I have been wanting to do some sort of movie draft thing, but I am not sure I can do one of these judge drafts.  

Just to be clear of that first part - you only draft 1 movie from each of those decades?

 Come on, who cares how the judges rank them. It’s all for fun! 

 
I also wanted to define “artistic”: this is a film that you watch more because of its look or style than the storyline. Many of these films may be foreign (see @krista4?) 

 
I'll help with the sheet.

There are only like ten categories I care about, but want to run the sheet for more than just ####s and giggles. I am in, but this is an open call to pardner up with someone.

Art house or indie film would be probably be a good way to describe what you are looking for. As for rock, I would make it count concert films, bio-pics or narrative movies that revolve around rock music. It would be tough to judge but gives lots of options.

 
Also you might want to clarify, can children’s also be animated?
I know most people don't like arbitrary divisions in drafts like these ... but Children's Live Action would be an interesting category apart from Animated.

EDIT: Now that I think about it ... this screams out for a three-way division:

Children's Live Action
Children's Animated
Non-children's Animated

Makes sense. The only change I would consider (though it has a lot of crossover with live action kids) is replace TV movie with fantasy.
Let’s see what people think. I’m open to anything, but I think TV movies deserve consideration and there haven’t been enough great fantasy movies IMO. 

 
Is Legendary Director meant to paired with Modern Director, like the other Legendary categories?

 
If other substitutions are recommended, consider trimming Best Duo, Best Romantic Couple, or Best Screenwriter.

ok fair enough but fantasy is a huge category, it’s not just wizards and dragons. It’s any movie where “magical” events take place- even if they take place in our regular world.

Just to clarify, sequel can also be a Pt. 3 or 4, etc. Just in case you particularly love that third Twilight movie. 

I’m also replacing “mystery” (which can be incorporated into suspense, police, etc.) with sports. We should have a sports category. 

 
I’ve never done one of these, but (as I have an in progress Google doc that sometimes toy with which lists my favorite movie by year) I’m intrigued.  If I’m following right, would this be a 50 round draft?  As I apparently billed ~13 hours of work yesterday, just wondering what the time commitment would be.

 
I haven't drafted anything in a while, I'm in with the caveat that if the total number of drafters goes past 20, I'll back out to keep it from getting too chaotic.

 
What about a "Greatest Scene" type category? That might allow some less than "great" movies that might not get drafted to have some shine with a particularly great 4-5 minutes.
