comment, help me figure out which films we should run….
We have eight screenings planned and the criteria to select them is that they have to be apt for all audiences (no sex, durgs or explicit violence)……. I would love to have a couple of classics, a western, and one kiddies friendly movie….. Please bare in mind that these are free open air film screenings in our community park, therefore the films should appeal to the vast majority of people…. …
My list of potential films goes as follows (it's 6 films too long….)
I. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)
II. High Noon (1952)
III. Cabaret (1974)
IV. Raising Arizona (1987)
V. L.A. Confidential (1997) (can’t remember if sex is explicit here??)
VI. All About Eve (1950)
VII. Big Fish (2003)
VIII. The Searchers (1956)
IX. Twelve Monkeys (1995)
X. Rushmore (1998)
XI. Arizona Dream (1993)
XII. The Man Without a Past (2002)
XIII. Singin' in the Rain (1952)
XIV. High and Low (1963)

why not run a poll based on your short list? this would be the best way to aggregate opinions. try this polling site and also link it to a post on jclist.com to get community feedback.
the post on jclist could also be part of a request for volunteers but also may expose you to the flamers and odd-bods on that board.
sorry, i seem to have posted on the wrong entry, but as I was saying, I like your selection. I wish I lived close to the park in question.
Thanks Johoney. I tried opening an account with the polling site but has some techinical difficulties... I'll try again later and then add the link to the post.. :)

hi, i just saw this post re: movie picks. if you want, i can post this on jclist and/or link to it on my blog. your blog appears to be very personal, so i won't link to it until i hear back from you.
hola marge,
(aqui ignacio) este blog promete, al menos estas mas juiciosa que yo con este tema. no conozco algunas de las pelis que tienes en la lista, pero vi que esta rushmore... si te gusta este man te recomiendo 'bottle rocket' no estoy seguro de si la hizo antes o despues, pero es la que mas me ha gustado del hombre... se parece un poco a 'raising arizona', que tambien esta en tu lista.

no mas, que esta muy grande doña rosa (increible, hace seis o siete meses, cuando estuvimos por alla, estaba todavia en la barriga) y que felicitaciones por el festival. mucha suerte con todos esos proyectos :-)
