What is your opinion on ratings? Do you think we should stay away from unrated/R rated films?
Are you allowed to watch unrated/R rated films?
Do you think we should allow foreign films to be movie of the month, though they may be hard to get?
What if we had a television show be "movie" of the month and suggested 2 or 3 specific episodes? Do you think that would be a good idea?

Pi: Faith In Chaos
Genre: Thriller, Sci-Fi
MPAA: Rated R for language and some disturbing images.
Summary:
In Manhattan, behind six locks, lives Max Cohen, a mathematician and computer whiz. Since staring at the sun at age six, he's had terrible headaches; plus, he can't abide human contact except with an aging professor, and he's obsessed with finding numeric patterns. His current obsession is the stock market; his theories bring him to the attention of Wall Street traders. He also keeps running into Lenny, a fast-talking Hasidic who fronts for a cabal that wants to rediscover long-lost mathematical mysteries in the Torah. Neither group is benign, and they pursue Max as his hallucinations and headaches worsen. Does nature offer any solutions? Can Max find them?

Genre: Drama
MPAA Rating: PG-13 (mature thematic material)

Jessica Sharzer directs this powerful teen drama, which debuted at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival.
