Good ideas!

How does this sound to everyone?

We set up a thread to nominate movies, but limit it to two nominations per person. As soon as we have 10 nominations we could set up another thread with a poll for those 10 (that's the most you can do in a poll, yes?). We'll have the poll go for a week and take the top three movies to discuss (so that we'll be doing three a week--giving people more options about what they want to discuss).

I also liked the idea of doing these more in advance so that people have more time to get ahold of the movie. Perhaps, there would be enough interest with nominations that the polls would get a head of us and we would then know several weeks out what to expect (i.e. If 20 films were nominated within two days then that would set up two polls which would generate the next two weeks worth of discussion).

Make sense?

Feedback? or other ideas about how to make this best work?

edit: actually I just read all that and it seemed a bit complicated. So, here's another idea (labeled: "Idea #2"). We stick with picking films the way we do. We do two a week. I'll set up a calendar that has movies for the next four weeks on it. (and, I would still be very open to having someone more qualified than myself pick the movies).
