Sixth Year Schedule of The Saturday Film Discussion Group - Please Feel Free to Join Us!

 Welcome to The Saturday Film Discussion Group.   We have recently voted to determine the films on our Sixth Year Schedule.   The list is at the bottom of this blog post.    These films are the next 13 months worth of discussion fodder for our group.  Some are individual selections and some are "double features."    Our 6th year of  discussions starts on September 16, 2023.   

The last selection of our 5th year (Young Frankenstein) will be discussed on August 19, 2023. 

We were formed in March of 2018.  We are about to start our sixth year or "season."  We were originally based in Southwestern Ohio with a lot of our members being from the Milford / Miami Township area.   However, we now meet via Zoom.  Therefore, the group is really open to a much wider swath of participants.   You can be located almost anywhere in the world and participate in our Zoom meetings.   We usually have between six and eight participants in our meetings and would certainly welcome a few more.  Let us know if you are interested!

We generally meet on the third Saturday of each month at 1 p.m.  Meetings usually last around 90 minutes to 2 hours.  Some people only come occasionally.  Some, no doubt, base their attendance on which film we are discussing in a particular month.

The film group works very much like a book club.  We meet once a month to discuss one or two specific pre-determined films.  The group members will be responsible for watching the film or films on their own time sometime in the days or weeks before the meeting.

Group members can see each month's selection in many different ways.  They can buy a new or used DVD of the film.  They can watch the film on a streaming service.  They can check a DVD of the film out of the library.

Let me know if you are interested in taking part in any of these meetings and I will make sure that you are put on the list to get the e-mails with the Zoom meeting information and codes.    You can e-mail me at toddfilmgroup@yahoo.com  

Without further ado, here is our upcoming sixth year schedule  -
