The Nominations-
Withnail & I (Robinson, 1987) I am nominating one of the most beloved classics of all-time. A movie that helped kick off my own interest in seeking out older films and good films in general. It has what is probably the best script of all-time with the best dialogue of all-time. There is never a dull piece of dialogue, and is endlessly quotable.Nominated by Neiba https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...d_i_poster.jpg The Grand Budapest Hotel (Anderson, 2014) Nominated by Edarsenal http://www.impawards.com/2014/poster...pest_hotel.jpg Casablanca (Curtiz, 1942) Nominated by Jiraffejustin http://m.movieposter.com/posters/arc...ain/2/b70-1191 Never Let Me Go (Romanek, 2010) Nominated by Citizen Rules http://www.impawards.com/2010/poster..._let_me_go.jpg Romper Stomper (Wright, 1992) Nominated by Miss Vicky http://static.tvgcdn.net/rovi/showca..._1300x1733.jpg The City of Lost Children (Jeunet and Caro, 1995) Nominated by Clazor http://www.impawards.com/1995/poster...ldren_ver1.jpg Barbara (Petzold, 2012) Nominated by CosmicRunaway https://www.cinematerial.com/media/p...g?v=1456596491 Hiroshima Mon Amour (Resnais, 1959) Nominated by Pussy Galore https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...Amour_1959.jpg The Man From Nowhere (Jeong-Beom, 2010) Nominated by RoyalWitCheese https://i.imgur.com/w6kVQpx.jpg Y Tu Mama Tambien (Cauron, 2001) Nominated by Camo http://www.impawards.com/2002/poster...ien_verdvd.jpg U-Turn (Stone, 1997) Nominated by Topsy http://www.impawards.com/1997/posters/u_turn.jpg Midnight Run (Brest, 1988) Nominated by SilentVamp Joe (Avildsen, 1970) Nominated by Cricket http://www.cvltnation.com/wp-content.../joe-1970.jpeg Deadline-March 10th |
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
I'm in, just gonna take a few days to think about a nomination. Will send it before the deadline.
|
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
I'll leave it to closer to the deadline to decide if i'm in or not. I want to join (and recently always end up joining haha) but i'm going to be pretty busy and i'd like to watch some Sci-Fi and 2016 films. Think i know what i'll nominate if i do.
|
Don't worry about the Sci-Fi or 2016 films. Those are unimportant.
|
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
I think I might join if that's ok. I would like to get back into HoFs.
|
Nope is a yep!
|
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
Nope there's a second Animated Short HOF coming soon; just the same as the Looney Tunes one except you can nominate any as long as they are 10 minutes or under - Disney, Tom and Jerry, Fleischer, etc. Just saying coz i know you liked the last one.
|
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
I'm in. I will decided on my nom shortly. I've only been thinking about my nom choice for a month:p

|
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
I might be in, but first I have to figure out what the hell I'm going to nominate.
|
I don't think I'll join, or another family member will probably die. Seems to be the norm when I decide to commit to something. :data:
I might follow from the sidelines though. Hope y'all have fun and good luck hosting, cricket :up: |
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
"If you join and can't finish for any reason, you will be killed."
I f@ckin LOVE that!!! I'm in, sending my nom now |
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
I'm in.

|
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
I think I have a film in mind, but I'm going to wait a few days before fully committing to it.
|
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
I've really liked all the films you've nominated Nope. I know some other people didn't always like them, but then again not everybody loves all the nominations.....Right now I'm trying to figure out what I will nominate, I want a film I believe in, and that I think most members will appreciate, and that ain't easy to do:p
|
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
I don't think I've ever nominated a film that placed higher than 7th.
|
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
Definitely won't join but I may participate on the sidelines.
|
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
I'm trying to decide between nominating a movie that less people have seen, but fewer people will probably enjoy, or a movie that more people have probably already seen, but more people will probably like it
|
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
that IS the hard choice, isn't it? Down to the wire there were two: one well known, another lesser known and ended up going with the former since I thought it was the better of the two.
|
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
Same position here. Trying to figure out if one of the five I've come up with will be kept in on the basis of few of you having seen it. At the same time, I'm hesitant to pick one of the very famous ones I have, because I know almost all of you have seen it before.
|
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
Nomination sent.
|
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
I may take a break this go around. If I change my mind I'll let u know.

Only 8 members confirmed so far.
Let's go! |
The film I was considering nominating may not be readily available for people to watch. Apparently it was removed from Netflix streaming back in September in the countries it was available in, and may or may not be available through Netflix DVD in the US (a page for it comes up in search results, but since I'm not American it won't let me view it).
The only place I've seen it for streaming is to rent it through Google Play for $5 or on iTunes for twice as much. We don't have access to Amazon Prime Streaming here (though apparently some Amazon Originals are now available), but it is available on there for $5 as well, or free if you are a subscriber to Fandor, whatever that is. I can't seem to think of another film to nominate, though I'll try to come up with something today. If not, I might just watch and comment on other people's nominations if that's fine with everyone. |
Pm the movie to me and I'll see if it's something everyone can get a hold of.
|
Cosmic makes 9 members with the noms to be revealed around this time tomorrow.

