Free Movies

Anyone up for an online movie watching/discussion?

So I've been kicking around this idea in my head, that we would all watch a film that is available free online once a week, and then have a killer discussion in a forum centering around the film... or maybe even incorporate real-time chat. 

Anyone like this idea?  See any problems/hurdles with it?  Would this be a good forum to host the discussion, or should we start a new forum?

I like the idea.

I guess I'm just hesitant to watch any movies online that I could see somewhere else at a much better quality.

So either the movie would have to be something shown online at an extremely high quality or something that couldn't be watched anywhere else.

And also hopefully not something really bad.

The films available on SnagFilm are all pretty high-quality.  I actually have an s-video cable that runs from my laptop to my regular ol' 20" Toshiba flatscreen CRT television, and even on that 'antique' the picture quality is decent.  I think what we'd wind up doing is keeping the film open for suggestions and then having a moderator pick one film per week.  Snag has a lot of great independent and mainstream films, so finding something of quality shouldn't be too hard.  Any ideas for promoting this?  It'd be great to get this forum active again through something like that.
