The Personal Recommendation Hall of Fame II

Not that I'm expecting any of these to be picked but here are a few movies I've watched parts of and turned off because I thought they were, to be nice, not too good ( I don't check off a movie unless I've seen it all the way through):

Marty, Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Wild Bunch, Harold and Maude, Goldfinger, Deep Red, Eyes Wide Shut, Dick Tracy, Alphaville, Oliver!, The Sons of Katie Elder, Billy Madison, My Dinner With Andre, Shakespeare in Love, The Birth of a Nation, Bowling for Columbine, Educating Rita. That's about all of them.

And if you're thinking "Boy, HF hasn't seen many *Woody Allen/James Bond/Charlie Chaplin* movies. HF should see more!" you are wrong. If nominated, I'll watch em, sipping on a giant tub of of vodka and prune juice through a very long straw, but watch out for your nom next time around. I'm sure it'll be right up your alley! Just kidding...a little

Harold and Maude

That's a shame. I really enjoyed this one.

I didn't pick anything on that list though or anything from Chaplin/Bond/Allen either so hopefully I made a good choice.

Btw, you should try The Wild Bunch again at some point.

That's a shame. I really enjoyed this one.

The Wild Bunch is the only one of those that I've considered giving another chance. Someday. Was gonna dive into it again for the Western Countdown but went with movies I had never seen at all. I hate a lot of really good movies - The Shining, Annie Hall are two of the worst movies ever, imo.



Just wasn't feeling it at all. May have been the mood I was in.

I'll decide closer to the deadline. I'm inclined to do this but I still have to watch a few more films from the General HoF till I see if I can handle this.

And I already chose the film for Miss Vicky so, that's half of the work xD

I have my selections made. Just waiting to see if any one on the fence will decide so I can send them all at once.
I think I have a better idea of everyone’s taste this go around. Hoping so anyways. Only two who are difficult still are Miss Vicky and Siddon.
I feel I’m about 50-50 on most others.
Feel better about Citizens, Ed’s, Neibas (if he joins), and Cricket’s however.

As much as Citizen says he's easy to pick for, I feel like I have the hardest time picking for him. I struggle with Ed too.

I liked most of my recommendations last time around. Although I don’t recall who selected what.
Only 3 I didn’t like much were Before Sunrise, The Shop around the Corner, and Road to Perdition.
The last one really surprised me, as I had high expectations for it.
The two romances were smart choices, but didn’t pan out.
Don’t be afraid to select anything for me guys. I meant it when I said I have no limits on films I’ll watch. A though I usually avoid TV movies. And direct to video/dvd films.
But yeah, don’t be afraid to select a silent film, foreign, sci fi, Disney animated, horror, or westerns.
All are equal in my eyes.

I actually think that everyone in these personal recommendations HoFs should make a post similar to MV's, or even just a broad likes and dislikes list. The biggest hurdle for someone like me joining is that I don't think I can pick films for everyone, but if I at least knew what genres to go for or to avoid, I'd feel more much confident.
