Directors Foreign Film Draft Two (1 Viewer)

[Bill McA]

Like Steve, I'll be avoiding the usual suspects (for the most part) and will be picking slightly more obscure personal favorites as opposed to the more well-known and critically esteemed films.

My first pick is Die Blechtrommel, aka The Tin Drum.

The selection process will run 1 - 8, 1 - 8, etc.

Bummer!!!!

 

[SteveGon]

Bummer!!!!

Sorry!!!!

I'll take Dersu Uzala - one of my favorite Kurosawas that I'm not gonna risk losing.

 

[SteveGon]

Up next:

Angelo
Lew
Zen


I'll be offline until late tonight so if Angelo makes his pick, have Zen (if he shows up) make two picks. I'll post Lew's pick when I get back.

Thanks!

 

[SteveGon]

Okay, we'll skip Angelo for now.

Lew takes Sanjuro.

We'll also skip Zen since he hasn't been around.

I could throw out another grail, but I'll follow Steve's lead and make more personal choices in this draft. My next pick is the best food movie ever:

Babette's Feast

Next up:

Angelo, I have to work all day so if Bill makes his pick anytime soon, go ahead and go. I have Lew's pick and with Zen still not showing up, Erik can go after you. I'll post my pick (along with Lew's) later tonight.

Thanks!
