Mofo Nominees: 1963

[hello101]

.

[Citizen Rules]

What? no Spencer's Mountain:( Did anybody even watch it? Or considerate it?

I'm not surprise about #1. I'm surprised that #2 is so high. I'm shocked that number #8 made the list.

(I'm not complaining I like those films!)

[hello101]

They're not in order. :p

[Citizen Rules]

What was I thinking???:D

[rauldc14]

I've only seen four of them unfortunately.

[TokeZa]

I have seen five, im surprised that The Silence didnt make it :(

[Citizen Rules]

Which 4 Rauldc?

[rauldc14]

The Birds, From Russia With Love, 8 1/2, and Charade

[Citizen Rules]

Same question TokeZa.

[TokeZa]

I have actually seen 6, but i cant really remember From Russia With Love from the other Bond films.

The other 5 i have seen is Contempt, 8½, The Birds, The Great Escape and The Haunting. I have High and Low lying around so i should probably see that at one point.

[TokeZa]

Can i get a recap of what happens now? Do we have to vote again?

[hello101]

Send in a list of five (ranked) movies from the list.

[mark f]

We actually picked the winner next in the other three years no matter what any set of earlier rules said. :)

I watched Spencer's Mountain a while back. As I recall, the scenery in the film was beautiful, but the movie was only okay. I'm not surprised that it didn't make the list.

That's pretty close to what I expected to see on the list.

The only three movies that I haven't seen on the list are High and Low, 8-1/2, and Contempt. My guess is that they're all foreign (non-english) films.

[Citizen Rules]

Me neither. I know I liked Russia with Love but can't remember the details.

I've seen:
1. Hud
2. The Birds
3. Charade
4. The Great Escape
5. From Russia With Love
8. It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad World
9. The Haunting

[Citizen Rules]

...The only three movies that I haven't seen on the list are High and Low, 8-1/2, and Contempt. My guess is that they're all foreign (non-english) films. Those are the same 3 that I haven't seen. Yes they are foreign language films, I'm sure there great films, I've heard of 8-1/2 before.

[cricket]

Fortunately I've seen all 10 so I just voted. My top 7 made the final 10. The other 3 I voted for were The Silence, This Sporting Life, and Shock Corridor.

[Citizen Rules]

When is the deadline for the final list?

Cricket, I've never heard of The Silence, This Sporting Life, and Shock Corridor. I should look them up.

Most of my choices made it, but not all. 101 Hello, Can we reveal our first list now?

[hello101]

Deadline is a week from now. You can reveal your list.

[hello101]

I figured that delaying one more week is kinda pointless as I already know the winner from the nominees list, I'm just going to reveal and allow the 60s tournament to continue.

The Winner is (with a 42 point total)....

HUD

It's a shame This Sporting Life never made the list , I voted for that too, it's a really good film

HUD

oh is that it? I never even voted on the final 10. Does that mean Hud was so far ahead that anyone else voting wouldn't have affected it?

[cricket]

I think you should wait until the deadline to tally up. Some of us would like to know how all 10 stack up after everyone has voted.

[rauldc14]

I'll make the 1964 thread tonight.

[cricket]

I'm really at a loss for words for this thread.

[the samoan lawyer]

I'm a bit lost myself, what happened?

[cricket]

Am I wrong in assuming that a 1st place vote nets a film 5 points? If not, then at least 9 people would've had to have voted for Hud already, only a couple days into voting. That doesn't seem realistic. Naming a winner isn't the only objective here either; it's also to get people to watch these movies. What this says is don't bother watching the movies because your vote doesn't matter. What if someone ordered a couple DVDs to watch this weekend, like I normally do for these tournaments? Outrageous!

[TokeZa]

Im with Cricket on this!

I think this is a pretty ridiculous way to end a tournament!

[Citizen Rules]

I'm a bit lost myself, what happened?I'm wondering that too.

[gbgoodies]

So does this mean that I don't have to watch the three foreign films? :confused:

[rauldc14]

Have no fear, 1964 will be here!

[neiba]

I didn't see this thread until it was too late, but I'll be part of the 1964! :)

I based the final votes off the nominees list, Hud had the most votes in total. 12 people sent in lists, I think that's a fair assessment without needing to go into final voting. I'm sorry if someone ordered DVDs for the event, I was under the impression everyone "obtained" their copies. Chill out cricket, 1964 coming up, party like it's your last day on earth. :cool:

[cricket]

So you're saying you based this on everyone's original 10 nominations?

[hello101]

Yes.

[cricket]

Did you take into account that people will have to vote for movies they didn't vote for before? Or the fact that some people will be voting for movies they hadn't seen yet when they submitted their original 10 nominations? By your logic, there's no point in having a second round, which is what happened.

[hello101]

Okay, what happens now?

[Captain Spaulding]

I thought hello101 was still too new to be trusted with this anyway. Someone else should take up the mantle.

[Godoggo]

Rauld is taking over, but there is no reason why Rauld can't do the second round of 1963 correctly like it was supposed to be done.

I think we should still continue with 1963 and send our top five to Rauld. I also think that Rauld should continue on with all the years until JJ is ready to take back over, if he wants to. That way it will be done consistently every time.

[rauldc14]

We WILL finish this too, then. Send me your lists by the deadline.

[Godoggo]

Thanks, Rauld. :) Who knows, Hud still may be the winner, but I think without the second round it will feel unfinished.

Not trying to beat you up, Hello, but there could have been a lot of difference in the way people handled the first round if they had believed that to be the only one.

[hello101]

I feel as though adapting the way the event is played would help it remain fresh.

[Godoggo]

I feel as though adapting the way the event is played would help it remain fresh.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but changing the rules mid game is going to be upsetting to people. Those things are usually discussed among the group to see how everyone feels.

Also if this game is played with only one round we are going to have a lot of winners that not everyone has seen. With two rounds everyone has time to watch the top ten if they choose to. It makes people more invested in the game if they have an opinion on the winner one way or another.

[christine]

when is the deadline for the top 5? I've just got to find and watch High and Low

[christine]

Right I've watched High and Low now . That must've been on quite a few lists to have made an appearance on the top 10. Who voted for it? I nearly gave up on it, but it came alive once they left the apartment with all the moody men and got into the action , it was a decent detective film

Did no one else vote for Jason and the Argonauts?

[rauldc14]

I only got lists from two people so far, so just a reminder to send me a ranked top 5 from the list on the first page. I honestly can't remember when the original deadline is but I'm thinking December 19 if that works.

[Citizen Rules]

I suggest you contact 101 and ask him for the ranked top 5 list. He has them. I sent mine to him, I'm not sure I even saved it.

[rauldc14]

Would be easier if you just sent me a new one, Citizens.

[Citizen Rules]

...Did no one else vote for Jason and the Argonauts?

Christine, I didn't vote for it, but I recently watched it and loved the stop motion animation by Ray Harryhausen.

[Citizen Rules]

Would be easier if you just sent me a new one, Citizens.
No it wouldn't. I've already taken my time to make my list, I don't wish to do it again. Besides many people won't be re-submitting their list to you, which then blows the results of the Top 5. Just message 101 and tell him to send the list.

Better yet...Hello 101...you asked for the privilege of running the 1963 movies, so now you need to take responsibility and message all the ranked top 5 list to rauldc, so he can finish the job.

[rauldc14]

Really? A list of five among ten movies is too much? :laugh:

[Citizen Rules]

Raul check your PM

[christine]

pm'd mine Rauld

[rauldc14]

Thanks, Christine, I got it.

[the samoan lawyer]

Thats mine sent

[rauldc14]

I sent you a PM, SL. You have to choose between the ten on the first page of this thread. Thanks! Anyways I still need more of your guys lists.

[Citizen Rules]

I sent mine in.

[gbgoodies]

The deadline for this is December 19, right?

I've been very busy because of the holiday season, so I haven't had much time to watch movies this week, especially movies with subtitles, but it should slow down in the next day or two, so I should be able to watch the last 3 movies this week.

[Citizen Rules]

GBG, which list do you mean?

The list for 1964 has a deadline of Jan 1st (I think?)

The other list was the resubmitting of your 5 choices from the 10 nominations of 1963. (Rauldc said he would finish the 1963 list for Hello101)

I mean the part two of the 1963 list. (Top 5 of the Top 10 nominations.)

Yeah, the 19th sounds good. If anyone needs a little extension that's fine.

The 1964 deadline for the first list is Jan 1st.

[gbgoodies]

I should be okay with both deadline dates. I only have a few movies left for the 1963 list, and I've already located the movies.

I've been re-watching the 1964 movies that I've seen many times, so I don't have to pay as much attention to them as I do to movies that I've never seen.

I started early with my 1964 list, so I've already re-watched Fail-Safe, Mary Poppins, Marnie, My Fair Lady, Man's Favorite Sport?, Send Me No Flowers, Kiss Me, Stupid, and What a Way To Go, so I'm in good shape for the 1964 list already.

[rauldc14]

Just a reminder this Friday will be the deadline for 1963. I've gotten about 6 responses thus far, but I was assuming there would be more than that.

[rauldc14]

These darn holidays have me all off. I'll post the winner tonight.

[cricket]

I just have to see Beckett and The Train, and rewatch Dr. Strangelove.

I wanted to see The Killers but can't find it yet.

[mark f]

Those are for '64. :cool:

[cricket]

Ahhh yea

4. The Birds
5. It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World

6. The Great Escape
7. 8 1/2
8. The Silence

[gbgoodies]

The #1 movie on these lists always seems to be too predictable. :shrug:

This was my original top ten list for 1963:
1) Sunday in New York (Jane Fonda, Rod Taylor, Cliff Robertson)
2) Charade (Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn)
3) Bye Bye Birdie (Dick Van Dyke, Janet Leigh, Ann-Margret)

6) Move Over, Darling (Doris Day, James Garner)

8) The Sword in the Stone (Walt Disney)
9) The Prize (Paul Newman, Elke Sommer, Edward G. Robinson)
10) Captain Newman, M.D. (Gregory Peck, Tony Curtis)

You'll notice that most of my top ten wasn't even nominated, so I had to completely redo my list for the top five portion.


Then, this was my top five list from the MoFo top ten nominees:
1) Charade
2) It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
3) High and Low
4) The Birds
5) From Russia With Love
