The Personal Recommendation Hall of Fame IV

I wanted to give somebody Black Dynamite so bad but comedies... I haven't had good luck nominating them.

I've seen 7 of Raul's. A couple I liked, but wasn't that crazy for, but a couple others are among my favorites. Solid list.

I've only seen 2 of Sean's. Love both. He has a couple of films that have been on my radar for a while, though.

I've seen 4 of Siddon. One of those, I haven't seen since I was a kid. He was my toughest to choose for... again (but then again, we ended up trading #1's in the last one, so maybe we'll repeat that again?)

It's definitely grown on me. 8/10 I'd say. Seen 3 times

My list:
1. Forrest Gump
2. On the Waterfront
3. Gladiator
4. A Beautiful Mind
5. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
6. The Godfather
7. 12 Years a Slave
8. Moonlight
9. Argo
10. Mutiny on the Bounty
11. All the King's Men



Still shakes me to my core Gump over Godfather

I've seen 3 of Takoma's. Looking at her list, I'm reminded of her ask for "joyful" and "optimistic" films. Oh boy

Yeah I expected to get a bunch of classics and such since I don't particularly seek them out anyways. This will be fun, I'm excited.

Look forward to your thoughts.

I must of missed The Poseidon Adventure....what list was that on? But this is a fine batch...

A Taste of Honey (1961)
Cabaret (1972)
Dancer in the Dark (2000)
Floating Weeds (1959)
The Lives of Others (2006)
MASH (1970)
Million Dollar Baby (2004)
Mystery Train (1989)
Roman Holiday (1953)
Stand By Me (1986)
Sullivan's Travels (1941)

I'll be very surprised if Sullivan's Travels doesn't claim the one spot here. Very interested in seeing a review of Mystery Train

I've seen 4 of Thursday's. Liked/loved all four. He was the only one I had to send an alternate cause someone nabbed my first *raises fist in the air*

And finally, I've seen only one from cricket's (mine, obviously).

The African Queen (1951) - heard about it, don't know anything about it
Autumn Sonata (1978) - a Bergman I've been wanting to watch
Cleo from 5 to 7 (1952) - never saw anything by Varda... I'm curious
Diabolique (1955) - heard about it, don't know anything about it
Eyes Without a Face (1960) - been on my watchlist for ages
The Fly (1986) - I can't stand Cronenberg, but let's see what's this about
The French Connection (1971) - been on my watchlist for ages, somehow I think I will really like this one
The Fugitive (1993) - never heard about it
Mean Streets (1973) - been on my watchlist for ages
Miller's Crossing (1990) - cohen bros is a hit and miss with me, let's see.
Point Break (1991) - hmmm... risky nom! I hope I like it!
The White Ribbon (2009) - Haneke is amazing, I just have to be in the right mood to watch it.

I'd have to check, but I can get you a replacement if you've seen it.

Black Narcissus (1947)
The Double Life of Veronique (1991)
Exit Through the Gift Shop (2010)
High Noon (1952)
The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957)
The Innocents (1961)
Mustang (2015)
The Prestige (2006)
Tootsie (1982)
Touch of Evil (1958)
The Virgin Spring (1960)

I love That The Incredible Shrinking Man got picked...it'll come in last because of competition but it's an awesome film

Wendy and Lucy appears a few times. That’s a film I’ve been meaning to watch for awhile, considering I’m a big fan of Michelle Williams.

The Cranes are Flying (1957)
The Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)
Gentleman's Agreement (1947)
In Cold Blood (1967)
La Collectionneuse (1967)
The Little Foxes (1941)
Night Moves (2013)
The River (1951)
Rosemary's Baby (1968)
Sansho the Bailiff (1954)
Waterloo Bridge (1940)

More of a fun list, but if Rosemary's Baby doesn't win we riot.

I see that you guys picked some of the movies for others, that I was considering, we all must have great taste!

Pretty sure it's on the 100 years...100 thrills list.

Well you definitely have a lot to write about...I think my pick is going to win though.

These are the movies I watch:

Alice in Wonderland (1951)
Bob Le Flambeur (1956)
Bullitt (1968)
City Lights (1931)
The Conversation (1974)
The Full Monty (1997)
The General (1926)
Paris, Texas (1984)
The Player (1992)
Room at the Top (1959)
Secrets & Lies (1996)
Zodiac (2007)

Nice choices everyone! I'm a little dubious about one of those, but who knows I might end up loving it. Three of them I haven't heard of...and a few of them have been on my must see list. So a good haul
