CR voting list:
Phoenix - Take the Money and Run 1st
Edearsenal - Victor Victoria 2nd
Siddon - Ghost Town 3rd
Cricket - Knives Out 4th
Allaby - Bugsy Malone 5th
Ueno - Black Belt Jones 6th
Takoma - The Bank Dick 7th

Thanks to Phoenix I've become a Woody Allen fan and I use to not be able to stand his films.

[Takoma11]

Takoma chose A Nous La Liberte for me?! How awesome!!

I watched it last year for the 2021 Film Challenge. Glad you liked it! I felt, no joking, slightly physically ill trying to pick things people would find funny. Maybe because there's nothing worse than showing someone something you find funny and them not laughing.

Pink Panther WAS a long shot for Takoma. My second choice for her was Army of Darkness (1992) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106308/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_10)

Would have been a great choice, but I'd already seen it!

Also, honestly, I liked everything that I watched except for Jackass (which I knew was kind of a loving middle finger nom anyway, so I didn't feel too bad disliking it). It was just putting them in order, and there weren't huge gaps at all. A great set of films.

Thanks, everyone! Great hall!

Congratulations CR and thank you for running this, I really enjoyed it.Thanks, good to know.

I prefer your original method of using the MoFo list as a guide to what we choose for others. So many people said they had already seen their choices that my head was spinning:eek: and it was hard for me to keep track of it all. I hope you'll run the next one. Because damn this was a lot of work!

[PHOENIX74]

Oooooooh, 2nd! Not too bad, though I have to admit that one of my picks for someone who had to withdraw was a second-rate third choice I cooked up under pressure and wouldn't have gone well.

Congrats to Citizen Rules and thanks to everyone for some great picks for me!

My voting list :

1 - Brand Upon the Brain! (2006)
2 - Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001)
3 - Kung Fu Hustle (2004)
4 - The Player (1992)
5 - Swiss Army Man (2016)
6 - Arsenic and Old Lace (1944)
7 - Frankenhooker (1990)
8 - Visitor Q (2001)
9 - The Hospital (1971)
10 - Arthur (1981)

I would have absolutely loved Happiness if I hadn't of seen it already.

It was on my list for last year as well and didn't get to it si pretty happy when I saw it. Thank You.

And yeah it IS tricky to pick comedies for others but all all it worked out quite nicely.
