Back before NBC bought the exclusive rights to "It's a Wonderful Life" (and every TV station from here to eternity could and did show it at will), some friends of mine and I would stage a yearly contest: the one fool who could somehow catch the film the most times won a case of beer, from the other fools.
As we got older, something like wisdom crawled into our heads: why don't we all just watch it once, have beer, and get it out of the way?
For the past 15 years or so, I've hosted (at home & at others') the Yearly Viewing Of The Film That Will Not Be Named, during which we eat, drink, and make merry while "some movie" plays in the background.
Some years turn out like "Mystery Science Theater 3000"; others turn out like "Affliction". It's good fun!
