16th Hall of Fame
 

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

Nomination sent.

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

sending nomination now.

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

I'm probably going to join, but I gotta figure out a nomination.

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

Glad you started this Raul....I'm going with a 1930s movies, but I have to decide which one.

that sorta made it easy to guess which is yours when the initial reveal occurs lol

Oh well:p it might be a ruse?

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

In! :) Sending my nom now!

a ruse, eh?

WELL played ;)

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

I have 4 nominations currently.

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

I have a feeling we'll be hitting at least 12 in this one.

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

How long time is there usually to watch the films in these? I'm kind of interested but I'm possibly moving in near future so don't want to get involved if the schedule is too tight.

Anyways my pick will not win, it will likely come in last place but all of you will remember it and won't be bored by it.

The general rule is around a week for each movie nominated with a bit of flexibility on the final due date depending on how folks are doing on getting them done.

That's kind of a win all in it's own, isn't it? ;)

Wow, that caught my attention, can't wait to find out.

That doesn't sound too bad even if I end up moving. I'll send my nomination shortly.

EDIT: Nomination sent.

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

Did my nomination arrive safely, @rauldc14 or did I fail? My sent messages folder seems to be empty but I surely tried to send one :)

I got it!

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

We have 7 nominations so far. It will be 8 once I finally decide what the hell I'm nominating.

8 noms, I just PMed you my nom. I went with something newer this time:p

well -- so much for the EASY guess lol

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

We have 9 with mine. Still some spots open folks!

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

I actually can't think of a film. I thought I had an idea, but it was nominated in a previous HoF. I might have to just creep on this thread without officially joining haha.

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

If anybody can't figure out which nom is mine once they're announced, I'll be very surprised.

U can do it! I have faith you can come up with a nom! We would love to have you :)

I'll donate you a nom:p

I hope you can join Cosmic, you're always fun to have around and you have interesting noms too. So think harder!:)

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

What have I got to lose? I'm in. Just need to think of my nom.

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

GLAD to have ya, Hash!!

and like the others said, Cosmic, come on and JOIN!! The nom will come!

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

When were you planning to reveal the nominations? Maybe having a specific due date will help me decide haha.

I'm still thinking of joining

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

Nom sent. I had a bunch of disturbing and edgy films I wanted to choose, but I decided to nominate a shockingly underrated film that deserves more publicity.

Do it.

If you insist

Ok I went with one of my biggest favorites. I never nominated it before because frankly it's just not a very well reviewed or respected movie. At the very least, I'd say it's an easy watch. I would guess nobody in the HoF has seen it, except maybe Siddon because he's seen everything. Since I've been a member, I've never once seen it mentioned on the forum by anyone besides me.

Beerfest?

Not quite that disrespected haha

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

not quite?
Well, then it must be Super Troopers

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

Ahhh, when does this start??? I'm so anxious :p

I'm thinking Monday night.

wonderland?

Not that obscure

I think it's time for the reveal

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

It will be tomorrow. We have 11 films now.

I changed my nomination. If everyone's lists are up to date, nobody in this HoF has seen it.

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

Estimating 5:30 central time for reveal.

So are you able to tell us what your first one was?

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

I haven't seen either, but I'm glad it was changed.

Velvet was correct with his guesss.

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

Hmm... I've seen two (+ my own, obviously) of these before. I guess that's pretty much what I expected based on the older HoFs I checked.

Seen 4 including my own and all 4 are excellent. This will be an easy HoF to get through.

Besides my own nomination, I've only seen Call Me By Your Name. I watched it pretty recently and was fairly apathetic to it. I will watch it again but will probably save it for last.

My nomination is currently available to stream on Amazon Prime.

Review: May 15, 2018

I've seen six, only one I didn't care for. Don't quite understand nominating foreign films while the other foreign film Hall of Fame is going. Looking at this field I think I should have gone with my second choice The Innocents, Seance on a Wet Afternoon, or The Collector would have gone very well with Wait Until Dark.

I'll probably watch Frances Ha first since it's on Netflix streaming and my wife may be interested.

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

I've seen five of the nominations, and few of them I've been planning on revisiting anyway, so this should be great.

https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/RW90...byncover.0.jpg

Call Me By Your Name It was fine. I found it to be a little pornographic....not sexually but more wish fulfillment type. In a number of ways it's the inverse of Moonlight. Beautiful people living in a beautiful place with beautiful minds it was a little much. The film subverts your expectations slightly by not have any disapproving characters of the romance. Having a progressive family in a period piece is something different which I liked.

Timothee Chalamet is very good in this unlike Moonlight which was a true ensemble I think Chalamet really was the singular noteworthy performance. Both the age discrepancy between Hammer and Chalamet was a little uncomfortable for me. Also if your going to cast a jewish love story you shouldn't pick someone who is antithetically Jewish.

The snow shot at the end is probably the most gorgeous shot I saw that year. I also loved the sound track and I didn't have problems with the pacing that others had. I liked the first hour, I liked Stuhlbarg's monologue though I didn't think it was Oscar worthy or even his best work from that year.

