I vote Once Upon A Time In America -the five hour cut!

No it's not possible, you can't watch two screens at once.
But what is possible would be to nominate a film for viewing and set a time for a discussion afterwards -kinda like a film club really. That would work well I think.

Where have you seen the five-hour cut of Once Upon a Time in America?

Or was that just a joke?
Now that's a film we can go 'round and 'round with. Those who love it swear by it but some of us find it deeply flawed.

Call me a traditionalist if you want, but I don't think synchronised film watching should be an olympic sport. I slightly prefer the version on ice, but even then how can it be a proper sport when there's no physical contact.
And I was most displeased at the Korean ladies beating our fine ladies team into second place. How could they have been given gold, they were obviously all on drugs and looked like men!

I've not seen it in years, but I don't remember liking it all that well. Once Upon A Time in the West, however...

Five hour films? Pah! I suggest this for our first synchronised screening:

Think about it - how many five hour versions are there of a movie that has been restored to three and a half hours?

Oops - I didn't see who was posting. Never mind about the thinking, then.

Yes, it is a joke.

I'm sure it happens quite a lot, what with films being on the telly quite often.
