I understand.
If we choose Ingmar Bergman, we have 5-6 contestants...at the most. If we choose a new Ashton flick...same thing. Around here at least (thank doG!).

What I'd rather avoid though is a 'Lets all fawn over {insert name of respected director here}' thread which is why we stuck to new(ish, say the last 6 months or so) releases on the other board.
It gives everyone an opportunity to talk about films on the same level - maybe a mix of classics and newer stuff?
Let the public decide!

Cinemagraphic. 
Yup, was thinking that myself - the clientele here has a different demographic. 
Scratch that new release part and I'm in. 
Can i be a part of the club?
Funny, I was talking to Slay about this last night. I do a review club with another MoFo on another board and was wondering if it would work here.
Instead of one person picking a movie (that's never worked too well from my experience) we decided to have a poll of new releases and the winner would be the one we talked about.
I'll have a chat with my co-conspirator when she gets online.

I think we could get any going again...any takers?
Here's the link to our very own tried and failed movie club. We only had one discussion in this thread, the rest getting their own individual threads, but it gives an idea of what we tried to do. We discussed the remake of Lolita.
We made it through 7 films before people lost interest. Though, we were trying to pick films that weren't always considered the normal fare, so it didn't always appeal to the masses.
We had discussions on The Breakfast Club, A Clockwork Orange, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, Labyrinth, The Ogre, and The Dirty Dozen…and that’s when it died.
I would definitely be up for resurrecting the movie club.
BTW Linda: You were a part of it. You chose Night of the Living Dead, but the club went the way of the Dodo before we had the chance.
I sure liked it, but I'm a BIG Glenn Ford fan. Seeing Van Heflin in something besides Shane is treat enough anyway.
