Please nominate a film for August's "Fedi Film Club"!

This is the "Fringe Theater" ... for weird, niche films, unknown classics and pioneering statements. If you've got more "popcorn" or popular films in mind, you should check out the "Popcorn Theater" post.

Anything that either you'd like to watch or would recommend to the community!

Please make sure it's more than roughly two years old so that it will (hopefully) be available somewhere.

And if possible, provide a quick description for why you'd like to watch or why you suggest it.

La Grande Bouffe (1973) wikipedia

*The film tells the story of four friends who gather in a villa for the weekend, with the express purpose of eating themselves to death. *

Thanks so much for the suggestions! I was worried no one would be into this "fringe" idea!!

So I have no idea if this is really fringe, I mean today it probably is, but I watched it with my friends in our "Classic Movies Night" film circle where we would once a month get together and watch one classic movie from before 2000, because like many we were no film nerds but we wanted to be able to talk about good older movies so we had to watch them :D. Anyway we had some rules that it needed at least a 7 on IMDB and it needed to be considered a classic by some standards. And this was one of those movies we saw. Probably one of the weirdest movies we watched :D
