Buffians.... I hereby issue you a 2009 challenge - Unearth a film masterpiece – In the early throes of '09 I'm proposing we go on a treasure hunt. Using what ever aids, sources and research tools you can think of to discover an unheralded movie masterpiece. It can be new, old, foreign, short, feature, doc, kids film, porno or anything else provided it was intended to be viewed on film.
I'll kick in $200 with each taker adding $20 of their own. Winner takes all. You have the month of January to complete your search and in early February, we'll show each piece (over several days if necessary) at Segredos. We'll vote by secret ballot and declare the winner.
I can assist in tracking down odd titles if need be but will be participating as well. Mike Brown has an extensive collection and access to other collectors and has agreed to help if he can.
Who's interested? We'll need at least 4 or 5 to make it worthwhile.

i'm DEFINITELY IN! the search begins...
(secretly hoping all entries are porn).
In.
Just verifying that everyone noticed the comma between "kids film" and "porno".
off topic, but scrooged has been voted the favourite christmas movie......really? i mean, REALLY?
I'm in like Flint
Scott, you mind clarifying how we're gonna define an unknown gem? Can it be something we have already seen but no-one else has heard of? Or does it have to be something we dig up a fresh this month? Etc etc.
Joe, anything with Bill Murray gets my vote.
i can't speak for scott, but this is the criteria i'm operating under:
basically, you can have seen the film, as long as no one else attending has. asking around might be helpful. it's going to be tough becasue i'm sure between whoever shows up, we'll have seen a lot of films. however, there are so, so, so many films out there that are just dying to be seen. now's their (and your) chance.
maybe not scott's criteria, but i hope that helps some.
