World War II HoF
Welcome to the Word War II Hall of Fame http://live-suncommunitycalendar.tim...d-17354322.jpg
Coming just two decades after the last great global conflict, the Second World War was the most widespread and deadliest war in history, involving more than 30 countries and resulting in more than 50 million military and civilian deaths (with some estimates as high as 85 million dead). Sparked by Adolf Hitler’s invasion of Poland in 1939, the war would drag on for six deadly years until the final Allied defeat of both Nazi Germany and Japan in 1945.
The rules are the same as other HoF's: nominate a movie, watch all the nominations and send me a list with a ranked order. Whoever does not send the list gets his movie disqualified. Are eligible to this HoF every movie related to the World War II, being the conflict itself (from any point of view), the Holocaust, etc. You have until Januay 15th to send me your nomination. That gives you one week to choose from a wide range of amazing movies related to WW II. After that, I'll decide a deadline, depending on how many people join this and I'll update this thread. We never had a movie about this subject winning a HoF before so everything is eligible! I hope we can all enjoy this so remember this is only a game and we're all here to have fun and be amazed in the process, so be nice! :) Participants: Citizen Rules (list received) Fabulous (list received) Guaporense (list received) LukeyMomo (disqualified) MovieGal (dropped out) neiba (list received) Nope1172 (Dropped Out) Pussy Galore SilentVamp (list received) The Usual Suspect (dropped out) |
Re: World War II HoF
Deadline for sending your list is April 16th!!! Nominations: So Proudly We Hail (Mark Sandrich, 1943) nominated by Citizen Rules
So Proudly We Hail is a dramatic telling of one of the biggest Allied defeats of WWII....the fall of the Philippines and Bataan to the Japanese army. The defeated U.S. troops rush to evactuate to the nearby island of Corregidor. This is when the infamous Bataan Death March, happened. What makes this film unique, is it was made during the war, so has a much different feel to it.

Seriously though, I want this to have a relatively extended duration, so noone feels pressured! You still have some time to see how fast can you deal with other HoF's, so don't worry. Besides, if someone needs some extra days, it's fine by me! I want this to have the least drop outs possible! |
Re: World War II HoF
Whoa. This one is a must for me.
|
Re: World War II HoF
I might join. If I do it will be at last minute.

Re: World War II HoF
hahahahahahaha there are exceptions
|
I'm in for sure!.....Cool idea for a Hof Neiba. Now I just have to decide which film to nominate.
This is an interesting list of American World War II films made during World War II http://www.imdb.com/list/ls070247508/ I looked, but couldn't find a list of British made WWII films made during WWII... I would LOVE to see a list of German and Japanese fictional WWII films that they made during WWII. Mark can you help on that? |
Re: World War II HoF
I'd like to participate. I haven't seen many WWII films (besides the obvious choices) and I'd like to see some interesting ones.
