After holding a vote in this thread, the first mudflats movie club has been chosen.. the winner is..

Chocolat

You can purchase Chocolat via the AKMuckraker Amazon Shop by clicking here.

A classic fable with the added bonus of Johnny Depp combined with Chocolate. The gorgeous women of this movie put in performances which are simply stunning. Juliette Binoche, Judi Dench, Carrie Ann Moss and Lena Olin are the particular stand outs. Click here to read about Chocolat on the Internet Movie Database.

What happens now?

So you now have two weeks to purchase, borrow or rent the DVD. We will watch it between the 11th and 18th of December and discuss it here in this thread..

The version of the DVD available on amazon has the commentary track which is worth listening to also. So if you are borrowing or renting, try to make sure you get one with the commentary track.

My sweet husband just rented the movie Chocolat for me - and I'm really glad to say he rented it from the only small, locally-owned, non-chain video store I know of in my area. It's been serving Alexandria, VA for 25 years and I sure hope it survives the current economic mess.

I don't know if the copy I have has the commentary track, and I guess I'll have to watch it before Dec. 11 - but I am looking forward to discussing it.

Thanks for organizing this, Snos.

The first step is always the most liberating.

I love this movie, love the story, love the music and best of all ... I already have it!  Whooo!

I was hoping this would be the first pick!  YAY!

Chocolat is one of my favorite movies! Over the years I have come to the point of not going to movie theaters, renting movies or even watching T.V. However, there are a few movies that I have  in my limited collection and this is one of them.

Ok, seeing as some people have the movie already and some have hired it and may not be able to keep it till the 11th, I am creating a Chocolat Discussion WARNING MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS thread.
