Re: 18th Mofo Hall of Fame
I'm in and PahaK will hate my nomination:D

Good job:up: Siddon. I like your rules/guidelines, this should be fun!
I'll send my nom soon as I can make up my mind:p I have several I'm considering. One question, how does this work?, "I'm also fine if you want to submit a list of 5 potential noms for feedback from the participants" Would we submit the list of 5 potential noms on the thread? or to you by PM? and would we do that now? or at a later date? |

Just do a list of five, Raiders of the Lost Ark Seance on a Wet Afternoon The Little Stranger Forbidden Planet That Hamilton Woman So instead of hearing about how XYZ is going to hate this movie it gives them an option to get early feedback. These things run 3-4 months so I think this way it might allow for a more competitive competition. |

Re: 18th Mofo Hall of Fame
I'm in again. Will need a bit of time (a couple of days) to ponder what I'm nominating.
|
Re: 18th Mofo Hall of Fame
Just rewatched my nomination and still liked it a lot so I'll keep it :D
I hope @cricket joins as he might actually like it or at least I've got the impression that he's into brutal feel-bad movies. |

Post a short list and I'll give you feedback |
Re: 18th Mofo Hall of Fame
2001: A Space Odyssey
The Godfather The Wizard of Oz The Dark Knight Citizen Kane |
The Godfather - was nominated last year, came in fourth for BP, still biter but might want to pass on that.
2001: A Space Odyssey - watched it again this summer, liked it a lot. Citizen Kane- well it's my all-time favorite The Wizard of Oz - wouldn't mind a rewatch The Dark Knight - it's a good pick in my eyes |

Re: 18th Mofo Hall of Fame
Anyway, I'll probably join but am debating on what to nominate. I've never gone into one of these with a strong eye on winning and I don't intend to start that now, so I probably won't post a list for consideration. I'll just go with whatever my gut tells me, like usual.

Re: 18th Mofo Hall of Fame
So... now what. Sorry, do I just nominate one of the movies in my list after people have given their feedback? Like, whichever one was received the best?

Wait a few days for more feedback and once you feel strongly about one or the other PM me your nom. It's your call |

Yeah those were my five, you can take the two that you want I've got two replacements Love and Mercy (2015) and Touch of Evil (1958) Just do the list and see what happens more information isn't worse than less information. |

Re: 18th Mofo Hall of Fame
Would like to join this but probably won't have time to commit.

Re: 18th Mofo Hall of Fame
All right, now that I better understand what is going on, here is my new, revised list of possible nominees:
Jaws Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Ben-Hur Monty Python and the Holy Grail 2001: A Space Odyssey |

Re: 18th Mofo Hall of Fame
Ben-Hur wouldn't be eligible, it's too long and doesn't meet the time requirements.
|

I think we should go back to the original 240 minutes or under rule for the next HoF, there's a number of movies that aren't allowed otherwise. |

Re: 18th Mofo Hall of Fame
Snow White would be a solid animation for a General HoF and the others are worthwhile, @ahwell
and with @Siddon's list: Raiders of the Lost Ark -- always a fav Seance on a Wet Afternoon -- have not seen The Little Stranger -- haven't seen Forbidden Planet -- surprisingly a good ole Sci Fi film I STILL haven't sat down and watched That Hamilton Woman -- good flick, been a long time since I've seen it |
Re: 18th Mofo Hall of Fame
Hello all, I know that I have had a shaky past when it comes to HoFs, but I was recently reminiscing about my glory MoFo days and am considering joining this. Assuming that you guys will let me.
|
Re: 18th Mofo Hall of Fame
Eh, I'm not trying to be mean but if I remember correctly there were multiple HOFs you didn't finish and idk if I want to join if there's too many questionable nominees that won't finish. Of course, I'm not host so my opinion is worth nothing.
|
Re: 18th Mofo Hall of Fame
@Siddon-
Raiders is the only one I've seen- it's pretty good, not one of my favorites. |

Yup just keep in mind 1 movie the first 2 weeks 2 movies the first month 4 movies the first 6 weeks I'm hoping for a higher quality of nom's so hopefully it would inspire people to not drop out Also what films are you thinking of? |
Re: 18th Mofo Hall of Fame
Would it be possible for me to just be an honorary member, and people won't have to watch my movie until I've watched all of the other noms.
Also no hard feelings against anyone who doesn't want me in the HoF I've committed to these things and not followed through at least 3 times it's totally understandable. |

1 movie the first 2 weeks 2 movies the first month 4 movies the first 6 weeks You should expand that to include 6 movies (by such and such time), 8 movies, 10 movies, etc.. so that someone doesn't watch only 4 movies then set on their ass until they drop out at the end. |
Re: 18th Mofo Hall of Fame
Like @Miss Vicky and @Citizen Rules I don't do HoFs to compete. I'm interested in seeing films others consider good but that wouldn't have landed on my watchlist otherwise (I've even enjoyed few of those). I also try to nominate films that I like a lot and that everyone hasn't already seen.

