Great idea SoS. Not sure how anyone else feels but maybe this is something that could start in the new year as a lot of people are busy doing other things in December, some sort of religious holiday aint there? :wink:

Plus usually the forum's pretty quite over Christmas so maybe we wouldn't get a lot of input?

[Son of Solo]

You make a good point. Maybe this could hold on to the New Year as like you mention it is a busy time of year now. Maybe people here can post in this thread if they want to take part?

Here's a good starting point for anyone at a loss for what to ask for Christmas or what to buy someone.

Hey, thinking about it come January we can cover each film over a two week period that takes us near enough up to the new films release (if my maths is correct).

I only just realised that Uhura is the girl from Center Stage

I Like the way you're thinking. I'm only mildly concerned when it comes to the crunch I won't be able to bring myself to watch Nemesis, Do I even own it, I think I have the soundtrack.

I'll be up for this but don't be surprised if, when nemesis comes along I crack and watch Kahn again.

[Thing]

I'm not ashamed to say, I really like Nemesis!

Anyway, I might join in if I get the time, it's been a while since I've watched them.

I was actually considering morphing the Horror Franchise thread into a sci fi franchise thread once we'd got through our horror list. It's always been a bit of a niche, so I figured sci fi might be a bit more popular. So if your Star Trek run is a success Son of Solo, maybe you should do that? Matrix, Star Wars, Alien....there's probably a good list to be made.
