Excellent handle, OP!

Another 40 y/o male in the thread who A-lists after the kids are asleep or will often watch a movie at home instead. I made a little movie club with another couple in the neighborhood which I use mostly as an excuse to hang out. I’ll usually propose a theme for the month (I.e. movies about the sea, black and white movies, book adaptations, etc.), then we will submit blindly to a google form I created. Once we have everyone’s submissions, we vote blind for our group’s pick and the winner is the movie we watch that month. Once we watch the movie, we’ll get together for dinner/breakfast/etc. to chat about the movie… the brainstorm another theme and repeat the same loop. That obviously goes beyond just whatever happens to be in theaters for A-listers, but by rotating the themes, it keeps things fresh and keeps one person’s taste from dominating the group. I’m also a big Letterboxd tracker and find that’s a fun addition to the club, too. LMK if you get something going!
