Directors Comedy Draft! (1 Viewer)

[SteveGon]

For my last two picks, I'll take:

Pedro Almodovar's Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.

And my favorite of the Ealing/Alec Guinness comedies:

The Man in the White Suit.

Up next with their final picks:

Gabe
Chuck
George

 

[Gabe D]

Noises Off!

 

[ChuckDeLa]

Last one...

Harold & Maude

 

[george kaplan]

Last pick :frowning:

To Be or Not To Be (1942)

 

[SteveGon]

Last pick :frowning:

Tell me about it. I wanted to get some Keaton, Chaplin, Lloyd, and Allen on my list. Oh well...

Nice last pick, though. Carole Lombard rules.

 

[ErikG]

Just a thought, why stop at 15 with such a large genre? In the Horror Draft were going 20. I don't see why we can't do the same here.

 

[Jeff Gross]

Sabrina (1954)

 

[SteveGon]

Erik, I could go to 20, as could George, so it's up to you guys - I'm not in a particular hurry to start.

Up next:

Erik
Cary
Mike

 

[ErikG]

Beetlejuice

 

[ChuckDeLa]

I'd be less and less enthusiastic about my picks. I prefer to stop at 15. It's easier to vote that way too.

 

[Cary T]

The Naked Gun

Mike goes.

 

[SteveGon]

Still waiting on Mikey...

 

[george kaplan]

That would start happening to me to. After about my first 600 picks.

 

[Mike Hutman]

Uncle Buck
