The Great 2020 All Time Movie Draft- The judging is heavily biased against me. It’s a hoax! Fake news. (1 Viewer)

[TheWinz]

Let us know if we can help.  If you would like to leave a list of your picks, I can take of that for you.  (Mr R can check it for you.)

Thanx, but with COVID going on, I can't visit her.  This is a nice break from thinking bad thoughts.

Positive thoughts sent your way, homie.... 

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

The Sixties are just a wasteland for the movies, so I thought I'd just take Seven Samurai.

Round 16.1  -  Sixties Movie -  The Magnificent Seven

Funny how well this worked as a western.  Plus it has wonderful music, cinematography, and some fine, spotlightable actors.

 

[TheWinz]

16.2 - Scarlett Johansson - Modern Female Movie Star

Absolute bombshell who can do it all.  And highest paid actress to boot!

@EYLive you are up

 

[EYLive]

16.3 - Christopher Nolan - Modern Director.
He made a few of my favorite movies of all time.

 

[TheWinz]

@tuffnutt whatcha got?

 

[EYLive]

Didn't we used to be able to delete posts? 

 

[AAABatteries]

Spreadsheet should be up to date now.

You can hide but no longer delete

Awesome, thanx.  Are you and Hags tagteaming it?  Just wanna know who, in case we spot errors.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

16.3 - Christopher Nolan - Modern Director.
He made a few of my favorite movies of all time.

Was likely my next pick.

 

[AAABatteries]

Yep - if you see any issues let either of us know.

16.3 - Christopher Nolan - Modern Director.

This was the other guy I was eyeing up if I didn't get PTA.  

 

[Doug B]

15.14 - Alan Rickman - Best Supporting Actor

Dang. I made a list of supporting actors to work from and overlooked Rickman completely. He's better than practically everyone I wrote down except maybe some old-school guys.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Wow, this thing died.

 

[jwb]

Wow, this thing died.

Saturday night.

I'm sure we'll get a few picks in today, then resume normally tomorrow.

 

[mphtrilogy]

I think @tuffnuttis up is that correct?  I’ve got my pick ready to roll after he makes his...

 

[TheWinz]

Yup, he is up now

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Saturday night.

Yeah I’m not really complaining as I do not want to be tied to a computer over the weekend - in fact I may not be around much today.

 

[mphtrilogy]

I’ll check in again at lunch, heading offline for now.... 

 

[TheWinz]

I've never studied so hard for a draft in all my life!

 

[Mr. Mojo]

The spreadsheet is really helpful.

I was amazed that Braveheart was still available but saw in the spreadsheet that it went quite a while ago (my bad).

 

[TheWinz]

I see you are judging the westerns.  Give me a few minutes to plug my selection...

Indeed. Weekend movement in these online drafts should be treated as a pleasant surprise, not an expectation.

I promised you a write-up to plug my choice of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly for best western of all time, but I think I will let someone else do it for me...

"My favorite movie of all time is The Good, and the Bad, and the Ugly.  Why?  Because it's the greatest achievement in the history of cinema"

Those are the exact words directly from the mouth of Quentin Tarantino.

16.04 American Graffiti- teen/high school

One of the most influential of all teen films, American Graffiti is a funny, nostalgic, and bittersweet. My favorite George Lucas film,  American Graffiti nails youthful nostalgia perfectly

 

[TheWinz]

@mphtrilogy you are up

Ouch, I had that one in mind for a different category. Great pick.

 

[mphtrilogy]

I’m trying to take movies and artists I really like, the judging part is good fun, but for me, I have to love the movie... this is a strategic selection for me, could go into 4 diff categories, 80’s, SCI-fi on earth, sequel, or action...  for now I’m going to slot it into Sci-Fi on earth, but may do a big shuffle further down the line .. or not...  a long time fave of mine....

16.05 - The Road Warrior aka Mad Max 2 - 1981 - sci-fi on earth...

The film's post-apocalyptic and punk aesthetics popularised the genre in film and fiction writing. It was also a box office success, being the highest-grossing Australian film worldwide. It won the Best International Film from six nominations at the Saturn Award ceremony,..... Mad Max 2 became a cult film, with fan clubs and "road warrior"-themed activities continuing into the 21st century, and is now widely considered to be one of the greatest action movies ever made, as well as one of the greatest sequels ever made.[6] The film was preceded by Mad Max in 1979 and followed by Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome in 1985 and Mad Max: Fury Road in 2015.

Next up!

 

[Ilov80s]

I can't really remember when I last had any hope, and I certainly can't remember when anyone else did either. 
 

16.06 Best Sci-Fi on Earth: Children of Men  (2006)

One of the best sci-fi movies, action movies, movies of the aughts.

Very cool story, I really liked this one.

 

[EYLive]

16.3 - Christopher Nolan - Modern Director.
He made a few of my favorite movies of all time.

I just read that Tenent would be delayed indefinitely. So bummed. Was there any doubt that this was going to be an awesome mindbending ride?

 

[Andy Dufresne]

16.07 - Inception - Best of 2010's

No time for write up right now.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Is that another snipe?

Oh yeah.  Had it for that category and book. 

Eta:  deep categories, just sometimes surprised at picks like this and not even 1/2 way through this beast.

I have it for action and 00s as well so it's versatility was a big factor for me there

16.04 American Graffiti- teen/high school

I didn't do a good sell job on this movie to Hags - nice pick.

 

[AAABatteries]

I spent some time doing some research and it seems like the draft is going to start getting harder in about 4-5 rounds.  Lots of good picks still but I'm having more trouble with relative value now that during the first 10 rounds.

Great scenes, but not sure how it would do in action.

I think what gives me a false sense of security is it seems like during the first 5-7 rounds my list would get destroyed, now it's more like 2-3 picks I had written down are taken during my long wait.

16.07 - Inception - Best of 2010's

No time for write up right now.

Channeling @krista4 here...

Inception?  more like Exposition, amiright?? 

 

[KarmaPolice]

I really should make a list of movies picked that I haven't seen before.  Well, maybe besides a couple genres.   

I was researching/watching a teen movie last night.  I have never seen American Graffiti though.  

 

[Ilov80s]

Great scenes, but not sure how it would do in action.  

Yeah maybe, even though it has 2 of the best action scenes I've seen

 

[KarmaPolice]

Long take with the car chase is awesome.  Just my , but could be wrong.

How much of me not clicking with Fury Road was me never seeing any of the movies in this series?

 

[Doug B]

15.06: The Seventh Seal, Greatest Movie of All Time

A lot of reference and call-backs in later films, both ridiculous and sublime, make a lot more sense after seeing The Seventh Seal.

Never heard of it

Have you seen this scene from this other film** ? It's an homage to The Seventh Seal.

** I'm comfortable this won't get drafted.
