Directors The Foreign Film Draft (1 Viewer)

[Brian Lawrence]

My first choice will be one of George Kaplan's all-time favorite films...

-Cries and Whispers

 

[george kaplan]

Good choice Brian (any film not on my list is a good choice for you to take )

Since I'm 99% sure what Rain's film is (and mine isn't the same) can I go now.

How many films are we picking? 10? I need to take a different strategy in this draft, since my pool isn't as deep. Normally, I just take my top choice, but in this case, I need to worry about popularity among other people.

 

[Rain]

No surprise here.

I'll open with....

Les Enfants du Paradis

 

[george kaplan]

Also,

I'd like a ruling from Justin on spaghetti westerns and other films that were dubbed for the U.S.

 

[george kaplan]

I was right about Rain.

OK, I'll open with The Killer

 

[Justin_S]

Dubbed films are definitely allowed, and I guess I'll allow French Canadian films.

Steve, I was thinking of doing a horror draft myself, but I went with this one for now. You can run the other foreign draft yourself if you like.

Brook's up.

[Brook K]

8 1/2

 

[george kaplan]

I knew I should have taken 8 1/2. It's not my favorite by a long shot, but I know it's popular.

Oh, well,

I'll take M

 

[Justin_S]

Time.

Rain can pick whenever, and Brian can now go.

 

[Rain]

The 400 Blows

Back to you Justin.

 

[Justin_S]

Hmm, I think that this time around I'll go with THE VANISHING and DIABOLIQUE, two of my favorite films that have both gotten the Criterion treatment. Back to you Cary.