Seance on a Wet Afternoon The Little Stranger Forbidden Planet That Hamilton Woman Haven't seen the others but Seance and Little Stranger look interesting. I think there's a high chance I'd hate Hamilton Woman but who knows, maybe it'll surprise me. Of your replacements Love & Mercy doesn't sound too interesting to me. Touch of Evil I've seen ages ago and it's been on my rewatch list for a while now (I remember it being quite good).

If we have 10 entrants then the deadline is 10 weeks so they have a month to finish 6 films or they are out. If we get 15 participants I'll add another cut line but it seems to me that when people drop out they do so at the pre-mid point. This is also easier for me because I'm not going to be around much in February I have hard deadlines I can send out the pm's make the checks and come back. |

Re: 18th Mofo Hall of Fame
Generals need more animation so I'd be good with Snow White.
|
Re: 18th Mofo Hall of Fame
Okay, screw it. I've been debating on what to nominate. I was torn between three movies - one is a long time favorite that I've considered for several HOFs and think could do well, another is a long time favorite that probably won't do well but is relevant to the upcoming countdown, and the third is a recent discovery that I really loved, is relevant to the countdown, and probably would do well. As illogical as it might be, I'm going with option #2.
|
Re: 18th Mofo Hall of Fame
I enjoy participating in HOFs, but I have a huge backlog right now of stuff I need to watch, so I would prefer to wait until after the reveal to check what's been nominated and if I can find everything, and then possibly send in a nom, if that's ok with you, @Siddon.
|
Re: 18th Mofo Hall of Fame
I'm going unconventional with this one.

Re: 18th Mofo Hall of Fame
When's the big reveal? It feels like ages since I've been in an HoF and I'm looking forward to being in one again.
|
Re: 18th Mofo Hall of Fame
I changed my mind last minute on my nomination. I think it could do decently, but definitely not a winning contender.

Re: 18th Mofo Hall of Fame
My original pick was actually going to go way out there and I was going to nominate The Great Mouse Detective. I've been thinking about how seriously underrated I think it is as both an animation film and just for Disney in general. But I ultimately decided to go a different way. One of these times I will pull the trigger and do an animation nomination in a general.

