Best Picture Hall of Fame

Re: Best Picture Hall of Fame

I like this idea! I'll send my nom shortly:p

I am going to make every film eligible that has ever WON the best picture.

Does that include films that have previously already won an Hof?

6th Hof - All Quiet On The Western Front
9th Hof - The Best Years Of Our Lives
13th Hof - Dances With Wolves
Silent Era Hof - Wings
Live Musical Hof - West Side Story
Musical Artist Hof - Amadeus

I just linked your Hof to the 1st post in the HoF Archives thread. This should be fun!

Re: Best Picture Hall of Fame

I'm ok with leaving them out, just for the sake of getting another winner.

That's what I would choose, but it's up to everyone else to decide.

Re: Best Picture Hall of Fame

Whats your take on Sunrise? Some people include it as a BP some just go strictly with Wings.

Re: Best Picture Hall of Fame

It's a winner in my book.

Re: Best Picture Hall of Fame

I definitely say leave winners out

There aren't too many of them anyways, so we will do this.

Pretty funny that Wings beat Sunrise in the Silent HoF. It's like you guys retroactively decided which should have been the one Best Picture winner that year.

Sunrise is so much better though. I think that's the HOF I was most disappointed in with it's result.

Re: Best Picture Hall of Fame

Sunrise should be allowed in this HOF, even if the Academy doesn't acknowledge their own history.

Best of luck though. I'll be following as i should have seen a fair amount of the nominees and will be interested in everyones thoughts.

Same here, although I will watch anything I haven't seen.

Re: Best Picture Hall of Fame

I'm in!!
Give me a bit to shoot over a nom
And THANKS @Citizen Rules for posting other HoF winners so that we can avoid them!

Re: Best Picture Hall of Fame

Ed gives us 5.

Hopefully @Thursday Next and @SilentVamp can join too.

Hopefully @gbgoodies decides to come out of retirement for this Hof:p

Just had a look over the Oscars list - I've seen 41/90 Best Picture winners. Of those, I disliked or outright hated 18. :laugh:

This should be interesting.

I'm considering joining this HoF, but (with a few exceptions), most of the Best Picture winners that I haven't seen yet are movies that I don't have much interest in seeing. Plus most of the movies that I would want to nominate have either already been nominated in a HoF, (for example Kramer vs. Kramer and The Sting in the current HoFs), or they're musicals that most people here have no interest in seeing.

@rauldc14
How long do I have to decide if I want to join?

Probably at least until Sunday GBG. I hope you join as I would like to hear your input.

Such a difficult task of deciding what I want to nominate. The other 4 have sent theirs in.

Thanks. I'll let you know by Sunday.

I have a small list of possible noms, but several of them are musicals, and I know that some people here hate musicals, so I'll probably choose a different movie.

There is one movie that I haven't seen yet that I'm considering nominating as a "blind nomination", but I've never nominated a movie that I haven't seen before, so I might pass on that movie as well.

One of the Best Picture winners that I don't hate is a musical. I actually like it and even have it in my collection. Don't know if that's one you were considering though.