Strange to pick a film everyone likely saw in December/January

That's the only movie I probably won't watch again since I just watched it two months ago. I really liked all of the performances but what really made the movie for me was the beautiful setting. I think I liked it as much as I could without being emotionally invested, and I will say the age difference was also a bit uncomfortable for me.

I found this movie on YouTube-

https://youtu.be/hWcc4PptU44

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

I've seen Call Me by Your Name as well, but I still am definitely going to revisit it, I liked it too much not to so I'm glad it was nominated.

:confusedwhite:

The Innocents has been on my watchlist for a long time.

I almost went animated BTW. But made a last minute decision not to.

Those look like a decent bunch of nominations. I've only seen 3 out of the 11 and will (as usual) be watching all 11.

For a second I thought someone had nominated The Innocents, which would have been the movie to beat. Too bad it wasn't nominated.

So are we suppose to guess who nominated what?

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

Guess away!

SWEET, THANKS cricket!!

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

I guess I never stated who is all in:

Citizen Rules
Pahak
Miss Vicky
Edarsenal
Cricket
Rauldc
Siddon
MovieMad
Hashtagbrownies
Okay
Neiba

so which animated were you considering?

I had considered Rango at point, myself.

Fantastic Mr. Fox

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

Great bunch of films!! See 4 out of 11 of these.

Waterloo Bridge- 1931 Wow, been wanting to see the original after watching the one in the 40s HoF.

Wait Until Dark- 1967 Great film, seen it a number of times through my life. Will happily watch it again.

Mr. Freedom- 1969 NO IDEA what this could be, but I am intrigued.

They Shoot Horses Don't They- 1969 One I've always been interested in seeing and NOW I have the opportunity. And with cricket's link for youtube, I do believe I'll be seeing this one as the starter.

Poison for the Fairies- 1984 Another I haven't heard, but happy to try out

Naked- 1993 Took FOREVER to finally see this some time ago and get to do a rewatch.

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer- 2006 Visually incredible movie. Can't wait to see this again

3:10 to Yuma- 2007 LOVE this version!

Three Monkeys- 2008 Another unknown to be explored

Frances Ha- 2012 Heard of this one, never got around to seeing it, so. . .

Call Me By Your Name- 2017 Unknown to me but we will see

struggled with that one when I saw it. Need to rewatch that one

Here's my crappy attempt at guessing who nominated what. I won't guess for myself, I mean wouldn't that be cheating?:p

Citizen Rules....???

Pahak...Poison for the Fairies ( I know nothing about Pahak's movie taste, so he gets this movie as my guess)

Miss Vicky....3:10 to Yuma ( It has to be MVs!...a good film too, looking forward to a rewatch)

Edarsenal...They Shoot Horses Don't They (It seems like an Ed nom, I've wanted to see this for a long time too)

Cricket....Mr. Freedom (it looks like an obscure & crazy Cricket film)

Rauldc...Call Me By Your Name (Raul watches a lot of new movies, he must have seen this one and liked it)

Siddon...Naked ( I have no idea, actually just a wild guess)

MovieMad...Waterloo Bridge (another wild guess, I seen the remake with Vivian Leigh and that was good)

Hashtagbrownies...Wait Until Dark (he said he would nominate something fun, and this is a fun film)

Okay...Perfume: The Story of a Murderer ( he said I would hate his next nom, haven't seen this one, but it's got a catchy title)

Neiba....Frances Ha (seems like a cool nomination, just might be Neiba's)

http://images.amcnetworks.com/ifcfil...ART-17B-NH.jpg

Frances Ha is the spiritual sequel to Noah Baumbach's Kicking and Screaming. Greta Gerwig plays a woman nearing 30 with nothing established, she managed to lose her boyfriend and home in the matter of a short period of time.

The film is really about all of these little journey's Francis goes on, she returns home for Christmas, goes to Paris on a whim with a credit card. She eventually ends up working at her former school helping incoming freshmen.

I liked it, it was a good film Baumbach makes it feel like a first film but gives it a number of little touches that most small films don't have. The movie has a great sound track and a fairly large cast. A couple things I really enjoyed about the film is how her male friends keep bringing home girls that are much younger than Frances. Also while Frances has fairly boring life her friend Sophie's background story is much more compelling.

Don't quite understand why does that make any difference. Considering the movies made worldwide, we should have a even more balanced percentage of foreign films in all the HoFs. Americans tend to forget that their films are foreign to non-Americans.

Loved the compliment, but wrong! Ahaha! :D

Gotta say, as much as I love animation, these particular films are exceptions and I'm glad neither was nominated.

I actually loved both of those^^

Absolutely NO IDEA why anybody would suspect that this is my nomination. :shifty:

I have no idea what raul did nominate, but I'm 100% sure it wasn't this.

Citizen Rules - Waterloo Bridge
Miss Vicky - Perfume Story of Murder
Edarsenal - Naked
Cricket - They Shoot Horses Don't They
Rauldc - Frances Ha
Hashtagbrownies - Wait Until Dark
Okay - Three Monkeys
Neiba - Poison for the Fairies


Well your not doing the Foreign Language Hall of Fame, I don't have an issue with foreign language films I nominated one in the last Hall of Fame (Aguire:Wrath of God)

I don't get it, why does that matter? Were we expected to nominate anything but a foreign film?

