Here's my voting list, Double Indemnity would've been my number one.

2 Missing
3 Light in the Piazza
4 H-8
5 Blow-Up
6 The Name of the Rose
7 Departures
8 Dial M for Murder

Congrats to whoever nominated Dial M for Murder.
Thanks Raul for hosting.
Can we found out who nominated what?

That would be my nom and I chose this film with you specifically in mind. I thought that you might be the one person, other than myself, who would see a special magic in the film and just go with it and end up being touched by it. Your review was the highlight of this HoF for me. Glad you liked it.

Light in the Piazza-Citizen
Dial M for Murder-Raul
H-8- Cricket
The Name of the Rose- Edarsenal
Missing- Siddon
The Little Girl Who Conquered Time - Jiraffe
Blow-Up- John Constantine
Departures-Hey Fredrick
Picnic at hanging rock-Phoenix

Hope we can do another one soon everybody. If anybody is willing to host it that would be great!

Thank you Raul and congratulations you bastard!

I love these HoFs and I hope we can keep them going. I'm bummed that we use to talk and discuss the movies and now in the last few HoFs we haven't done that much at all. Think we need to inject some freshness into these HoFs to keep them fun. I can't host myself, I'm doing the Noir countdown, but yeah we need a host for the 33rd. Let's make it the best one yet!

I think we can get the next one to be really good too! What we need is a host who is willing to breathe some fresh life into these.

Now by no means have the last ones been bad but I'd say maybe a fresh approach will do us some good to keep the interest there from when it begins to when it ends. The first few weeks when we are all watching stuff is really fun and then it kind of dwindles when people are holding off or delaying the last few films. I myself being a victim of that. I think I'll try to power rush through them the next time as it will just go smoother.

1. Missing
2. Dial M for Murder
3. Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975)
4. Blow-Up (1966)
5. H-8 (1958)
6. The Name of The Rose (1986)
7. Light in the Piazza (1962)
8. Departures (2008)
9. The Girl who leapt through Time (1983)

Which was pretty much in line with the order

Amen to that...Every host has done a great job. It's just that it's nice to shake things up a bit, like having a different host at the Oscars.....and so then maybe a new idea or twist will come from that and increase the fun.

Agreed.. I'm convinced that the longer an HoF is, the longer people take to finish, it's human nature. That's not a complaint just an observation. For me really long HOFs become so boring that I've wondered if I will keep joining.

I think we need firm deadlines and shorter watch times. I'm not saying to DQ somebody who needs a few days extra, I've never done that and wouldn't. This HoF was 4 months for 9 movies. The Noir IV HoF had 12 movies and was done in half the time, 2 months. Just sayin

Ya it's kind of a give and take game. A lot of us needed the time to finish this that was given. Of course it didn't help it was sandwiched between quite a busy time of year.

The less time given, the more pressure and the less participants too, but I totally get what you are saying. I think 2 months for 9 movies is pretty legit. 12 in two months is possible but would be a close call for someone like me.

Agreed again, 12 movies in 2 months was too fast....But like you said 2 months for 9 movies would be the sweet spot.



I wish we could encourage some new people to join, I see people posting about movies here every day here but so far they haven't ventured into the HoFs.

Young Man with a Horn? Obviously I missed that one because I've never heard of it.

You never heard of it? It's fairly well known for a 1950s film. I think it was my #1 on my voting ballot, but kinda hard to remember that far back

Not that I recall

The only one of those HoF winners that I haven't seen is Autumn Sonata from the 4th HoF.

Autumn Sonota is fantastic. You should definitely check it out.

Young Man With A Horn is the only one I've not seen either. Of course I think I've only missed 4 of these

I'm not much of a fan of Bergman, but I know everyone seems to love his films.

Impressive! I believe you must hold the record for being in the most Main HoFs?

I believe I've been in the most HoFs overall (genre and main)...maybe I should go count them
