MoFo Battle Royale Directors Edition Nominations
 
Yeah, I thought about this once Harry started the character competition. So I decided to talk to Yoda and ask if I could do this one after the other one ended, and he said it'd be okay. So I guess I'll start up with the nomination thread. Basically this is just like the other competition, but instead of using characters, we're going to use directors.

So basically just nominate your favorite directors. I'll give everyone 2 directors of their choice. When we get to 32, I'll get the polls started up. I guess I'll start it off, then.

If you do, make him watch any western. At least he's seen the best.

Wow, we already have 14 and it hasn't even been an hour yet. I might be able to get this started up sooner than I thought.

:nope: he hasn't seen any Leone! Therefore not the best and i like The Wild Bunch way more than Dances with Wolves

He's right, the only western I liked was The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, which I really liked. I despise the rest of them pretty much.

He's seen Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid, though. ;) He does need to check out some of the Leone films, though, like finishing off The Man With No Name trilogy. I'd recommend checking out The Searchers too, Lennon.

Yeah I know, I need to cross some more stuff off, but I don't really care about it. The important thing is that I've seen it.