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

I don't get it either. :confused:

After having done many General HOFs I would be shocked if there wasn't at least one foreign nomination. Actually I think the only HOF I've done that was 100% English language was the Best Picture HOF, which speaks more about the Oscar academy than it does about the participants.

I would have guessed either Yuma, or, more likely, Naked for you, MV


and for @Siddon and @Citizen Rules, neither of those films were mine. :)

Really? I mean, the title and the first few words of IMDb's description "Parallel tales of two sexually obsessed men..." certainly pique my interest, but I've never seen Naked.

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

OH yeah I never quite got that head in the sand approach to life. It used to be the Brits who thought their teen tiny country was the centre of the universe.

I would guess Naked for Raul and They Shoot Horses for Miss Vicky.

The center of the Hall of Fame is to binge these films and when you watch 15 foreign films 1/3rd of which are over 2.5 hours you don't really want to even look at another reading exercise.

And that is quite the ironic comment based on the fact you aren't contributing to either Hall of Fame and you don't know what I nominated.

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

It came up on my feed so I read. Neiba's post and replied to it. I did not even see who neiba was replying to or what the thread was until after I posted. Further to that, I had absolutely zip knowledge the rules were that outsiders could not post. Is this a secret society? That's awesome. Can I jump in? How do I gain membership? Maybe you can advocate for me. 😎

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

Maybe my nomination wasn't as obvious as I thought? It's from a decade that I tend to favor and stars an actor that I favor. It's also a genre I've nominated before.

Then again, it also stars an actor that I hate. :laugh:

Letters from Iwo Jima obv.

I was wondering when you'd pop in here and make that comment.

Always thought you've seen that for some odd reason.

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

Naked used to be in my top ten. Neiba most likely nominated it.

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

Waterloo Bridge: Looks good.
Mr. Freedom: This looks amazing!
They Shoot Horses Don't They: Sounds like a high-concept film, I love those.
Poison for the Fairies: This looks great.
Naked: Another beloved film I have yet to watch.
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer: Hmmm, the only way to judge it is to watch it.
3:10 to Yuma: I'm not exactly a western guy, but this looks fun.
Three Monkeys: Have no idea what to expect.
Frances Ha: Looks good.

Call Me By Your Name:One of my favourites.
Wait Until Dark: One of the most intense thrillers I've ever seen.

Will post a review of these soon.

My guesses:

Waterloo Bridge - Citizen
Wait Until Dark - Hashtag
Mr Freedom - Siddon
They Shoot Horses Don't They - Cricket
Poison For The Faires - Pahak
Naked - Neiba
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer - Edarsenal
3:10 To Yuma - Miss Vicky
Three Monkeys - Okay
Frances Ha - Raul
Call Me By Your Name - MovieMad

I've seen three. Naked is one of my favourite films. Watched Frances Ha for the first time this year and loved it, not sure how it will hold up though and i totally get anyone hating it as it's easy to hate Frances. Liked Call Me By Your Name a lot but it's probably not a film i'd watch again anytime soon at least.

Classic misdirection, saw Citizen pull off this trick earlier too. Y'all don't fool me :coleman:

http://p4.storage.canalblog.com/44/7...9/26984324.jpg

Mr. Freedom is a vicious satire of Americana, Vietnam War, and now Super Hero movies. It was made by a pair of ex-patriots, William Klein (director) and John Abbey (star). Klein fills the screen with incredible low budget imagery, you have to marvel at the sheer amount of work Klein put into several scenes. If you can imagine Wes Anderson in the 1960's you can understand what Klein was going for.

The story is far from perfect, it loses steam at the end. Klein clearly loves building this comic book world and ripping apart America. Then again it's important to recognize this film was shot in 1968 and released in 1969. So this was made as a response to when the war turned against the US after the Tet offensive and My Lai massacre.

But while the Vietnam war metaphor stuff has aged a bit the commentary on commercialism, racism, sex, american idea of exceptionalism and politics has become even more profound. This movie is about 20-30% Easter Eggs that begs you to revisit and pause to get all the little jokes Klein slips in here and there.

Yeahhhh. cricket gave it away by posting the youtube link :laugh:

excellent guess, camo! That IS my nom!

BINGO!!!

You and @Camo are correct. I suppose it helps that I've mentioned the film couple of times already and it's in my top films on the site :D I don't yet know people enough to make my own guesses.

Two other films I've already seen at some point are 3.10 to Yuma (don't remember much but I think it was OK) and Perfume (this was pretty good, I Think). Will probably watch one of the movies tonight.

I didn't even realize it was in your top ten, i just wrote down the ones i knew for sure then guessed the rest.

May as well spoil it since several of you have revealed your noms, Raul said all of mine are correct :cool:

Re: 16th Hall of Fame
 

Like Camo said, he got them all! Nice work Camo!
