Drafting a Movie Collection - Game Thread - Page 8

For my second pick I'm taking another ground breaking movie. It takes care of categories 6, 13, 14 and 26.

I would bet everyone here has seen it at least once if not more than that.

Casablanca was my pick if I was more concerned about checking boxes

chuckles will end up with 19 top rate movies and then be stuck with some low rated, black and white horror/western/musical from 1912 that stars a french speaking unknown woman for his 20th pick

I'm not entirely certain how a musical from 1912 would work, but I'd probably watch it too

I'll start looking to fill categories sooner than you think. But for the first few rounds I am more for getting my favorites than filling categories.

For my 3rd pick, I'm taking another blockbuster movie that I think everyone here has probably seen and probably quoted. It takes care of categories 4, 11 and 22.

Say hello to my little friend!

You have to play the soundtrack separate from the movie.

I'm gonna fill in the last category I'm worried about right now. Musicals are absolutely not my thing at all, but there is one that I can think of that is endlessly rewatchable and quite possibly the only movie I'd be happy with in this category.

Filling in categories 3, 10, 15 and 21, I'm taking:

I'm going to take what in my mind is the greatest magic movie of all time. In addition, I also think it is the most quotable movie of all time. So much so, that my wife does not let me watch it anymore while she is in the room.

With that said, Team Happy Days third selection in the POG Movie Draft is:

Even though it only fulfills #s 3 and 20, I'm perfectly ok with my selection here

Here's a black and white drama from the 50s that you might have heard of. I've got my troublesome categories out the way and now it's time to pick some incredible movies. This movie is far far better than the 2 I've drafted so far and I think I'm kinda lucky that it's still around:

Considered both those movies for my last pick but settled for ticking off boxes instead. But at least now I know I won't have to pick a movie that I don't particularly like.

Yeah that's my thought; I will get only movies I like this draft, even if I don't get my top 20 movies 1-20

I wanna snag a Hitchcock and a 50s movie now

North by Northwest

Just a great movie and the most fun of the Hitchcocks I've seen

Categories 7, 14, 18

Solid pick

not my favourite Hitchcock, but definitely in my top 3 of his movies (and I've seen 28 of his movies)

if tchaz shows, we can make a pick run

if he doesn't, I can send to eyebooger or IANAWW to draft it for me if they'll be around and volunteer. I have maybe an hour left before bed.

I would be pretty rustled if tchaz takes my pick.
