The 27th General Hall of Fame

actually i'm lying a bit i've technically seen like 4 of the other ones but i'm not counting that because i was a child and remember very little from each of them.

Right on! The best grouping of noms ever! I'm loving it.

I don't have the time to comment right now I have to back to work, no covid excuses for me

There is one movie that my wife has not seen and that she's interested in watching so we are going to watch it tonight on prime.

Safety Last! (1923)
Directors: Fred C. Newmeyer, Sam Taylor (U.S) 1h14m

Magical Girl aka Magična devojka (2014)
Director: Carlos Vermut (Spain) 2h 7m
Nominated by: cricket Not sure, but this looks like one of them Light-hearted, fluffy, life-affirming flicks. I could be wrong. . .
I'm pretty sure I'm wrong. But I am VERY intrigued.

Baby Face (1933)
Director: Alfred E. Green (U.S) 1h 11m
Nominated by: edarsenal This one is mine with a twenty-something Barbara Stanwyck filmed on the border of the Hayes Code yanking all the fun outta flicks.

Apocalypse Now (1979)
*No Specific Edtion/Cut necessary - Viewer's Choice*
Director: Francis Ford Coppola (U.S) 2h 27m
Nominated by: jiraffejustin As stated, it's Viewer's Choice so I'll probably be rolling dice and seeing what Edition I find and run with it.
I do know it's been a while since last seeing this so it'll be a great rewatch.

True Romance (1993)
Director: Tony Scott (U.S) 1h 59m
Nominated by: Miss Vicky Romance?? ROMANCE?!

Midnight Cowboy (1969)
Director: John Schlesinger (U.S.) 1h 53m
Nominated by: SpelingError Silly @ss me, when Speling first nominated it I was thinking of a completely different flick. I did see this during a Personal Rec HoF and had a rough time with it since I had NO IDEA what to expect. I do imagine I'll be warming up to it on my revisit.

Safety Last! (1923)
This is a rewatch for me. I had mixed feelings about it the first time, so we'll see how this goes.

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
Another rewatch. I grew up with the Indy movies and like all of the original trilogy, but for whatever reason Raiders has always been my least favorite of the three. Temple of Doom will always have my heart.

Magical Girl aka Magična devojka (2014)
I don't think I've ever even heard of this.

Baby Face (1933)
I don't generally do well with movies from this era and historically I've not enjoyed the majority of the edarsenal nominations I've watched, so I don't have high hopes. Perhaps this will be one of the few exceptions.

Apocalypse Now (1979)
I haven't seen this, but I generally dislike war movies and a certain water buffalo scene all but guarantees this a last place vote from me.

True Romance (1993)
Obviously I love this movie. I decided that I wanted to guarantee that I would have some fun in this HOF and for whatever reason that led me to consider nothing but 90's movies. It's been awhile since I've seen it so I'm looking forward to rewarding myself with a rewatch.

Jaws (1975)
I've seen this before and thought it was good but didn't love it. Maybe I'll like it more this time.

My Dog Skip (2000)
Haven't seen this before. A little googling mentions animal cruelty but a cursory reading of reviews doesn't say whether that cruelty is real or fake. Not looking forward to this.

Midnight Cowboy (1969)
I watched this once before - perhaps for the 60s countdown? - and thought it was good. I might've even voted for it. Definitely didn't love it though so we'll see how much I enjoy it this time.

Witness for the Prosecution (1957)
Another film I've previously seen while preparing for a decades countdown. I recall liking it well enough. I think I voted for it as well. We'll see how the rewatch goes.

Dolores Claiborne (1995)
I don't think I've ever seen this. No idea what I'll think.

Cure (1997)
Another I don't think I've heard of.

The Secret of Roan Inish (1994)
Definitely haven't heard of this.

L'amour braque aka Mad Love (1985)
Also unfamiliar with this one.

The Secret of Roan Inish (1994)
Heard of it, may have seen it, not sure.

