All movies suggested to us will be judged on an individual basis, and will be considered based on the following:
- Critical reception- box office success alone does NOT dictate a 'good' movie.
- Cult following- often a movie's saving grace if it didn't perform well in theatres for whatever reason.
- Length of the movie- should be easy enough to fit in a 2hr time frame, unless special screening times are applicable.
- Coherency of subtitles [if any]
- Visual quality/sound of movie [if on a burned DVD]
- Country of origin
- Content
- Rating [if any]
- Box-office success [or lack of]
The current Executive Board for SSVC would like to establish a Permanent Film Library for future members of the club to be able to use for years to come. With that said, we are currently asking for donations of either films or cash, so that the club can purchase movies that have been screened in the past, or films that have passed the screening process.
A few rules to notice:
- If donating a FILM that is NOT the legitimate disc [a downloaded movie, for instance], please ensure that both the visuals and sound are of the highest quality possible.
- Absolutely NO 'street DVDs' [those discs purchased from vendors on the side of the road] will be accepted- sorry.
- If donating a FILM that is legitimate, please ensure that the disc is in proper working order. If not, please notify the club so that necessary precautions can be made.
- If donating CASH towards a specific film, please notify the President first so that the film in question can be approved.
- Those donating CASH for a specific film must provide the SSVC with enough money to cover purchase, shipping and customs in order for the film to be included in the Library.
