[Citizen Rules]

I had them at:

#2 The Last Picture Show
#3 Blue Ruin

I'd seen The Last Picture Show but it was well worth rewatching again.

I was surprised at how much I liked Blue Ruin, it was because it didn't linger on the violent scenes like Tarantino would've. Very cool, more obscure nom, I like those.

[MovieMeditation]

I, Daniel Blake was my 3rd. Honestly 1 to 3 was a really really close run. Love them all. And this was a first watch that really hit me. Great film. Definitely gonna check out more Loach after this.

[edarsenal]

For as much as I loved I, Daniel, it only made #7 for me, glad to see it do so well

mine so far:
1) Joker (#7)
2) Blue Ruin (#6)
3)
4) The Last Picture Show (#5)
5)
6) Shine (#9)
7) I, Daniel Blake (TIE #4)
8)
9) State of Siege (#10)
10) Waco: The Rules of Engagement (#11)
11) Dronningen (#8)

[ahwell]

Late here!! But here is my ranking so far

2. The Last Picture Show
5. I, Daniel Blake
6. Queen of Hearts
7. Blue Ruin
8. Shine
9. Waco
10. Joker
11. State of Siege

[Citizen Rules]

I had I, Daniel Blake at #8, what is it tied with?

[Wyldesyde19]

Waco was number one for me. I think it was the most compelling and even handed film representing the FBI raid as unjust.
Had Blue Ruin last

[rauldc14]

Tied 4th: Mildred Pierce (actually they tied for 3rd theoretically)

I've seen a couple of revenge films that had a more cerebral aesthetic that were very good and Ruin easily joins them

[ahwell]

Mildred Pierce was my #4, great movie.

[MovieMeditation]

Mildred Pierce I had at 7.

There were 6 others I enjoyed more but I thought it was rather good.

[Citizen Rules]

Mildred Pierce is in my top 10 profile so not surprising I voted it #1, though often I don't vote my own movie in first place.

[edarsenal]

Another film that, even though I did very much enjoy, was unable to go higher than #8

mine so far:
1) Joker (#6)

[Citizen Rules]

Even though I didn't really like Inglorious Basterds, a lot of people did so it's deserving, nice choice Ahwell! Actually I didn't hate it and I had it at #7.

I was hoping for The Matrix to be #1 as it's so influential and it's got cool shades too! It was my #4

[rauldc14]

Tarantino becomes the first two time winner.

[rauldc14]

Fun fact: Mildred Pierce was in the lead before the last 3 ballots came in.

[Citizen Rules]

Alright, let's kick the tires and start the fires and get #23 started

[rauldc14]

Inglorious Basterds placed 10th in the 7th HOF. That's nuts.

[Miss Vicky]

Inglorious Basterds placed 10th in the 7th HOF. That's nuts.

Different group of people, different films.

Mistique, gbgoodies, Sane, Daniel M, Friendly Mushroom, Gatsby, Bluedeed, Zotis, seanc, Swan, pussy galore, and Guap all either don't really participate in HOFs anymore are aren't on the forum anymore. Cricket only participates sporadically.

[rauldc14]

Just thought it was interesting. Both the 7th and 22nd were stacked

[Wyldesyde19]

Congrats Ahwell on the win!
Also, Neiba’s reign of terror ends! Mwahaha!!

[neiba]

[Citizen Rules]

So nobody wants to host the 23rd? I'll do it then unless someone else wants to.

I haven't done one in awhile. I'm game.

[Citizen Rules]

I haven't done one in awhile. I'm game. Fine by me, I'm swapped with work and don't really have the time, but I'll join of course. I'll send you my nom now.

[edarsenal]

Miss Vicky's hosting??

SWWEEEET

And I hated Inglorious Basterds. I didn't look it up, but I'm sure that it was last on my list.

[CosmicRunaway]

I missed the last half of the reveal because I couldn't stay up any longer, but I expected to miss the entire thing so being here for half is better than not seeing any of it haha.

I had my nomination Blue Ruin at #3. The Last Picture Show was my #9. It didn't connect with me, but out of the other films at the very bottom of my list, if I had to rewatch one I'd probably pick it.

I'm sad that I, Daniel Blake didn't do better. I was hoping for it to win, though I didn't personally rank it at the top of my ballot. I was close though, at #2. I quite liked Mildred Pierce, but there were just so many other films in this HoF that I also liked, that it ended up down at #7.

The Matrix was the film I had at #1. It's one of my all time favourites. Inglorious Basterds was part of that set of three I struggled to decide the order of the most. It ultimately fell behind Joker and Dronningen and landed at #6.

Here's my full list:

01. The Matrix (1999)
02. I, Daniel Blake (2016)
03. Blue Ruin (2013)
04. Joker (2019)
05. Dronningen (2019)
06. Inglorious Basterds (2009)
07. Mildred Pierce (1945)
08. Shine (1996)
09. The Last Picture Show (1971)
10. State of Siege (1972)
11. Waco: The Rules of Engagement (1997)

I really enjoyed this Hall of Fame. Thanks for hosting raul! And congrats on picking another winning film ahwell! :up:

[neiba]

I haven't done one in awhile. I'm game.


Quick, let's all pick musicals!!!!!!

[Citizen Rules]

Inglourious Basterds now hangs in the hallowed halls of MoFo's Hall of Fame (https://www.movieforums.com/community/showthread.php?anchor=1&p=1836290#post1836290)

Still regarding edarsenal 's pick, Shine, today I read an interview with Maria João Pires, a portuguese pianist who happens to be one of the greatest musicians alive, that I think is related to the film. Maybe it's not such a relatable reality for non-musicians, but I think it's important to realize how much David's father attitude towards music lead to the breakdown.

(roughly translated)

"Music competitions today are responsible for the future disappearance of music, for the destruction of everything, for making impossible the kids of today to ever be able to express the way we did and to become artists, musicians. Competitions give a perception that is totally false, artificial, wrong and that only brings illusions of things that do not exist. How can one be an artist if the goal is to win? But to win what? Celebrity? Music doesn't generate celebrity, music generates something that has to do with our deep nature, with our conscious, with an opening that connects us to the universe, that connects with a truth, that connects to something that is good. Celebrity has nothing good about it because it separates us from the group, it makes us different. For what?"

THAT is an excellent and very eloquent argument regarding competitions.
THANK YOU for sharing that!!
