Golden Age Comedy Hall of Fame (1952-1976)
 
https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/i...asxS7EWYJj51ng





Alright time to take up the next step in comedy. We're going from 1952-1976. This is a thin era for comedy though you have quite a bit of diversity of genres. This was an era where you had a little something for everyone from biting satire, to rom coms, to foreign classic's to screwball escapades.



I'm assuming turnout is going to be low so feel free to send two nominations because I doubt we'll get more than 7 people.

I really shouldn't be doing this one, I have a lot on my plate, but I'm entering anyways.

Citizen Rules 07-27-19 02:01 PM

Re: Golden Age Comedy Hall of Fame (1952-1976)
 
In...I'll send my noms soon. The last one had some of the best films I've seen in an HoF, so here's hoping for a bunch more great comedies.

VERY cool!
I'm in, but it'll take a few days to pick out my two noms.

CosmicRunaway 07-27-19 08:28 PM

Do you have a date in mind for when you wanted to start this? Will you be accepting nominations for awhile, or are you looking to get this rolling soon?

There are a number of comedies from this period that I enjoy, but I feel like I haven't done much for the Animation HoF yet. I did just watch my third film for that, however we have inventory coming up soon at work, and my temporarily altered schedule is going to limit how much time I have to watch anything.

Most of the animated films are on the shorter side though, so if I can still get through a few this week, I might be able to join this as well. We'll see.

I need to see what's going to be nominated before making that determination if we get 10 people I'm going to take 20 noms and run this till Christmas

I'm not setting cut lines for this Hall or the next one (which really should be massive. I just feel like we need to have a gentlemens agreement that if you make multiple nominations that you finish it and that you select quality films.

Comedies tend to run fairly short, you've got some outliers but finding something that tops two hours from that period of time is unusual.

I didn't mean when the deadline was, since that's always determined by the number of films. I meant how long you were going to accept nominations before starting.

A week after the reveal...and that'll be based on when I get enough submissions.

I'm OK with a longer period for taking noms. If waiting a little longer means we can pick up a couple more people like Cosmic, then that's good! The more the merrier:p

I concur, taking a little extra time to get more folks are ideal and I like how you're setting this up, Siddon. Very nice.

Siddon, are we supposed to include a review with our noms, and also provide comments on the other noms, or will this just be a listing for the forum members to eventually vote on?

I think this is just a regular hall of fame, so you nominate two (or one if you want) comedies from that era and then you have to watch and review all the others that people have nominated, and then turn in a list. So the same thing as Classic Comedy HoF which I think you did.

Thanks, Ahwell.:)
