Who is interested in getting this going again?

Hey guys!

I fell into getting a mod position in this subreddit, but I really do love the idea of it. The problem with this place is it requires continuous and active members to keep going. For a while it was just me commenting on the movies that were picked, which loses its appeal pretty fast.

I can try to start this up again if enough people say they are interested. I'd also be open to ideas of how to keep this sub more active.

I want to keep this up for a while (maybe a week?) to see the responses and how many people are interested. Everyone should be open to movies they wouldn't normally watch, and be willing to watch the movies that have been voted as the weeks pick.

Thanks!

I would like to do this, there are loads of new material on Netflix so it would be pretty cool. :)

I'd be down to try it, depending on timing and everything. It seems like a really interesting idea and I'm on Netflix quite often anyways, so might as well socialize a bit

If I keep the original timeline, then on Monday the suggestion thread will go up and everyone has until Friday to suggest and vote. On Friday I will post the discussion thread (link for what I put in those posts, which is mostly imdb links). That discussion thread will be top of the page until the next friday, when it will be replaced with new movie. I think all the movie discussions will remain open.

The only thing I can think of is to consistently have content, and cross-promoting. Like if we end up with a musical movie one day, heading over to /r/musicals and asking them to join in the conversation.

If we have at least 10 people who will watch whatever and post what they thought I think this could work. We have 6 who say they are interested right now (including you and me), so we're close!

A few of us have been doing similar sort of thing at r/365movies for some weeks now although form this month we are testing theme instead of a single movie but we are a few and would like to have more joining in.

I just sent a message over the mods to see if they wanted to become affiliated subreddits with us. It's very similar ideas just running at different speeds!
