Troian Bellisario - Monthly Movie Night Planning and Discussion #1 [Next up - The Narrow Margin (1952) - October 1st 2017]

Troian Bellisario Board
Monthly Movie Night

A couple of years ago we began a board watch of the movies that inspired Pretty Little Liars. Now that the show has concluded, it seems time to continue that watch (and, of course, add to it). I would like to establish who would be interested in joining in. Watches would be once a month, with the option to watch more if wanted. Listed below are movies known to have inspired the show at some point, as well as others the show directly referenced, they don't have to be watched in order but my hope is that we will eventually get through them all. If that happens, we will be moving onto movies Troian has starred in.

IF you're interested in joining, just post in this thread to let me know, and mention whether or not you would like to receive PM reminders of watches.

Participants;
BlondieLeigh [GMT +1]
Kiss of Death [EST]
The Apt [UTC-6:00]

* User has asked not to receive reminder PMs.

Sounds fun!

***Artemis*** · 09-16-2017, 09:54 PM

Thanks for this, Leigh! I definitely want to continue with our movies-that-inspired-PLL watches. And I have T movies to watch. I love our live watches.

**jediwands** · 09-17-2017, 09:24 AM

This sounds awesome. I am certainly interested in participating and PM away.

***Artemis*** · 09-17-2017, 11:06 AM

It would be great to have more people involved. These get so fun. We've only done a few Inspired-PLL ones, and they're fun to cal out the references that PLL has used!

Maybe something else to add in the OP, would be interested people's time zones.

I'm EST. (It's 2 PM here)

t2727 · 09-17-2017, 11:11 AM

Thanks for starting this

A whole bunch of classics, and Insidious 2.

GMT +1 here.

**BlondieLeigh** · 09-17-2017, 12:50 PM

I debated leaving Insidious 2 out, but I figured we could get a laugh out of Aria watching it before the first one was even out on Rosewood time.

Added that now

t2727 · 09-17-2017, 12:54 PM

Offended that you left out the Bieber movie tbh.

**BlondieLeigh** · 09-17-2017, 12:59 PM

I could add it if you really want me to

t2727 · 09-17-2017, 01:16 PM

Don't stop Beliebing!

What are we watching first?

**BlondieLeigh** · 09-17-2017, 01:23 PM

I've already seen The Birds, and I'm not in a hurry to watch it again. Do you have a preference?

t2727 · 09-17-2017, 01:28 PM

Not really. If we go in chronological order, then Casablanca is the first I'd want to see again.

**BlondieLeigh** · 09-17-2017, 01:31 PM

We don't have to go in any particular order. I haven't seen most of them so I'm willing to go with what others want.

***Artemis*** · 09-17-2017, 03:15 PM

OH god, no. NO BIRDS! I saw that in SCHOOL. That was terrible.

Maybe one of the halloween-trains inspired movie?

**BlondieLeigh** · 09-18-2017, 12:14 PM

We'll have to go there at some point, but hopefully not soon

Halloween train ones I believe are -

The Lady Vanishes {1938; d. Alfred Hitchcock}
Strangers on a Train {1951; d. Alfred Hitchcock}
Murder on the Orient Express {1974; d. Sidney Lumet}

Probably some others, too, but they're the big ones, iirc.
