Re: Pre-1930s Hall of Fame II
a couple of blind noms since this is the best way to see films I haven't yet and both inspired by the last HoF

Re: Pre-1930s Hall of Fame II
Good to see a second one taking place - again I shall sit on the sidelines but like the previous one I will endeavour to follow along and watch the various nominees if I can.

Re: Pre-1930s Hall of Fame II
We're still taking movie nominations for awhile longer, so why not join? It's fun watching silent films! and talkies too:)

Nearly all of them can be found on youtube or dailymotion and there's a third safe site that picks up the remainder. If ya like, what till the reveal and check, and if it's doable, send CR your noms. Easy peasy slap yor kneesies |

Good luck with all of that - hope it goes smoothly and looks great afterwards |

@cricket @edarsenal @ahwell
The noms are up and on the second post. Start watching when you want! @Siddon @rauldc14 and @ anybody else! There's still time to join:p I'll take nominations for 1 week until July 31st. Most of the movies are really short, like only an hour long so easy to watch. The deadline will be around October 1st, as the deadline to get your voting list to Chyp for the Pre1930s MoFo Countdown is October 6th. But if anyone needs more time, it's cool. We're mainly just watching some neat silent films and having some fun doing it:) |
Awesome! Nothing I've seen and 4 others I considered nominating!
|
Re: Pre-1930s Hall of Fame II
Just watched my blind nom Battleship Potemkin and I’ll have review tomorrow... but as of now it will probably be #1 on my Countdown vote.
|
The 4 I considered nominating were Battleship, Joan of Arc, Laugh Clown Laugh, and Lonesome.

Re: Pre-1930s Hall of Fame II
Battleship and Joan are definitely Must Sees so I'm glad they're here and I was hoping He Who Gets Slapped would get nominated when I went with Laugh, Clown, Laugh.
7th Heaven is the original for the remake I saw with James Stewart and Simone Simon and features the two leading actors from Lucky Star. Glad to see a Clare Bow in the group and Variety and Lonesome are unknown so it should be a pretty interesting HoF. Hopefully Siddon and Raul join in with a couple more to round it off nicely. |
Re: Pre-1930s Hall of Fame II
Already seen Passion, Potemkin, Clown & It in the past few months. Heaven and Lonesome are already both around the top of my 'to do' list (actually very nearly put the former on a couple of days ago) and glad to have another couple to add to that far from tiny list thanks to crick (Variety, Slapped).
Nice set of noms. |
Having to watch that scene on the stairs from Battleship Potemkin multiple times for various classes in University really killed all the goodwill I had towards that film haha.
As with the previous pre-30s HoF, I'll be creepily watching the thread from a distance without actually participating. :cool: |

Re: Pre-1930s Hall of Fame II
Battleship Potemkin
Damn, it must have been hard for those Soviet directors during the Stalin era. Of course they had to have these films about "the people as one" and the "Communists unite" and bla bla bla. So it's all the more remarkable how unique and brilliant Battleship Potemkin is. Who the hell cares about the "message" when you have a film as unique, important, and frankly entertaining as this. I listened to a version with a re-created soundtrack that sounded very faithful to the original, and I think that my have helped a lot too. This was my first time watching Battleship Potemkin ever, including the Odessa Steps scene, so there were no "bad memories from film school" moments. It was a shocking and unique experience. I don't give a damn that it's propaganda as long as a film can connect to me like Battleship Potemkin does. |
Siddon and Nostro have joined:up:
