Spectral Celluloid

Instead of renting the same kind of movies (say, horror or romantic comedy), create diversity by finding an unintended similarity. Try colors, for example:

• The Green Mile – Stephen King in prison again


• Blue Velvet – David Lynch's masterpiece


• Red Sorghum – Early Zhang Yimou


• Picture of Dorian Gray – Based on the Oscar Wilde novel


• Men in Black – Sci-fi without pretense


• White Heat – James Cagney as oedipal mobster


• The Pink Panther – Inspector Clouseau's absurd adventures


• The Color Purple – Underappreciated Spielberg

And, obviously, Kieslowski's "Rouge", "Blanc" and "Bleu" movies. Now there's an interesting movie night.