L'amour braque aka Mad Love (1985)
Unfamiliar with this one. Looks like it might be interesting.

which one?

Didn't see anything about that when I first looked it up, perhaps @Siddon can fill us in on that.

I may join this, as I’ve seen 5 of the films already and can write a review for 4 of them easily, since I’ve seen them multiple times. I also own Safety Last, which came included in the Harold Lloyd Boxset I purchased.

I’ll get back to this after I think it over.

Safety Last: i've seen one Harold Lloyd film and i liked it a good bit but i know this is supposed to be his banger. wouldn't be shocked if this tops my ballot

Raiders of the Lost Arc: don't think i've seen this since i was probably like 8-9. obviously know all the famous moments. probably fun???

Magical Girl: probably the most "could go either way" film on the list. no idea what to expect.

Baby Face: this looks girlboss af hell ye

Apocalypse Now: i think i last saw this when i was in the 8th grade. remember nothing. probably cool??

True Romance: same as above but probably bad.

Jaws: the only time i saw this was in class once. probably wasn't paying attention. i'm sure i know all the famous bits.

My Dog Skip: the heat i'm gonna get when i end up putting this like middle of the pack above some of the heavy hitters lmao.

Midnight Cowboy: doesn't necessarily look like my kind of thing but a friend reviewed it on letterboxd and said one thing that has me interested.

Witness for the Prosecution: this does not look like my jam.

Dolores Claiborne: this does not look like my jam.

Cure: it's been a minute since i've seen this. really liked it at the time but its not typically the kind of thing i go for so i am a bit worried about how it holds up.

The Secret of Roan Inish: this looks like it goes hard ngl. hype

L'amour braque: so this was my original pick that couldn't be found anywhere until Citizen managed to track it down for me like a real sweetie I saw this like two weeks ago on Mubi and it was the first movie i'd seen in a minute where i thought "wow i want to watch that again like right now" and so it snuck to the top of my list of things to nominate.

i just assume any movie with an animal in it had animal abuse on set.

Safety Last!: One of my favorite silent films. More than happy to revisit it.

Raiders of the Lost Ark: Seen it a bunch of times, and it's pretty great.

Magical Girl: Haven't heard of this one.
Baby Face: Haven't heard of this one.

Apocalypse Now: I don't think I've ever seen the theatrical cut of this one. I'm going to watch that version.

True Romance: Heard of it, but I haven't seen it.

Jaws: Probably my favorite Spielberg film.

My Dog Skip: Heard of it, but I haven't seen it. I don't even know anything about it.

Midnight Cowboy: My nomination. This was one of my favorite first-time watches of last year, so I'm excited to revisit it for this thread. I'm curious how you'll all respond to it.

Witness for the Prosecution: An excellent courtroom drama. Once I get to it, I might even show it to my roommate to see how he responds to it.

Dolores Claiborne: Heard of it, but I haven't seen it.

Cure: I almost watched it last year, but never got around to it.

The Secret of Roan Inish: My mom has watched this one a bunch of times. I've only seen bits and pieces of it, so I'm happy to finally watch it from beginning to end.

L'amour Braque: I hadn't heard of this one until ueno introduced me to it a few days ago. I've been meaning to check out more Zulawski for a while, so I'm happy to check it out.

Well, I guess it's time to submit my ballot

Roan Irish

She probably hasn't seen Baby Face either but I have to check that one

Nice one!

Regarding Skip, I did find thishttps://humanehollywood.org/production/my-dog-skip/ that details things and expresses no animal cruelty or unsimulated abuse. Though it does hit a lot of "spoiler alerts".

been v slowly going through Zulawski's catalogue. my current fave

I've liked everything I've seen (which is most of them), except for Cosmos. But even that was unique enough to make it worthwhile.

i'm so hype for that one lol. his last movie, terrible reviews, its gotta be some wacky sh*t.
