The Great 2020 All Time Movie Draft- The judging is heavily biased against me. It’s a hoax! Fake news. (2 Viewers)

as i've said before, never liked her until a drunken watch almost a decade ago of her most famous flick. during the watch, i got an idea for a sequel, which my FFApper friends know is the favorite of my many open writing files. in the process, i've had to watch this film upwards of 40 times and i am impossibly amazed to say that my enthrallment with her portrayal has not dimmed one li'l flicker, which has grown my admiration of her leaps & bounds

When I started going back to watch older movies, I had the idea that I wouldn't like her. It took about 5 seconds of her being on screen to change that opinion. She's just so damn charming and cute.

IMO Aliens was the last of the great sequel picks, as i think most others fall in that category of being in a franchise or having source material, and not being as much of a "true" movie sequel. If I took a movie at the last turn that was going to be it.

I've got another one lined up

 
You'll all laugh at my next pick but I don't care. It's a long time between my picks so I can't afford to miss out on it due to scarcity.

 
Well, the draft has really hit it's stride after a somewhat bumpy start.  I think each of the last 10 picks (save Bad News Bears) was one that Hags and I considered.

and, unlike most of her contemporaries, Miss Hepburn deftly suggested the possibility that she might love you back

The plot works on both levels. Looks like the director wanted it ambiguous, while the lead actor and one of the screenwriters both understood that Deckard was fully human.

The six subsequent released versions of the 1982 theatrical cut, as a group, haven't cleared anything up. Sometimes the "Deckard is a replicant" feints are left in, sometimes they're not.

It does, and they stir the ambiguity pot in the sequel too. To me, it makes no sense if he's a Replicant. Deckard is supposed to be the audience's proxy and if he's not then the lessons are lessened in impact. IMO, of course.

The details matter, man.  Great movie, not a great example of a movie sequel. (Of course, IMO) 

oh, and for sure I had it written down.

Because ... the Batman/Gotham City universe initially existed outside of cinema? Trying to grok your reasoning here.

Correct.  Didn't they also pull a bit of that story from a graphic novel?  

JMO, but the top examples and scores for the category should come movie sequels.   Not movies of an existing storyline, books, 2nd parts of envisioned trilogies, etc.

I hope you're not the judge for the sequel category.

It doesn't feel like much of a sequel to me either. How many Batman movies did we see before it, and how long was it between them? I'll give the 30+ years that went by before the 80's Batman, but it was only eight years between the old series and Nolan's. 

To me, sequels are almost "wow, that did well - let's do another". We knew we were getting lots more of Batman regardless.

The part in red happens with some frequency -- not so much that a second movie goes into the pipeline immediately after the first one is completed, but the idea that an original screenplay was conceived as part of a longer saga.

I guess I cant think of too many besides Star Wars of the top of my head.  Could be I just dont know back stories to some of the movies. 

 
6.2 - Spaceballs (1987) - Comedy

How can this not score well?  The master of comedy starring in his own movie!

I'm calling an audible on myself and switching categories.
Because I've seen it and not much else in the genre...

6.3 - This is Spinal Tap - Rock

 May I start by saying how thrilled we are to have you here. We are such fans of your music and all of your records. I’m not speaking of yours personally, but the whole genre of the rock and roll.

 
6.4 The Exorcist-GOAT Horror

tje first horror movie to be nominated for best picture, this movie scares the #### out of me to this day.

 
I’m going to slot this in sequel, but may decide to flip it to 30s or even horror a bit later as it gives me some flex slot options.... Currently 100% on RT, an incredible film...

6.5 Bride of Frankenstein - 1935 - Sequel

From wiki

The Bride of Frankenstein is a 1935 American science fiction horror film, and the first sequel to Universal Pictures' 1931 film Frankenstein. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest sequels in cinematic history, with many fans and critics considering it to be an improvement on the original Frankenstein.

The preparation to film the sequel began shortly after the premiere of the first film, but script problems delayed the project. Principal photography began in January 1935, with creative personnel from the original returning in front of and behind the camera. Bride of Frankenstein was released to critical and popular acclaim, although it encountered difficulties with some state and national censorship boards. Since its release the film's reputation has grown, and it is now frequently considered one of the greatest sequels ever made. It has been hailed as Whale's masterpiece. In 1998, it was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Film Registry, having been deemed "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant".[4][5][6]
