It’s time to vote for the next Movie of the Month! LAMB members have submitted films, you get to vote on them and the winner will be discussed on an upcoming Lambcast show. There are four films to choose from this month, and this might be a collection of some of the oldest films championed, because the average year of release would be 1964! The poll is at the bottom of the page, but first here are the...
It’s time to announce the next Movie of the Month winner! For April we celebrate a franchise, but in recent years we’ve expanded that word’s definition to include loose series based on production studios or an original film and its various remakes. For this April we had five varied options. Four of them were tradition franchises, but the winner is a remake-a-palooza, for the...
So before the month runs out, we probably should get to the Movie of the Month for March. MovieRob championed “The Bridge on the River Kwai” and hosts the show with a description of the plot and four other guests wallow in their admiration for his choice. There won’t be any surprise opinions about the worthiness of the film, but there is a detailed discussion of it’s qualities.
In World War Two, is it a...
It’s time to vote for April’s Movie of the Month! As has become tradition, for April we like to celebrate movie franchises, and just like last year we’ve expanded the definition to include the remake-a-palooza style of a film and its remakes. Whichever franchise wins the poll will get a Lambcast episode dedicated to it. The poll is at the bottom of the page, but first here are...
A bunch of films won some awards yesterday, but there’s still one movie left to be crowned, and it’s only fitting that the day after the Oscars we celebrate another Best Picture winner for March’s Movie of the Month! That’s given the game away a little, as only one of this month’s nominees won Best Picture (although I believe there is still some deliberation as to...

This week we celebrate February by selecting a film from the list of 1975 movies submitted by the host. “The Man Who Would be King” had been suggested a number of times but it has finally ascended to the throne for this week’s Lambcast.
For those of you who are not familiar, the film is based on a Rudyard Kipling story, and in this telling, Kipling himself is a character, played by a hard to recognize...
Happy Birthday to Lambcast host Richard Kirkham! As has become tradition, for February’s Movie of the Month we give Richard the gift of choosing all the films submitted for the poll, and he’ll get the opportunity to talk about an older film he actually wants to discuss! This year he championed eight films all released in 1975, some of which were either too obscure or just not...
Whenever MOTM rolls around, you are sure to get something interesting, that doesn’t always mean good but in this month’s show it does mean great. “Blood Simple” is the debut film of Joel and Ethan Coen as well as Frances McDormand, their leading lady. Set in Central Texas, it is a neo noir with a high suspense quotient and several memorable scenes.
Texas resident Sean Homrig was the champion of the film...
It’s time to vote on the next Movie of the Month! For their birthday month we allow the Lambcast host to select all the possible movie choices, and as Richard is undertaking a year-long celebration of the films of 1975 he opted for a selection of them for next month’s poll. There are eight films to choose from, one of which I’d heard of before creating this poll, so make your choice, cast your vote, and the winning film will...

As usual a bunch of LAMB members submitted all sorts of movies to be voted upon, one of them has won and that lucky film will get a Lambcast episode dedicated to it. We had that rarest of wonders this month with a film receiving zero votes – not even Mark...
