Catch-22. Great film of a terrific book. If you've never read the book (shame on you), the movie is a great way to experience Heller's characters and ideas. Marvellous cast, and a really awesome death.

It is indeed a quality film; Lucas picked a good one to rip off for Star Wars. I wanted to rent it the other day, but the Kurosawa DVD collection at the local rental place doesn't have any English subtitles...


The opening sequences where the two buffoons are trying to escape the war are some of the most visually spectacular sequences in film. Really something and groundbreaking.

So far we have:

LOTR
O' Brother Where Art Thou?
The Hidden Fortress
Life of Brian
Count of Monte Cristo (with Richard Harris)
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
The Seven Samurai
Catch-22
Apocalypse Now Redux
2001: A Space Odyssey
Fight Club
Star Trek VI: Undiscovered Country

There's enough room for 12 more nominations.

Another "suggestion" - don't nominate movies that are very similar to another nominee. For ex., if you see 2001 and think "Yeah, Kubrick! Let's nominate Clockwork!"... don't do it. That's just sad.

We're talking about movies, not TV shows. Movies.

Please indicate which film you're nominating by supplying an IMDB link. While you don't "need" to when nominating an obvious title like Life of Brian, it is still helpful.

The first rule of Apolyton Movie Group is that we don't discuss Apolyton Movie Group.

At least to outsiders. They'll just think we're odd.

Because they're a single story... one of the LOTR films by itself is incomplete without the others. The same cannot be said for the Star Trek films (and likely the SW films, though there is an overarching story arc for each of the trilogies (and the series as a whole, of course.))
