Display MoreFrom Justin to Kelly was… a movie that existed. Next up, we have ANOTHER birthday pick… this time belonging to Comchia! Comchia has more wisely than I chosen George Lucas' classic American Graffiti for this week's movie and it should be a fascinating one! You can join us this Friday via Discord to watch along.
George Lucas is one of several directors to have star systems named after them (others include Michael Crichton, Steven Spielberg and Akira Kurosawa) and so we get a slot to pick one of his movies. Except there aren't many options! We already watched Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and THX-1138 for specific references… so American Graffiti is kind of the option by default!
Where can I find a copy of the movie for the watch party?
American Graffiti is available for rent or purchase on all of the standard streaming services (and on Netflix in the US).If you would like a physical copy, it was released on Blu-ray in the US in 2011 and remains in print around the world. If you are not able to locate a copy please stop by the Discord and ping a CIC staff member before Friday's showing.
How do we watch the movie together?
It's pretty low tech! Simply join the Wing Commander CIC Discord on Friday and we will be chatting (in text) along with the film in the main channel. Everyone who wants to join in should bring their own copy and we will count down to play them together at 10 PM EST. Everyone is welcome and we encourage you to join in the conversation; sharing your thoughts helps make the experience better for everyone!
How can I help pick future movie club movies?
The movie club movies are voted on each week by the Wing Commander Discord. The poll is typically posted 24 hours before each week's screening and the next movie is announced at the end. The choices for the poll come from a master pool of Wing Commander-related movies. If you would like to suggest a film for inclusion in that pool you can post it to this thread.
