[Jan H]

Belle Epoque

 

[SteveGon]

Bill takes Songs from the Second Floor.

I'm taking Francois Truffaut's engaging The Wild Child.


Next up:

Angelo
Lew (I've used up the picks you sent me)
Zen

Also: Bill mentioned that he wouldn't mind going more than 12 rounds. I could go for more. Anyone else want to? Say 15 or so?

 

[Angelo.M]

l'emploi du temps (time out)

a minor gem

i'll go 15 rounds

 

[SteveGon]

Angelo, nice pick - I saw Time Out not too long ago.

 

[Lew Crippen]

The Wind Will Carry Us

 

[Lew Crippen]

I can go a lot of rounds

 

[SteveGon]

Me too. Nice pick, BTW - I probably would have taken that given more picks. :frowning: :p)

 

[Chris_Richard]

I can easily go 15.

 

[Zen Butler]

I kind of feel like I'm getting warmed up. I'd say 15

I'm gonna take a newer film here. I love some of the stuff I've seen come out of Iran and I just loved this film...

Baran


P.S. Damn you to hell Lew !!!

 

[Lew Crippen]

Guess I just got in under the wire. I thought that I could wait a long time in selecting a film in Farsi. I had no idea that I’d have competition.

 

[ErikG]

15 Rounds sounds like a fine idea.

 

[Zen Butler]

You were safe. It was on my list, but a ways down. I think it's funny that both of our next picks were Iranian. The Wind Will Carry Us is absolutely gorgeous. I love what Kiarostami (sp?) & Majidi are doing.
Baran will not be my last Iranian pick if we go 15 rounds.

 

[SteveGon]

Baran will not be my last Iranian pick if we go 15 rounds.

Well, Baran WOULD have been my backup if The Wind Will Carry Us was taken. Argh.

You can probably guess what I'll be taking next. :p)

 

[Lew Crippen]

Steve, I’ve PMed you a few more picks.

 

[Zen Butler]

Steve, if the acronym is A.T.O.C , you are more evil than I thought.
but I have a few more tricks up my sleeve :p

Steve, I’ve PMed you a few more picks

I will NOT PM you anything Steve. I'm keeping my hand well out of sight.

 

[ErikG]

My next selection is El Topo

 

[SteveGon]

Steve, if the acronym is A.T.O.C , you are more evil than I thought.

Nope, you're safe - haven't seen that one yet, though it's on my to-see list. Does T.C.O.P. sound familiar?


Up next:

Chris
Jan
Bill

 

[Chris_Richard]

Ali - Fear Eats the Soul

 

[Zen Butler]

Does T.C.O.P. sound familiar?

+Takes pens and rakes it through notepad +

Great choice, do see the one I so cryptically(is that a word?) mentioned.


BTW: You have a PM

Don't think if you pull that card, C.O.H isn't right around the corner

 

[SteveGon]

Well, I haven't seen C.O.H. yet either. :b In any case, I would only have picked one of those films. Like Lew, I'm going for diversity.

BTW, it looks like we're going for 15 picks each.
