In AskMe, Beardman asks about Oldies that don't feel like homework viewing, while in FanFare, Old Timey Film Club is announced, and Sunset Boulevard is posted as the group's debut thread (So they opened their big mouths and out came talk. Talk! TALK!).
Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives
In Ask Me, phunniemee asks Give me your recommendations for creeping, meandering, dream-like movies!
