The Personal Recommendation Hall of Fame
1 Attachment(s)
How well do you know your fellow MoFos and what they like? This will be a different kind of specialty Hall of Fame, not one in which a movie will win, but rather a member. Instead of the normal practice of nominating one movie for everyone to watch, you will nominate a different movie for every member. You will choose what your fellow members will be watching by picking one that they haven't crossed off from any of their MoFo lists. So make sure that you're lists are up to date! Maybe you'll pick a movie you think someone will love, or maybe you'll pick a favorite of your own that you want someone else to watch. The choice is yours! There are some positives unique to this Hall of Fame. The biggest is probably that you'll be watching every nomination for the first time, no more rewatching a movie you recently saw or didn't like before. Also, with being on a MoFo list, you will be watching movies that have some acclaim either here or somewhere else. This could be a nice head start on preparation for the next countdown. And it's always nice to cross a few movies off our lists. If someone can't get their hands on a movie they're supposed to watch, whoever nominated it can simply choose another one. There's no concern over other members having already watched it. There's 2 parts to start this. First you have to join. You have until Sunday night the 15th to do just that. Once Monday the 16th comes, we will know who the members are, and then everyone can send their personal recommendation nominations to me. Once I have them from everyone, I will post them and come up with a due date. If you pick a movie for someone that has already been picked for them, you will simply be asked to pick another. You can pick the same movie for multiple members as long as they all haven't crossed it off their lists. Voting will be just like any other Hall of Fame. I'm going to put a runtime limit at 2 hours and 40 minutes. For this Hall of Fame, I will waive that limit for people nominating for me. Everyone else has that option as well. Previous winners can be nominated in this Hall of Fame. Hopefully everyone finishes, but if you watch a movie chosen by someone who drops out, it'll at least probably be a movie that was worth watching. This should be fun so let's do it. Members Cricket-Nominations received Citizen Rules-Nominations received John-Connor-Nominations received Edarsenal-Nominations received Hey Fredrick-Nominations received Ahwell-Nominations received Miss Vicky-Nominations received Siddon-Nominations received Frightened Inmate No. 2-Nominations received Captain Spaulding-Nominations received Wyldesyde19-Nominations received TheUsualSuspect-Nominations received HashtagBrownies-Nominations received CaptainT-Watching before nominating Neiba-Nominations received Due Date-July 5th! |
Great concept. I'm joining, and I also waive the run-time limit for people nominating for me.

Re: The Personal Recommendation Hall of Fame
I'm in, this should be good fun! I also waive the run-time limit for people nominating for me.
If anyone needs help finding a movie link just ask in the thread and I'll try to help. I'll go and double check my MoFo list and make sure there up to date. |
Re: The Personal Recommendation Hall of Fame
I'm going to check my lists as well. They should be updated, but, yeah, I'm in
|
The picture I used for the lists is from Mark's profile. It looks like our friend there is ineligible since he's only missing like 3 movies.

Got a perfect one for CR already, one I'm almost sure about for Cricket, and checking Ed's list now.

I've been scouting everyone's list for a while. I'm marking down a couple of possibilities for each in case one is chosen. I'm going to pick my noms after everyone sends theirs, so if I say pick again it won't be because I picked it.
|
Re: The Personal Recommendation Hall of Fame
Okay, I'm done checking my list, so it's all set for everyone.
Gonna start looking at others now (except for CR, going to wait on that one lol) |

Re: The Personal Recommendation Hall of Fame
I'm probably going to skip this one. Quickly skimmed through some of my lists and the majority of the unseens don't really interest me. There's also a bunch of older films that I may have seen as a kid but don't remember for sure. If only there'd be a feasibly way to do this without the constraints of those lists :shrug:

I'll tell you what they were once you're definitely not in |

I'll tell you what they were once you're definitely not in EDIT: And I'm definitely not in. It's a cool concept but I don't feel like investigating other people's lists when I barely manage to tick my own. And like I said, I don't like how it's restricted to films on those lists but unfortunately, there's probably no feasible way to do this otherwise. A quick guess for those 3 picks: Angst, Raw and Thirteen? |
I really like this idea, but I often have trouble picking out a single film, let alone one for every participant haha.

I've also intentionally not crossed off films I know I previously watched if I don't really remember enough about them, since if someone asked me my opinion on one of them, I probably wouldn't be able to give a response without seeing it again. |
I usually watch trailers to check if I have already seen a film or not, they seem to jog the memory more than pics or plot summary.
Movies I've watched when I was 'too young', between age 8 and 15, I left open on my lists deliberately. |

As for me, I don't mind watching something I don't like for this because I want to watch everything from the lists anyway.

Re: The Personal Recommendation Hall of Fame
I'm in but I have a question. Are we going to know who nominated what right off the bat or would we find out after we watch all the movies? For example, if I nominate a movie for Citizen will he know it's my nomination before he watches it or would we reveal all that at the end?
|

And I’m totally in! Looking forward to this. |

I also will waive the time limit with one exception - Shoah. Nine hours is a bit much for a HoF. |

Re: The Personal Recommendation Hall of Fame
Oh, I’ll also waive the length requirement, I’m good with (basically) any length!
|
Re: The Personal Recommendation Hall of Fame
I’ll join, but I’m not waiving the runtime restriction.
I’ll double check my lists later today. |

Re: The Personal Recommendation Hall of Fame
Okay. I've gone through my lists and they should be accurate now.
ETA: Assuming everyone else's lists are up to date, I've got recs picked out for everybody. |
Re: The Personal Recommendation Hall of Fame
My lists are completely accurate. How do you access people’s lists on mobile?

I waived the run time...BUT, I don't want to watch a 9 hour film like Shoah. So I will go up to 4 hours run time like in past HoFs.
I'm OK if the noms are kept private, either way is OK with me. |
Re: The Personal Recommendation Hall of Fame
I think I’ll sit this out but watch how this works out for now, as I have 3 HOF I am in currently so my time is taken up by those at the moment.
I’m really curious how this will work out though, because if this is successful enough to add to the rotation I would definitely be interested in the future. I’m pretty sure I’d nominate mostly foreign films for everyone. Almost exclusively even 🙂 |
okay I'll give this a shot

Also I think these should be blind noms, it could be fun to see who recommended what at the reveal.

Looks like I'm gonna have to watch a few more movies just to find something for Siddon to watch.

Re: The Personal Recommendation Hall of Fame
I figured as much but I would hate doing a blind nomination for this one. I thought I had knocked off a good number of flicks from the lists so when I saw Siddons lists it was more of a "Holy Cow!" than anything else. Impressive.
|
Got 7 possible recs for MissVicky, still have to do some investigating to narrow it down.
4 options for Siddon and Fred, and a 100+ recs for ahwell :D |
Re: The Personal Recommendation Hall of Fame
I'm finding this fun but also it's very challenging trying to make an educated guess as to what people will hopefully like.
I think I would be the easiest person to find a movie nom for? |

Other things that I tend to dislike (though there are exceptions to just about all of these): -musicals -sci-fi/fantasy -live-action comedies -documentaries -arthouse -primarily female casts -obnoxious children -overly-theatrical/wooden acting -anything overtly religious -films by Paul Thomas Anderson, Wes Anderson, or Stanley Kubrick Things I tend to like: -violence -sex -unhappy endings (If it makes me cry, I'll probably love it.) :D |
Re: The Personal Recommendation Hall of Fame
If I was in this I would nominate musicals just for you Miss Vicky. I’m thinking Popeye. Just because when I read your review, I can imagine you seething with rage at having to have watched it in the first place. 😆
|
If it helps, my top 50 or so not in any order:
|
Strangely enough I have 14 titles that I think Miss Vicky will like.

There’s my Letterboxd profile, so if anyone wants to choose a movie that’s not on a list just look here, it has everything I’ve seen! Unless of course we’re making the rule that it has to be on a MoFo list. |

Re: The Personal Recommendation Hall of Fame
It would be cool if we could at least get two more people to join, for an even 10. @gbgoodies @anybodyelse

Re: The Personal Recommendation Hall of Fame
Are we waiting till the 15th no matter what? I’m just so excited to get this thing going!!

CR sent me his noms and picked one of my top choices for Fredrick.

Honestly I'll be surprised if anyone can predict a movie Miss Vicky will like. This will be interesting.

To be fair, though, the only one of my recommendations that I'm confident about is the one for edarsenal and that's only because he so rarely dislikes movies that I like. |

Re: The Personal Recommendation Hall of Fame
Sent mine in!
|
yeah i’ll waive the time limit rule and my lists are up to date. my criticker profile in my signature also includes every movie i’ve ever seen and my score for it if that’s more helpful
|
So far 2 movies have been picked twice-by 2 different people-for 2 different people.

Thanks for the invite, but while I think this HoF is a great idea, I don't think it's a good idea for me to join. The main reason is because of the rule (quoted above) that the nominations must be picked from the MoFo lists. There are just too many movies on those lists that I have no interest in watching. (Most of the movies on the MoFo lists that I want to see, I've already seen.) Plus, I'm terrible at picking movie recommendations for other people. :( . |
Unfortunately there's no other way to really do this besides picking from the lists. If I have to ask you if you've seen something, that would sort of give it away. And even though you think there's not many on the lists you would like, there's still a much better chance of you watching movies that you like than a regular HoF, and no chance that you'll watch something you've already seen and didn't like.

I've gotten ones for cricket and john-conner so far. My choice for John was after perusing his favorite 250 List. And cricket's I'm kinda doubtful, since he's nearly cleared out most of his and I have NO IDEA if he'll like it or not. Depending on which of the two choices i go with. I was waiting on CR to clear his and then I see that we have quite a number of others joining in, which is pretty cool. |

I understand the reason for using the lists to pick the nominations. Unfortunately I just don't think it will work for me. |
Re: The Personal Recommendation Hall of Fame
So I may understand this better, is it all 10 (assuming there are 10 other people who join) participants select a film for me to watch? And then I select a film for the other 10 participants?
|
It bugs me that I still haven't reached 100% completion on any of the forum lists, despite having seen thousands of movies in my lifetime. I keep meaning to seek out more titles from the lists instead of watching whatever random crap I come across. This HOF seems like the perfect impetus to do just that. Count me in.
As for length, I can probably handle anything under 10 inches. Oh, wait . . . you mean run-times? 210-minutes is probably my max. People can nominate whatever the hell they want, though, regardless of whether they think I'll like it or not. My taste is usually all over the place. I'll try to resist the urge to force everyone to watch The Devil's Rejects, but I make no promises. :p |
I'll be spending Friday, Saturday, and possibly Sunday in Monterey with friends, so I may not be around for the reveal. I'm really curious to see what films people will think I'll like though. I hope at least a few of you are right. :laugh:

So you'll need to go through the lists section of each person's profile and choose one film from the lists for each of the other participants. Right now we have 10 people signed up. You would make 11. So you will have to choose 10 nominations from the lists and assign one to each person. Your choices have to be from the lists section and must not be something the person has already seen. If more people join, then you'll need to choose a nomination for each of them as well. Hopefully that clears it up. |

Re: The Personal Recommendation Hall of Fame
Ok, I’m going to reconsider this. I have until Sunday, right? That’ll give me some time to go over everyone’s lists. That’s the daunting part....cross checking everyone's rather lengthy amount of lists and coming Up with a suitable film for all involved.
Although I’m pretty sure I already know why I’ll pick for Citizen Rules if I join. |
