Nice. Thin Red Line was something like 6th or so on my sort of list.

Er, maybe a bit lower. Top 10 anyhow.

I think it's Malick's worst movie by far too. And it's one of the best of the 90s, haha. I suppose if other directors waited 20 years between movies...

Never liked Thin Red Line when it came out. Maybe I should try again.

Seriously? The second round has only just started and you don't know how it hasn't been picked already?

There are so many great movies from this decade and everyone is bound to have different tastes. The Big Lebowski wouldn't even be in my top 100 of the decade, but I know a lot of people have it as their favourite movie.

That's fine, but people really shouldn't be complaining about certain movies only being picked now this early in the draft. I have a huge list of movies that could have easily been picked round 1 and haven't, but it's no surprise.

All movies picked so far are worthy of first/second round picks, so you shouldn't let personal preference get in the way.

i understand some people's disappointment with it and if your main goal is to be entertained when watching it you may not like it (not that it's a bad thing to watch movies for entertainment that's mainly why i watch too), like has already been said it's not his best movie, but it's still so much better in certain aspects than most other films of this genre it remains amazing...

you just have to take it for what it is, a film about the variety of atrocities and hardships of war... as opposed to a story about a war... i guess that's how i see it anyways

Approx how many times seen in bold: Goodfellas 25x, Pulp Fiction 300x, Fargo 6x, Rushmore 4x, Miller's Crossing 5x, The Matrix 8x, Fight Club 10x, The Shawshank Redemption 12x, Braveheart 5x, Unforgiven 1x, The Silence of the Lambs 12x, Trainspotting 2x, Colors 1x, Leaving Las Vegas 1x, Before Sunrise 2x

I've seen PF far too many times. Could be even higher or possibly a few less although it's at least 250x.

Wow! I couldn't watch the same movies that often. I fear I would start to hate them. I really like most (not all) of those movies a lot and don't think I have seen any of them more than 3 or 4 times. I make a concentrated effort not to overwatch anything as I feel it ruins future viewings for me. I typically like at least a couple of years between viewings to keep them fresh. Besides that is a lot of time you could be expanding your horizons with.

thanks CRAI for posting Fight Club for me.

And now the 4 others of my top 5 are gone, but that was to expect.

I must be the anti CptCool or he is the anti me

His first two picks are 2 of my very least favorite movies ever. Naked is definitely my most hated as stated in the most hated thread.

I like it. Good movie. Not in my top 100 (er, of all time) but almost def in top 250 which puts it in top 1% of stuff I've seen... so it ain't bad.

You watch a lot of movies.

About to go to sleep, feel free to pass my pick along to somebody else if you are too. Can't do writeup of any sorts on phone anyway.

Personally I feel The Big Lebowski is a tiny bit over-rated. It's great no doubt but wouldn't be in my top five Coen Bros movies.

I think this is probably somewhat to do with the fact that the movie really appeals to the general demographic who inhabit poker forums and most of my friends too.

i thought it was my #3 favorite movie of the decade, but just realized it's my #5. With Pulp Fiction being the third. i wanted to draft it, but drafting two Coen bros movies would have a bit too much. Going to draft my #4 favorite movie in round 6 or so.
