+8
I was going to wait until a film from my ballot shows up, but I guess it's time after twenty films revealed. I've only seen five (in theory six, but I'll go with five) this far. Nothing from my ballot has shown up yet.
I just watched Paprika for an HoF, and thought it was pretty decent. I missed some more adult imagery in its visual extravaganza, though. I'm pretty sure Kiki's Delivery Service was also in a recent HoF. I liked the first 2/3 but the final act kinda messed its cozy atmosphere with too much action. The Skin I Live In is yet another HoF nominee. Like the two previous films, I found it OK (maybe less than the animations, but still). The story just relied too much on the twist, and the reveal was made way too early for that.
Suspiria is among my favorites, but I consciously stayed away from all the films where there was any question of whether they should count as a foreign language or not. Had I chose to greenlight it, it would have easily made my ballot. And then we have, believe it or not, one more HoF nominee (though, I had seen it before the HoF), Vampyr. It has some great scenes and visuals and atmosphere, but I hate the lead and the story just doesn't make any sense.
I'm also pretty sure that I've seen Sonatine, but it's been so long that I don't remember much. I was planning to watch it (and some other Kitanos) for this, but it never happened. I don't count it as seen, though.