Donnie Darko?
Dark City? The Dark Crystal? Zero Dark Thirty? Alone in the Dark? I actually considered one of those movies for my nom:D |
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
Was it Dark City, which you recently revisited?
I've been meaning to watch it again too, for the Sci-Fi Countdown. |

Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
I remember liking Dark City, but I honestly don't remember much about it other than some of the visuals. I've been meaning to rewatch it for a few years now. I'll definitely get around to it before I submit my Sci-Fi list.
My next guess for what you considered nominating would be Zero Dark Thirty. I can't imagine it being something like Alone in the Dark haha. |
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
Ohh, no more guesses:p as I might accidentally divulge my nom:eek: You'll just have wait and see:) When is the reveal of the noms?
Alone in the Dark:nope: |
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
I was only guessing which one you said you considered because I assumed it wasn't related to what you actually nominated. Also because I like guessing games haha.

Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
haha...i would actually nominate donnie darko if i didnt think everyone had seen it a100 times.Thats a great sort of move to discuss.
I watched dark city for the movie tournament that died,but i watched it on youtube and the sound was distorded..which is usually really annoying-but it fit sooo well with the movie,it was really eerie and dark. so when i found a clip with normal sound i was actually pretty disappointed :lol: |
A big warm welcome to new member RoyaleWitCheese who will be joining us. He understands the commitment and has sent his nomination. I think he will do very well.
|

I just watched Donnie Darko last week for the first time since it was out. I loved it, better than I remembered.
|
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
I've only seen Donnie Darko once, and thought it very cool. There's a directors cut and a theatrical cut and many fans say the theatrical cut is better.

Man, no chance i'd hold up under torture. I ended up joining :shrug:

Speaking of things I thought about nominating, I also kind of wanted to nominate something Canadian for once, but Cronenberg was the only Canadian director that came to mind. I think his films would be much better suited for a horror or sci-fi HoF, where his brand of body horror is likely to go over much better than in just a general HoF. Also I can never get the names (and plots) of Cronenberg's films straight for some reason, other than the really odd ones like eXistenZ and Naked Lunch. |

Camo sent his nom.
Just waiting to see if Raul is in or out, and for Topsy's nom. |
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
Anti-Reveal
Here is what I thought about nominating, but I decided not to nominate: http://www.therobotspajamas.com/wp-c...creepy-man.jpg |
What is that?
|
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
That's Carnival of Souls, right? I watched that on Halloween like, a decade ago. Completely forgot about it until now haha.
|
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
What's this crap about movies being "too violent"? I like violence.

Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
I love Carnival of Souls, you should have nominated it.
|
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
There's always next time
|
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
Hopefully the reveal is in the next hour or two so i can watch one tonight.
|
I'll do it if I get Topsy's, and then I can add Raul if he decides to join.
|
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
im just going to have go have a smoke and decide. be back in 5
|
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
sending mine now
|
I'll have them up in 5
|
Nominations up in the second post.
|
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
a great mix! Ive seen the grand budapest hotel & ive been trying to get a hold of y tu mami tambien for ages. El crimen del Padre Amaro/ the crime of father amaro was one of the movies i was thinking about nominating
|
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
I haven't missed a general HOF since the first one. But I am going to skip this one just to catch a bit of a breather. I'll be back for HOF 13!
|
All of the noms look interesting, I've heard of some and been wanting to see them. But I've only seen 2 of the noms, besides my own nom.
The Grand Budapest Hotel Casablanca |
A nice variety of films!
Other than my nom, I've only seen Casablanca, City of Lost Children (which I've been meaning to watch again for awhile), and Y Tu Mama Tambien. I tried to watch Grand Budapest Hotel but turned it off because I didn't like it at all, but I'll definitely give it a fair second chance. For those who have never heard of my nomination before (which I assume is all of you), Barbara is a film that takes place in a rural East German town in the early 80s. The titular character had applied for an Exit Visa to West Germany, and as a result is being punished and monitored by the Stasi. It's a drama, and is rather slow moving, so you might want to be prepared for that going in. |

