Man, if we do the 80`s draft I so so so want one of the firsts to pick. I hope I get a lucky draw!

Think we can do 12 rounds with the 80s?

We could. With 15 people or even more it would get close, but I think there are a lot of great 80s movies. Totally different from the 90s, but I think it would be fun to do it.

no problem at all...hell, I could do it all by myself.

there should be a lot of things to watch from the 80s and later drafts, i've seen nearly all of them picked in 90s and 00s (just counted from 90s havent seen like 16 of em)

btw, I love the Tremors pick. It's a damn entertaining flick.

Yeah The further you go back the better it gets in my mind. Thats why I opted out of the 2000-2010 draft. Nothing much in the last 10 years impressed me all that much.

I think 80s would be my favorite. But there are also many great 70s movies I love.

60s had also great ones but I haven`t seen too much of them. My favorite movie of all time is from the 60s and features tunnels, motorcycles and nazis.

yah yah can't wait for 30's draft

I'll take Heart of Darkness: a filmmakers apocalypse. Write up in a couple hours.

Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse (1991) Dir. Fax Bahr and George Kickenlooper



This documentary complies footage and interviews from the making of one of the greatest films of all time, Apocalypse Now.

In the opening interview Coppola summarizes the making of AN perfectly;

"We were in the jungle, there were too many of us, we had access to too much money, too much equipment, and little by little we went insane."

Few films can claim that they literally almost killed their stars. Coppola and Sheen half joke that they paid for the greatness of AN with years off theirs lives and this documentary makes a pretty good case that this statement is no hyperbole.

I take Chekist (1992)
write up has images which are most likely NSFW, but i assume i can inline them, cause it is not porn?

NSFW

I am heading out, so I will post my last pick and will pick something else if D1iabol1cal snipes me.

With my last pick I take

LOL, 11th round for The Crying Game ??????, that's like 150 movies ahead of TCG just from the 90's, WTH

I'm guessing most of the drafters haven't seen it?

I really need to be in the 80's draft to bring some sense

My 11th pick write-up:

Get Shorty, Barry Sonnenfeld, 1995





Not sure why the two comedies I've chosen for this decade are about the film business, but I'm sure that says something about me.

Get Shorty is the best Elmore Leonard adaptation ever made. And there's been a lot of them. It's about Chili Palmer leaving New York to chase down a crooked deadbeat for the mob. He ends up in Los Angeles, where he realizes his street smarts are perfect for being a Hollywood producer.

John Travolta as Chili is perfect. This is his best role ever - yes, even better than in Pulp Fiction. He oozes charisma and style. He is the definition of cool.

Rene Russo as a former scream queen,Danny DeVito as the biggest movie star in the world, Gene Hackman as a 4th rate producer...all are terrific. Plus you have Bette Midler, Delroy Lindo, David Paymer, James Gandolfini and Denis Farina.

This is quite possibly the funniest movie of the decade. Perfect.

My picks:

Trois Coleurs Trilogy
Reservoir Dogs
The Piano
The Player
Heavenly Creatures
Hard Boiled
The Limey
The Grifters
La Reine Margot
The Grifters
Get Shorty

get shorty is barely decent

it's okay to have a **** opinion.

sorry dom but that is bottom 10 of the draft easily

Get Shorty was great! The sequel, not so much. Get Shorty was definitely on my list of possibles.

hahahahahaha....I guess you don't know funny.

well as someone posted comedy is the most subjective genre but I don't find get shorty very funny at all, despite trying very hard. It's def no the player

it's a lot better than Mrs. Doubtfire though

Get Shorty is awesome and tips the toe perfectly between over the top and realism. interesting pick with Pickpocket, will have to go see it. If you were to tell me a Mainland chinese film would be picked in this draft, I would not have guessed this one.

The posts in this draft (not the picks, although they could be better) have gotten so tilting.