Re: 18th Mofo Hall of Fame
The movie I was going to go with would've probably came in last place:( I love it! and I know a couple of MoFos do too, but some hate it. I might use it another time, it is so fun to watch (at least for me).
|
Well we haven't gotten an entrant in a few days...so let's roll out the reveal.....
|
The First Nomination....
from @ahwell #49 on the AFI list of 100 Films Disney's first major animated film.... https://fanaru.com/snow-white-and-th...ven-dwarfs.gif Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) |
The 2nd Nomination....
A cult classic if their ever was one...nominated by @MissVicky Bubba-Ho Tep (2002) https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedi...a/22932799.gif |
Re: 18th Mofo Hall of Fame
Haven't seen either of the first two noms. I'm not a huge fan of animation so I don't expect to like Snow White that much but I try to see it with open mind. Bubba-Ho Tep interests me due to its cult status but other than that I have no idea what to expect.
|
The Third Nomination
from @Joel the film that ressurected M Knight Shyamalan's career that went on to register almost 300 million dollars on the Box office and setup the number #1 movie in America.... https://horrornews.net/wp-content/up...2017/01/s1.jpg Split.... wait not that split..... sorry actually not that Split....this is 1989's Split https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...%28film%29.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVVU8cA7YIg oh boy..... |
Re: 18th Mofo Hall of Fame
Oh boy indeed :D 0/3 seen this far.
|
Our 4th Nomination
from @pahaK Brimstone(2016) https://78.media.tumblr.com/9f6786b1...42jgo7_540.gif https://66.media.tumblr.com/d68be046...95bto1_540.gif https://em.wattpad.com/00d6dd82c2cc0...3934332e676966 https://66.media.tumblr.com/6ad0f585...ao6_r1_250.gif which based on the gifs I've seen based entirely on people staring at the camera.... |
Our 5th nomination from
@edarsenal Here's a fun fact for you kids...when people bring up how Logan or The Dark Knight should have been the first comic book film to receive a best picture nom...I submit, Ed's pick https://i.imgur.com/Jmr9Oye.gif 2002's Road to Perdition Tom Hanks Paul Newman Jude Law directed by Sam Mendes shot by the legendary Conrad Hall |
And let's just make this a Tom Hanks two-fer
Our Sixth Nomination..... nominated by @neiba this is a Best Picture nominee https://media.coveringmedia.com/medi...8/elic_01a.jpg Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (2011) if ever a picture and title matched up well it's that.... |
Fun Fact: Extremely Loud and Incredibly close received a BP nomination as well as a nomination for Max Von Sydow for supporting actor another film that registered a supporting actor nomination
Our Seventh Nomination from @rauldc14 https://fgmxi4acxur9qbg31y9s3a15-wpe...-c-default.jpg The Florida Project (2017) |
So I know what you are thinking...five films from post 2000 that's got to be a record.
Well here's a film that received no Oscar Nominations...didn't sent the box office on fire...and stars an actor from the incredibly popular The Last Jedi our Eighth Nomination from myself https://assets3.thrillist.com/v1/ima...variable_c.jpg 2018's The Little Stranger |
Re: 18th Mofo Hall of Fame
Road to Perdition is the first one I've seen (besides my own). I think it was OK but it's been a long time. The other Hanks I haven't seen. Florida Project has been on my watchlist for months and now I'll finally get a good excuse to actually watch it.
EDIT: Little Stranger still looks interesting. |
And our final nomination...so far
from @CitizenRules https://cmga360society.files.wordpre...ilm-stills.jpg Valley of the Dolls (1967) I may or maynot be drinking and doing pills during some of these films I make no promises.... |

Besides my own nomination, I've seen Snow White, Road to Perdition, and Valley of the Dolls. It's been quite a long time since I last watched Road to Perdition and Valley of the Dolls though, and I don't remember much about them.

Re: 18th Mofo Hall of Fame
Okay, @Citizen Rules I'm sorry but I'm probably going to hate your nom :D It doesn't look like my film at all.
|
Re: 18th Mofo Hall of Fame
Everyone ok with me entering post reveal?
Still deciding between two but I want to rewatch one tonight before submitting. Both are from the 90s ;) |
So
@Yam12, @Mijafrost, and @Nope1172 You've seen the nom's this is a very light Hall of Fame only 9 nom's many of them short this should be a very easy one to finish. So I'll give you guys till the 1st to decide if you want to enter or if you want to just watch and review that's okay as well. The deadlines are as follows

I thought you were iffy on that one and went with your first choice...

