BE A MEMBER OF THE SCORSESE/WRIGHT/TARANTINO QUARANTINE MOVIE CLUB

 SO HAVE YOU LISTENED TO THE THREE-HOUR EPISODE OF "THE EMPIRE FILM PODCAST" WHERE EDGAR WRIGHT AND QUENTIN TARANTINO TALK ABOUT THE QUARANTINE MOVIE CLUB THEY'VE BEEN DOING WITH MARTIN SCORSESE??? 


I mean, for a movie nut like me, this is something like finding the Holy Grail and discovering that it's filled with puddin'!!!!!  Long story short:  Edgar Wright sent a nice letter to Martin Scorsese asking him for recommendations for British films to watch during the COVID-19 lockdown and Scorsese sent nearly 50 movie titles.  Wright shared these titles with Quentin Tarantino and a movie club was born. 

The best part is, now we all can join the movie club since Wright and Tarantino have now shared the list with us.  I mean, there's nothing better than movie recommendations from Martin Scorsese!  There just isn't.  Here's a link to the article on Indie Wire describing this whole story and here are the films Scorsese recommended:
