Cool! Glad to have you.

I loved your choice for me last time, The Naked Island (1960) such a unique, minimalist type film that I would have never seen if it wasn't for the last Movie Roulette.

Some from the first Movie Roulette said they wanted to continue, hopefully they're still up for it?

@jiraffejustin @cricket @edarsenal

and of course ANYONE else can give this a try....Questions about how this works? Just ask:D

Oh yeah!
I just remarked on The Naked Island being on your Countdown list, so when I can, I read your review. Nice!
Here's a Cheat Sheet for anyone picking movies for me

Glad you're in! I took a gander at your Cheat Sheet and I've seen some of the blue watch list ones, some really great films there.

Hoping for at least a few more people.

I'm probably going to hold off on joining any more Hall of Fame's until the 26th HoF starts, but I hope enough people join this one as well :up:

Oh, I understand being busy alright, I'm so overworked these days:eek:

I should say this is not an HoF. It's not structured like one and has different goals. It's much more like Cricket's idea of the Personal Recommendation series.

Sure thing...and good point, thanks. I will change it now in the first post.

I have to sit this one out, struggling to make hay with the HoF. More time come November.

Bummer...hopefully see you in November.

If you end up with an odd number of participants when you guys want to start, I can join. I'm just really bad at recommending films, and equally terrible at remembering which films I've already seen haha.

Speaking of which, if someone (;)) started to watch a film, then realized they had already seen it, would they just pick one of the other two options they were given?

An odd number would be fine, you should join:) This is just for fun, not really formal like an HoF.

Yup. Works for me:p

To late to sign up if you’ll have me?

Sure why not, glad to have you join! Oh and you and Cosmic would make an even number again.

How would that work though? One person sits out each week?
