I'm excited for this, as I love movies. I've seen 12 Angry Men so many times on TCM; it's a classic, but I will watch it again.

Wow, can't wait! I should be able to make the first 2. Bummed that I already have plans August 19, as I would love to discuss the Barbie movie with all of you.

Very excited for this! Great movie choices - can’t wait to discuss. Thanks for creating this Norma!

Looking forward to this new opportunity to get together (remotely) and talk about the Movies !!!

For the first two movies check your library for dvd copies/kanopy/hoopla streaming but also helpful to note that Women talking is on Prime Video and the og 12 Angry Men is streaming free on Tubi and Pluto

Thank you Amanda for doing the research for me !

Thanks for doing this, Norma... To clarify for me - we watch the movie alone beforehand and then have the discussion via zoom? We're not watching and discussing live ala what we did during presidential debates?

Norma Stary's avatar

Yes, watch alone (sad face) and discuss together (happy face).

:-) And also, this is ONLY for people who are already subscribers/subscribe before the Film club starts, correct? I'm tyring to get my sisters to join.

Norma Stary's avatar

Well I don't think anyone would be stopped from subscribing at any point? That would be a question for Maggie. (But you can tell your sisters whatever you want. lol)

Can't wait for the link to be shared 4000 times between now and the first meeting date ;). It be like that sometimes lol.

Questions:

1) Where can I find these films to watch?

2) Can I still join in as a free subscriber?

Diana's avatar

Are you familiar with the JustWatch app? I use that to find out where movies are streaming. I was able to get a DVD of Women Talking from my library and 12 Angry Men is streaming through Hoopla, also with my library.

This sounds so awesome! Unfortunately, all the live discussion times are in the middle of my work day, but I know it's so hard to coordinate east and west coast participation. It sounds like there might be discussion on the Facebook PP page, though. Is that right?

Maggie Penton's avatar

Yes, the link in the note will take you there, we can have discussions on the chat here too

Diana's avatar

Is 12 Angry Men the original or the remake?

Norma Stary's avatar

Original (should have made that clear)

Anyone interested in Boston area in-person viewing parties? 👀
