I would like to put up the disclaimer DO NOT LOOK UP ANYTHING ABOUT THIS FILM. With it knowing absolutely nothing about it. All I will say about it is that it was the most emotional film experience of my entire life.

The Imposter
http://www.listener.co.nz/wp-content...ter.jpg?0d1836
Since my original choice was already picked, I had to go through a few backups and came across this film, The Imposter. Mixing old documentary footage with re-enacted scenes, The Imposter is a twisted tale of lies and deceit. One that will have you scratching your head and wondering how the hell did any of this happen?

Exception granted. And we have a winner. See you next time folks. ;)

Re: Documentary HOF

I should join this. I'll think about it.

I'm not going to join but I'll try to watch all the movies and participate so I can send a list for the countdown.

Re: Documentary HOF

I think I will join this. Will send nom in just a sec; though it will be a while till I start watching the films. I checked several 8th HoF films out from the library already.

Re: Documentary HOF

Only six of us so far. Would love to have at least ten.

Re: Documentary HOF

I'm in. I've already committed to the 8th general hof, but I'll be watching as many documentaries as possible for the countdown anyway, so I might as well watch the ones nominated here.

Re: Documentary HOF

I'll join since I've missed a few.

Re: Documentary HOF

We have eight. Can I get two more. Some good stuff nominated if you planning on doing a list for the countdown.

Re: Documentary HOF

I'll lend a helping hand, I'm in:)

Re: Documentary HOF

So Sane makes 10, is that what we're going for? Sorry for the impatience i just really want to get this started.

Two questions for you.

1.

So, you are saying that something from TV could be considered for this?

Not that I would necessarily do that this time around (as I know people are interested in participating in the documentary countdown and would prefer feature film documentaries), but if there should ever be another one of these, I have an idea of what I would choose the second time around. :)

2.

New members are more than welcome

I would, for sure, be able to join after the 16th then?

I can't really say that I could commit to this right now because I have to see what the nominations are. Once I know that, I would know whether or not I would be able to obtain all of the documentaries that are nominated (money really is too tight right now to spend anything extra on any of it, unfortunately). But if all of the films would be doable, then I would probably join if I am allowed to. :)

I'll join if you guys want me to, but I've only seen a small number of docs, and I'd like to maximize what I see before the countdown deadline comes. Because of this, I have 2 questions-

1. Could I nominate a documentary I haven't seen yet?

2. If I've already seen one of the nominations, do I have to watch it again? All the docs I have seen, I remember well.

Just like the other hall of fames i think it's up to you if you rewatch. If Swans nom is what i think it is i more than likely wont rewatch as i watched it a few weeks ago.
