I'll consider this. I have no idea what to nominate, though. Quite a few titles that have popped up are hard to find or bound to piss other participants off or even both.

I actually hope you do join. Outside of Pretty Baby, and Tideland I’ve liked your nominations. Angel Heart especially was a pleasant surprise, and In a Glass Cage, while not “great”, was full of style.

I'm in. I'm only in the mood for a small HOF at the moment (but if this ends up having lotsa participants I don't mind that either).

I'll be interested to see how many noms we get that aren't from Japan or South Korea.

I figure most noms will be from Japan and South Korea as well (spoilers: mine isn’t). Followed maybe by Hong Kong/ China, Taiwan, India. If we’re lucky, maybe a few from Indonesia,Iran or Palestine. I doubt it, but it’d be very interesting

Join: It doesn't really matter if lotsa people hate your nom. Besides, it's cool to introduce people to unfamiliar parts of cinema.

So far we have eight members, yahoo! Even if we get a lot more people there will be extra time if needed for this, so no worries.

We have some awesome films so far! When I have some free time I'll post a teaser with the names of countries are noms came from.

It's not from Joe, so go ahead and flip it.
