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:
