The 11th Hall of Fame

Oh, and I think this might be the first time in a HoF where I put another movie above my own nomination, so congrats Miss Vicky!

I never want myself to win and never just put my own nom above others to win the HoF. But my own nom is usually something I really really love, so having a movie I love even more in the HoF is going to be hard... but Her was that movie.

I knew Her would win.

Embrace would have won had you not dropped out.

I doubt it.

It would be high though! Trust and believe my friend!

Embrace the positivity!!!

Just checked into the ida thing. I had 3x4ths listed instead of 3x5ths. Me, Cosmic and MV had it listed there. I had it down as that until i put it into the post then i changed it to 4 by accident. It changes nothing, it just goes from 83 to 78 giving Good Bye Lenin! a higher lead.

01.Her - 92 Points
02.Samurai Rebellion - 86 Points
03.Good Bye Lenin! - 85 Points
04.Ida - 78 Points
05.Moonrise Kingdom - 73 Points
06.The Flowers of War - 67 Points
07.Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - 61 Points
08.Bringing Up Baby - 58 Points
09.Ronin - 49 Points
10.Bashu, The Little Stranger - 43 Points
11.The Dead Girl - 32 Points

Congrats Vicki! Not my fave Phoenix movie,but with him in the lead i dont mind it winning

Good Luck to Cricket on hosting the next one,i have some in mind already

Oh and i forgot to post my list. I don't even know where it is haha, think it was something like this though:

01.Bringing Up Baby
02.Moonrise Kingdom
03.Her

These are all time favourites and i could've had them in any order. I only really had them that way because i figured BB and Moonrise would need more help. In the end i could've had them in any order and it would'nt have changed anything.

04.Samurai Rebellion
05.Ida

These were the two first time watches i liked the most. There was a few things keeping both back from becoming favourites but i plan on watching them both again.

06.Good Bye Lenin!
07.Bashu The Little Stranger

These two were really good but i had a few problems with them.

08.The Flowers of War
09.Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
10.Ronin


There's alot to like about these three but i didn't get completely into any of them. The Flowers of War is kind of teetering between this group and the one above it.

11.The Dead Girl

The only one i didn't like.

I'm glad Her won this, by far the best film!

1. Her
2. Moonrise Kindgom
3. Goodbye Lenin
4. The Flowers of War
5. Bringing Up Baby
6. Samurai Rebellion
7. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
8. Ida
9. Dead Girl
10. Ronin
11. Bashu

I like to see other voting list Where's Cricket's voting list, he usually post it, Cricket?

Her is a good movie, its well made and very conventional except for the science fiction elements. I knew it was going to "win" this HoF given the cultural background of the participants.

Good nomination?

"Bashu, the Little Stranger was voted the "Best Iranian Film of all time" in November 1999 by a Persian movie magazine "Picture world" poll of 150 Iranian critics and professionals.[1]"

Its one of the most critically acclaimed films ever nominated in a HoF in this forum, although not particularly well know outside of Iran which is pretty sad. Instead, we have crackpot Iranian directors like Kiarostami that are famous in the west.

You're lucky I gave it a 6th place on my voting list. Which was the second highest rating by a member. If the exact same film would have been made in America I would voted it dead last. It's not that great.

Given your cultural background its natural you wouldn't think it's great.

I wouldn't think its possible for Americans to make a movie such as Bashu, its very Iranian in its nature.

Your a jackass. Time to knock off your bullsh!t. Nobody is enjoying it.

Why should the amount of acclaim it has play into anyone's enjoyment of it? And what makes it one of the most acclaimed in one of the HOFs?

What do you mean by this Citizen? Did you like it less than the five films you had below it but put it higher because it was Iranian? Sorry if that's not the case but that's what this comment sounds like.

Because when Iranians make movies about Iranian culture, it's groundbreaking. But when Americans make movies about American culture, it's conventional.

Whatever.

That's not the case. My enjoyment of the film was enhanced because it showed me something I had never seen before. I think Cricket actually said it best.

Sorry, forgot

He actually calls it a good nomination but you rather want to tell people why it's a great - no wait - the best nomination ever in a HoF because it's the most critically acclaimed movie ever (in one country). Bravo.

It's not even funny no more how you are always gonna stir things up or start unneccessary discussions...
