I don't find Viggo hot (my taste in men is a bit... odd. Exhibit A: Joaquin Phoenix) but :up: for the sex and violence.

My rationale for picking Mary and Max for you? Fredrick likes cats, so maybe he's more of a sensitive guy? I'll give him this one. :laugh:

After thinking about a bunch of movies that include your likes, I decided on a great movie that just avoids your dislikes. My biggest concern here is if you were avoiding it for some reason.[/center]
I had no clue who picked this for me. Great choice. :up:

@Citizen Rules...you didn't like The Mission? Perhaps I am reading things wrong.

Congrats @neiba!! and your psychic powers!!

Excellent HoF, @cricket!! Congrats in making it at 2nd place and a helluva job hosting!!!!

Wyldesyde19 08-07-20 11:58 PM

Rashomon was a good pick. Didn’t quite rise up to Yojimbo, Kagemusha and Seven Samurai. I really need to watch more older Japanese films, sadly.
Adaptation from Neiba was a perfect selection.
Congrats Neiba!

And I did something right here too🙂

You're the youngest person to ever say that to me, but I will! :cool: Thanks for recommending a great one ahwell.

My second choice for you was History of Violence one I prefer over 25th Hour. Should have gone with what I liked more myself instead of what I think someone else would like.

John-Connor 08-08-20 05:04 AM

Congrats psychic Neiba, well played!

John-Connor 08-08-20 05:11 AM

Made 3 fatal rec choices in this hof;

1. Gattaca instead of Le Samourai for Inmate
1. 25th Hour instead of A History of Violence for MV
2. Snowpiercer instead of The Player for Cricket

John-Come and See (1st)
As soon as I came to this it was a no brainer. It blew me away and I see it the same way for you.
One of the best recs ever, not just hof, thanks! (Added to my top 100 of all time, and probably top 10 War movies of all time)

Great job hosting Cricket this format was most entertaining!

Also Martin Sheen wins 'most miserable' gif! :D

Rashomon is not one of my favorite Japanese movies, or even one of my favorite Kurosawa movies, but it's considered a must watch by many film buffs.

I could but I'd prefer not to just because of my lack of time.
