Please nominate a film for August's "Fedi Film Club"!
This is the "Fringe Theater" ... for weird, niche films, unknown classics and pioneering statements. If you've got more "popcorn" or popular films in mind, you should check out the "Popcorn Theater" post.
Anything that either you'd like to watch or would recommend to the community!
Please make sure it's more than roughly two years old so that it will (hopefully) be available somewhere.
And if possible, provide a quick description for why you'd like to watch or why you suggest it.
- See the July's Nominations and the introductory post for "Fedi Film Club".
- We'll take a vote on the suggestions in about a week's time after this. Then we can watch and discuss.
- If you're keen to host a live watch & chat, let us know and we'll help notify others.
Meet the Feebles (wikipedia)
Released in 1989, this is an early-ish Peter Jackson movie (yes, the LOTR guy).
It's a lurid and disturbing backstage comedy of a troupe similar to The Muppet Show.
I watched it with one friend in the mid 90s who, when it ended, stood, turned to me, and said "It is possible to go too far" before leaving the room.
Thanks for the suggestion! I was worried no one would be into this "fringe" idea!!
Most movies I'd think to suggest are fairly fringe ones. I'd assume people have heard of the others.
The Wicker Man (the 1973 version) is another great one made less fringe by the Nic Cage remake. Go in blind on that one if you can.
