Default Blu-ray of the Week Club

Welcome Blu Fans!

I wanted to have something of a Book Club of sorts, but with Movies. I wanted to pick a movie every week and if you have seen it great, join the discussion. If you haven't, what better time than now? The movie will always be available on Blu-ray and can range from the 1920's to something releasing this year.

I will post the movie of the week on this first post, followed below by previous movies of the week. Once the week ends, usually on a Friday night, I will post the new film after the last post as well as this first post.

Film for this Week



Previous Weeks:
Nebraska

It is playing on my TV now. Been looking forward to this. After this, I only have Philomena and Captain Phillips left as far as Oscar movies go for this year.

Thanks. I currently maintain the Weekly Top 5 List, so this will parallel that which should make it easier.

I had already seen it in the theater a couple months ago, but I was awaiting to see it again because of how good it was.

I just loved the story and the characters, one of the most enjoyable best picture nominees.

This is good to hear. A lot of Oscar Nominees can't be labeled as "enjoyable" I think.

Her is my favorite of the best picture nominees, and one of my favorite films of all time for that matter; but the rest aren't that far behind. I thought 2013 was a fantastic year for film.

12 Years a Slave was my favorite, followed by Her. I wouldn't label 12 Years as "enjoyable," but it was a force when I watched it. I thought Her was incredible.

It definitely was, it blew me away!

I don't know why I did this but here is my ranking of the Best Picture Nominees:

1. Her
2. 12 Years A Slave
3. Gravity
4. Captain Phillips
5. Nebraska
6. Dallas Buyers Club
7. American Hustle
8. Philomena
9. The Wolf Of Wall Street

I am with you on DBC, American Hustle, and Wolf being in the bottom half of the list.

They didn't stand out as much as the other nominees to me.

So, do you have any idea of what the next films will be in this club? Are we going to continue Oscar Nominees?

We could do that, but it will take 8 more weeks and the awards will be over. I might not be doing them all together. I wanted to jump around the board some as well. I wanted to go back a few decades, but I think most will be around current times. I don't really have any restrictions for this thread. Right now my mind is in Oscar gear.

After watching Nebraska, it is clear to me that this film is comedy above a drama. It might be where I am from, but the comedic set pieces were brilliant and I can see a lot of this happening. I will rewatch this, hopefully with my Dad. It was a 5/5 film for me.

I just rewatched Nebraska a few minutes ago.

I honestly didn't have the same reaction as I initially did, but I still enjoyed it.

Just watched Nebraska and it's an excellent film, but I just don't see a lot of replay value.