(too violent) Irreversible (too off beat) U turn (lost in translation) ****ing Åmål (too obscure) el crimen del padre amaro but now im thinking of more movies that i forgot about of course |
Withnail and I - Glad this was nominated, heard alot about it and it is one of the few left on my MoFo 100 list.
The Grand Budapest Hotel - Not one of my fave Wes films but really good anyway. I'm not gonna rewatch this as i only watched it a few months back. Casablanca - Don't like it quite as much as everyone else but it is pretty great. Don't have to see this again as i remember it well but i still might not sure yet. Never Let Me Go - Never heard of this, looking forward to it. Romper Stomper - I'll rewatch this as i haven't seen it in years. Didn't like it much at the time hopefully that has changed. Sanshiro Sugata - Awesome, a 40's Kurosawa that i haven't seen :cool: The City of Lost Children - Don't think i've heard of this. Looking forward to it. Barbara - Again not heard of this, looking forward to it. Hiroshima Mon Amour - Awesome, been meaning to see more Resnais. The Man From Nowhere - Gonna leave this to last, me and Royale have struck up an early bond but he's still pretty new so i'd rather not watch something that may get excluded, no offence. Looks good though. Y Tu Mama Tambien - My nom. No doubt some of you will hate it but i don't really care i love it. U-Turn - never seen it looking forward to it. Joe - Great film. Not sure if i'm gonna rewatch it or not. Really interesting choices :up:. Think i'll watch Withnail tonight. |
This is a duplicate of a post I made a couple days ago in the rate the last movie thread-
I had seen this 3 or 4 times over the years, and while I thought it was a very good movie, I never thought it was anything more than that. I watched it again for the eventual 40's countdown, and I'm glad I did because it all clicked for me this time. In a nutshell, I now look at this movie as a masterpiece. Bogart and Bergman are simply amazing, and the supporting actors all own the roles that they're playing. It's got the story, the music, subtle and sudden laugh out loud humor, and it's all done with so much class. It's got beautiful direction and atmosphere to spare. The nightclub setting is so intimate, and I find that amazing because the inside shell of the building appears cold, but it's warmed up with perfect lighting and decor. Every detail from the clothes to the candles to the chandeliers are top notch. There are many great movies, and each one would be fortunate to have a historically great moment or line. In this movie, it feels like they come at you non-stop, one right after another. I have no clue why it took so long for me to finally appreciate this movie properly. |

Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
Sanshiro Sugata was Kurosawa's first film? Interesting, probably looking forward to that most.
|
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
This looks like a good class of nominations. I am most looking forward to Joe, because I don't think I've ever heard of it... and it's a cricket nom, so it's bound to be interesting at least.
|
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
Withnail and I - My nom. Best movie I saw last year, a masterpiece!
The Grand Budapest Hotel - Wes is kind of a hit and miss for me, and while I find some qualities in this movie, it's not one of my favs by Wes. Not gonna rewatch this because it's fresh on my mind. Casablanca - The absolute favourite to win this. I'll probably rewatch it not because I don't remember but because it's freaking Casablanca!!! Never Let Me Go - Never heard of this, looking forward to it. Romper Stomper - Never heard of this, looking forward to it. Sanshiro Sugata - It's Kurosawa, and that's enough for me to be looking forward to watch it. The City of Lost Children - Never heard of this, looking forward to it. Barbara - Never heard of this, looking forward to it. Hiroshima Mon Amour - This film is part of my Top 100. It's not an easy watch and I don't think it'll do good on a HoF but it's a beautiful beautiful film! The Man From Nowhere - Never heard of this, looking forward to it. Y Tu Mama Tambien - It's one of my gf's favourite films and it's on my watchlist for a long time now, so it'll be one of the first ones I see! U-Turn - Never heard of this, looking forward to it. Joe - Never heard of this, looking forward to it. Great set of movies!!! |
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
Joe is great. It's my favourite of the ones i've seen other than my own nom i think.

I remember it being like one of those road trip films, but with undeniably Mexican landscapes and characters. I mostly remember the buzz about it being too explicit, and that's part of what made me interested in watching it. I feel like more of it will come back to me as I watch it (which is usually the case), and I'm definitely looking forward to watching it again. :up: |
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
im good with starting with Y tu.. aswell Neiba if we want to try and watch some in somewhat the same order-- for discussions sake.
I pretty sure im going to need help finding it though,like i said ive been trying to get a hold of it |

perv :lol: |
Withnail & I: Was already on my watchlist because I've heard nothing but great things.
The Grand Budapest Hotel: This is the movie that finally turned me on to Wes Anderson. A lot of quirky characters and beautiful to look at. Casablanca: The early favorite, but it only takes a couple low scores to knock it out. Never Let Me Go: Saw this several months ago and liked it a lot. Going to watch it again. Romper Stomper: Had this on my top 200 I did shortly after joining this site. It's been at least 10 years since seeing it last, but I'm sure it'll still be a favorite. Sanshiro Sugata: Was already on my 40's watchlist. The City of Lost Children: Saw this not long ago and it's not my type of movie. It looks amazing and anyone into fantasy should love it. Barbara: Never heard of this one before. Hiroshima Mon Amour: I believe this made the 50's list. I think it's a movie that's hard to fully grasp with 1 viewing. Unique with beauty and power. The Man From Nowhere: Already In my watchlist and the movie I'm most looking forward to. Y Tu Mama Tambien: I watched this a long time ago. I know it was good, but I need another viewing. U-Turn: Saw this when it came out and was disappointed. It should be my kind of movie; looking forward to trying it again. Joe: My nom, and I found it thanks to Mark. Wikipedia says that Archie Bunker was inspired by the lead character. It's a movie that I believe is relevant today. |
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
Hope you guys like it. I'm probably wrong but i think there's a decent chance you will Topsy.
|
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
i cant really make out what the first poster is...is it a horror?
|
Re: The 12th Hall of Fame
It's not that explicit in my opinion. Don't know if i've been horribly desensitized or something haha but i didn't think it was. There is one scene towards the end that people may be referring to but i don't think it's that bad personally.
|
