Thread, I need help finding something for friends&family Movie Night. I have some past successes/failures to help triangulate a bit: -Repo Man went over well, with a great soundtrack and generally cool stoner attitude, while Tuff Turf was met with open derision -Phantom of the Paradise was a favorite, while Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was hated but in a way that made for an amazing viewing experience -Theater of Blood and Shaw Bros. martial arts films are probably the comfortable upper limit on violence/gore -Ideally less offputtingly horny than Barbarella -My Dinner with Andre was rejected as an option, because while unquestioningly a good movie it demands attention to a point that stifles conversation

Hmm, after some consideration, I think giving the guests a choice between Footloose and Streets of Fire is the right call, give 'em a selection of tone on opposite ends of the "it's the 80s but also sorta the 50s?" spectrum. Plus both films came out in 1984, so it works with my brother's recent 40th birthday!

Definitely gonna keep Dr Phibes in the back pocket for Halloween. Lair of the White Worm will be reserved for when I want to make them uncomfortable

My monthly book club is bundled together with a movie night, what would be a good pairing with Pat Conroy's Prince of Tides (you know, aside from the obvious film adaptation)?
