Inception

Inception is about a man who is skilled at hacking into peoples' dreams and stealing information. But his past exploits have resulted in him being on the run and unable to see his children. He's offered a chance of redemption and to be able to see them again if he performs one last job - one considered impossible by many - not to steal information, but to implant an idea. To do so he and his team have to delve within many layers of dreams, but as they execute their perfect plan they're unaware that they're being stalked by a dangerous enemy they couldn't have prepared for.

Rather than inflict their own (bad?) tastes in movies at you, this week we're letting you, the members, decide what is being shown. But unlike previous such events we're not letting you decide on the night. Instead you need to fill in this poll. It works in two stages - first you nominate a film and then a couple of weeks before the event, you need to vote on the options available.
