Official Film Snobs Club, We have better taste than you. Options

[NoSex]

I was sick of boring clubs, and I thought exclusion and bitter attitudes could spice up the "club scene" here on cB. So, I decided to make a club for Film Snobs. This is a place for cinephilia, in the best and worst ways. If you like movies, and you think you like good movies, you may want to apply here. But, I'm not going to be easy on you guys, I hate most of your taste. Give me crap, and I'll give it right back. Those of you who don't completely suck will be accepted into our cute little bullshit corner and will then become judge and jury in deciding whether or not future applicants should be allowed into our little circle. So, here is all you have to do, post a Top 20 list. Twenty movies that you think reflect your distinct taste and interest in cinema. If I like it, you're in. If I'm not sure, I may ask you a few questions. If I hate it, I'll ignore you or throw up.

As a club, we will discuss film, recommend work, and pretend we have status when we truly do not. Knowledge is power, f**kers.

Exclusive clubs rule. No Nates.

That movie made you want to act like an idiot?

[It truly is an awful movie, by the way.]

[*ersatz*]

Not like they did in the movie, but just there's things that my mother tells me to do and things she encourages my sister to continue doing...yeah...you get the picture.
