WHAT IS THE MOVIE CLUB?
The Movie Club is a monthly film watching club where a range of films to watch are created and shared with the community.
The films watched by the Movie Club will be curated lists which members can watch on their own.
The term DeathRace comes from the annual challenge of watching every nominated film for various Awards ceremony. For most people, this is the Academy Awards: the Oscars Death Race, however, other members of the community add the Spirit Awards and/or BAFTA Awards, Golden Globes, and Razzies in too.
DO I HAVE TO WATCH ALL THE FILMS?
You are welcome to watch as many or as few films as you wish.
When you have watched a film, give it a rating on the film's page, and the details on the "sprint" page will update automatically.
Once you've rated all the films in a sprint, your username will be visible on the completed list for that sprint.
WHO SUGGESTS THE FILMS FOR EACH SPRINT?
Sprints are created by our AoDR Members, and can be suggested via the DeathRace suggestion form on this site.
Suggested sprints can have a clear theme (ie, films about filmmaking), or just be a list of films that an individual feels are seminal and interesting.
WHAT TYPES OF FILMS WILL BE INCLUDED?
Sprints can consist of films of any type - new, old, shorts, or features. There should be a range of styles and types (fiction and documentary) included across the 3 sprints each month.
WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO KNOW?
Any suggestion for a sprint should be readily accessible for our global community. This means that brand new theatrical releases should only be included once a wider VOD release occurs.
Films launching on a streaming service first can be included.
DO I NEED TO BE A MEMBER TO TAKE PART IN THESE RACES/SPRINTS?
Whilst we will share the details of the sprints on Reddit, we would ask that anyone taking part in these races & sprints signs up for AoDR membership so that we can all see who is interacting with the films, and so that people playing along can be on our leaderboard.
