It's time to organize the Holiday Movie Club for 2017!

The Club runs roughly from American Thanksgiving (Thursday, NOV 23) through New Years Eve.

For the past three years, I've been meaning to do one for Nobody's Fool. Can that be a part of this year's Holiday Club? I've got most of it drafted somewhere in an email to myself.

Since the movies are bleeding into New Year's, what does anybody think about New Years Day by Henry Jaglom on New Year's Day?