It's not going to come in last |

Re: 18th Mofo Hall of Fame
I don't think Im gonna take part in this one. Maybe in the future
|
This looks like an interesting HOF.
The only ones I've seen were Snow White when I was a child, and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close back when it was released. Never heard of 1989's Split or CitizenRule's correct nom. Bubba Ho-Tep, Road to Perdition and The Florida Project have all been on my "must watch list." I think though that unfortunately I'll have to skip this one... haven't been able to decide on a nom and as I said earlier I have piles of stuff to watch. If I can get that out of the way hopefully I can join another HOF soon. If I do end up watching any of these titles during the run, I'll stop by and share my review (though obviously I wouldn't take part in the voting). |
And we've got two more entrants...
Coming in at Nomination number 10 from @Yam12 a film on the 1001 films to see before you die, the film that almost broke Martin Scorsese https://d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.ne...-1-700x300.jpg The King of Comedy (1982) |
And here we are at #11 from @Nathaniel
we started this list with Snow White I figure we would end with it's almost opposite version the horror/thriller anime https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/n9N-...54.41_AM.0.png Perfect Blue (1997) |
Perfect Blue is an excellent film and one that's in my personal collection. :up:
Haven't seen The King of Comedy yet. |
Re: 18th Mofo Hall of Fame
Only seen my nom out of all of these.
Out of the nominated films, Perfect Blue and The Florida Project are the ones I want to see the most. |
https://pmcvariety.files.wordpress.c...0&h=563&crop=1
The Little Stranger is a film that is difficult to genre classify it's quite clearly an adaptation of a novel as you can practically see each chapter break in the film. The basic plot of the story is a doctor (Domnhall Gleeson) is called to a ramshackled estate of the Ayers family. Strange things happen the story progresses and when the film ends you are left with a number of questions. If you enjoyed Jane Eyre, Rebecca, and The Haunting this film is up your alley. If you need things explained to you or you are not willing to accept different interpretations of character and motive this film is going to be a huge problem for you. My biggest problem was with the casting, Gleeson and Wilson are both very good, however you've got continuity issues with the ages of the characters and the actors. All the characters are really compelling, Gleeson is a very stiff upper lip repressed man in his late thirties/early forties. He's sort of an in-between dealing with commoners who disgust him and the wealthy caste who view him as a tool. Ruth Wilson plays an older unmarried sister, stuck in a sort of spinster role. She's put-upon to take care of the estate and her brother a damaged WWII pilot who thanks to gender roles is "running the house". The film touches on a number of issues from the economical to the social to the mystical to at it's core the psychological. Faraday(Gleeson) is an extremely compelling character and you reach a point in the film where your perspective shifts. The problem though is that it feels like it's so close to being a classic but it's just missing a few things but I was moved and affected by it, and others will as well. |
https://hilaritybydefault.com/wp-con.../SW-banner.jpg
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) is an historically significant film this was the first of Disney's 57 features and watching this film again as an adult I well....didn't care for it. Snow White is the story of a princess who is also a servant who falls in love was a prince and the Queen decides because she's pretty she has to die. I mean when you really break down the plot of the film it makes almost no sense. Snow White is then tipped off by the woodsman and she finds shelter with seven dwarfs who mine diamonds yet they all live in a ramshackle cabin...why are they doing this...who knows once again watching this film 80 years later the plot doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Also Snow White as a character...kinda sucks she's needy, bossy and single minded she's led by romantic desires and a sense of achieving the ultimate goal...being a homemaker. Really what this movie is about is set ups for each musical number which I enjoyed for what they were. The animation is fairly rudimentary as the character movements don't seem to fully seem normal I think you have to wait till Pinochio and Fantasia before the films feel finished. What I love about the film is the non-animated handdrawn stills you see pop up every once and while. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c9/59...b31c9e9697.jpg When you can just take a step back and enjoy the art of the film it's fantastic. |
Re: 18th Mofo Hall of Fame
My nom, Seven Days from Now (1957) aka Seven Waves Away aka Abandon Ship! has never been released on DVD so it won't be at your library or on pay per streaming. I do have a couple of links for it. PM me if you need them.
I suggest watching it sooner than later in case those links go missing. It's a short film, only 90 minutes and I guarantee you won't be bored. |
For my own reference:

Re: 18th Mofo Hall of Fame
Really enjoyed the reveals @Siddon, VERY nicely done!!!
Abandon Ship! (Richard Sale, 1957) IMDb Never heard of this one but looking forward to it Brimstone (Martin Koolhoven, 2016) IMDb It looks familiar, but I'm pretty sure I haven't seen it. Still, should be up my alley Bubba Ho-Tep (Don Coscarelli, 2002) IMDb Have seen this and was surprised at the time that I didn't enjoy it. We'll see. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (Stephen Daldry, 2011) IMDb Haven't see this one The Florida Project (Sean Baker, 2017) IMDb Not familiar with this one but I DO enjoy Defoe The King of Comedy (Martin Scorsese, 1982) IMDb Another I didn't like the first time around but who knows. . . The Little Stranger (Lenny Abrahamson, 2018) IMDb Unknown but looks intriguing Pāfekuto burū (Perfect Blue) (Satoshi Kon, 1997) IMDb LOVE this one!! Road to Perdition (Sam Mendes, 2002) IMDb My choice, quite the favorite of mine Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (William Cottrell, David Hand, et al., 1937) IMDb ALWAYS in the mood to see some very old school Disney. Split (Chris Shaw, 1989 this should be quite the interesting crap shoot. |

Incidentally, the one thing I remember about Road to Perdition was that I didn't like it. :laugh: |
10 minutes into Split...well good news @pahaK Child Bride might no longer be my goto for terrible Hall of Fame choices.

A Miss Vicky nom I don't absolutely love. Hmm." |
