I have exactly one movie queued up this friday afternoon, and then I have officially run out of movies that I downloaded that one time with a vague commitment to watching them at some point. This makes for a short list this week, and a longer one next week, by virtue of repeating the process with a brand new iteration of "that one time". As one does

Different time and all that.
Also, FWIW (having missed the poll) I’d say it is by some margin an overall better film than the other three.
Possibly not the most entertaining.

is this a feelgood movie barely in disguise?
...yes :3

having had time to think it over, I fully understand
a) why they thought it was a good idea to turn this movie into a tv series, and
b) why it was not, in fact, actually a good idea to turn this movie into a tv series
the premise of random people just showing up to put our lovable lot into Situations is solid. a person could get into that
the drawback is that the movie relies on you only finding the core crew lovable during the last 30 minutes. this is difficult to translate into tv
Friends! This is the penultimate vote for this round of #FridayMovie shenanigans. Which means that you not only get to vote for which movie I'll see this week, but also - indirectly - which two movies will go next week. Make the future happen today!

Since last week's #FridayMovie vote was the penultimate vote, this week's poll is the ultimate one. The decision is thus: which of these 1971 horror (technically) movies should I watch first in this end october viewing?

The omega man (1971)

the inherent drawback of working through a list of movies is that, once you reach the final two entries, there's not much drama to it. you either go with one or the other, and then the other. it is a little known fact that the inspiration for the famous movie Highlander, based on the principle that there can be only one, was drawn fully from this fact alone
we should learn what we can from this 100% true fact, and move through the world with undiminished confidence

Ben Zanin@sargoth it'll also give you a completely different perspective on the level design of the Origin Systems game System Shock!! And also the environmental audio announcements in the Half-Life series.
@sargoth also, while you're watching the film you have a unique opportunity to refer to your player progress bar as an Andromeda Strain gauge
And so, #FridayMovie round two is officially over. To recap:
How to make an American quilt (1995)

Ghost world (2001)
Dr Strangelove (1964)
River of no return (1954)

Bagdad café (1987)
Dead men don't wear plaid (1982)
The Andromeda strain (1971)
The omega man (1971)
the average release date for the movies of this round is july 9th 1980. this number means nothing on its own, but can be compared with round one's june 14th 2001 and round three's july 1st 1959
to quote the venerable Roy Brown: it's time to turn this record over, I ain't seen nothing yet
We now enter into a couple of weeks of #FridayMovie shenanigans, where options do not return in subsequent polls. It is therefore imperative that you think carefully about these options; you only get one shot. Do not miss

@sargoth I just can't bring myself to vote for plan 9, although I'm tempted every time. I think nobody should have to watch this.
The Ed Wood movie would be a nice alternative.
