You don't have to be in the same room with other cinema lovers to have a film festival. For the last six years, the insightful film website and podcast F This Movie (operated by our own Patrick Bromley) has united movie lovers on Twitter for an all-day marathon of eclectic titles. This year is no exception, as Bromley and the rest of his talented team of writers and co-hosts are inviting fans to join them online for a celebration of 1989 movies.

Taking place on Saturday, March 3rd, F This Movie Fest 7 will include the "Weird Al" Yankovic-starring UHF, the crime comedy Tango & Cash, Joe Dante's The ’Burbs, the life lessons of Road House, and Jack Nicholson's take on the Joker in Tim Burton's Batman.

As per usual, you can enjoy F This Movie Fest from the comfort of your own couch. Each movie has a start time so that all participants can hit "play" at the same moment (think of it as synchronizing your DVD players instead of your watches). Then, while the movies are playing, you can have online discussions with other participants by posting on Twitter and tagging your comments with #fthismoviefest.

For more information, check the schedule below, visit F This Movie's website (including great articles on other 1989 movies not featured in the festival), and follow them on Twitter! As Bromley says on F This Movie's podcast, this is all about providing "movie love for movie lovers," so if you'd like to celebrate some of the most memorable movies from 1989, make sure you clear your schedule on March 3rd, and in the immortal words of Dalton, "Be nice."
