HTF Movie Draft! Join in quick! (1 Viewer)

Andy all the way! He has my favorite list of anyone in this draft. THE THING, DARK CITY, SCARECROWS, CUBE, and EVENT HORIZON are all major favorites of mine! The other films on his list are also good, but not favorites, except for PHOTOGRAPHING FAIRIES and LAWN DOGS, which are the only two on his list that I haven't seen.

 

[JohnRice]

Justin, just out of curiosity, how many of the films on my list have you seen?

 

[Justin_S]

John, I've seen all of them except FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, THE MAN IN THE MOON, and ROOM WITH A VIEW. I'll admit that the only reason I saw THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST was because of Reese Witherspoon, but I actually wound up liking the film a good bit.

 

[JohnRice]

Well, Justin, I'm surprised. You've seen a lot more of them than I expected. You should see The Man in the Moon, if only to see Reese Witherspoon again.

As I said earlier, my two least favorite lists, but I give the edge barely to Andy based on my extreme dislike of Gone with the Wind and A Room with a View.

....but I give the edge barely to Andy based on my extreme dislike of Gone with the Wind.....

Geesh, George sometimes you must amaze even yourself.

 

[JohnRice]

Dome,
Everybody gets to vote. Especially when they vote for me.

 

[Paul_D]

John, because there's less I'm indifferent to on his list. Andy's has too much horror than I enjoy but don't love. John has a handful of films I love, some genuine great films, and a few very questionable picks.

 

[Matt Pelham]

Andy Olivera for the same reasons as Justin, and I just can't bring myself to vote for any list that includes Miller's Crossing

 

[Rob Tomlin]

John mostly because I don't care for the Horror Genre much, which is Andy's strong point.

My only quibbles with John's list are Doctor Zhivago (which gets worse upon repeat viewings)...

Interesting. I have just the opposite view (i.e., it gets better with repeat viewings). I personally think that Dr. Zhivago is John's strongest pick!

 

[JohnRice]

Rob, I was just about to compliment you, until I realized Zhivago is a David Lean. Thanks for the vote, though.

John Rice
I've only seen 3 films off his list and 4 from Andy's, though was unimpressed by 2 of them.
Of the one's I haven't seen, I'd rather watch the ones on John's list.

 

[Steeve Bergeron]

I'll go with Johnny Boy mainly because of Gone with the Wind, a film I wanted to pick.

 

[Elizabeth S]

I've seen 3 films on Andy's list (Dark City, Poltergeist and Cube) and like them a lot.

I've seen 4 on John's (Miller's Crossing, Leaving Las Vegas, Man in the Moon and Cinema Paradiso).

I'd have to go with John's list. . .have a particular soft spot for "Man in the Moon".

 

[Rob Tomlin]

Rob, I was just about to compliment you, until I realized Zhivago is a David Lean. Thanks for the vote, though.

 

[Andy Olivera]

...in fairness I haven't seen a number of Andy's movies. The fact that I don't really have a strong desire to see them, however, speaks volumes.

You're missing out, man. If ever you want to see some sci-fi/horror films that don't insult your intelligence, these would be a good place to start...

 

[JohnRice]

For the most part, but Event Horizon? Not insult your intelligence? Yeah, right.


...and Elizabeth, I just watched The Man in the Moon again last night, for about the umteenth time.

 

[ErikG]

I too, love horror movies, so Andy easily.
