Directors HTF Tournament: Reviving the Icons of Cinema (1 Viewer)

[Ric Bagoly]

Ill Second
The Three Stooges

 

[ChuckDeLa]

I nominate Walt Disney
Honorable mention: Frank Capra, Graham Chapman, River Phoenix, Marty Feldman
I'm guessing the final round will be Kubrick vs Hitchcock, with Kurosawa as a semi-finalist.

 

[ChuckDeLa]

However, I'll be doing a "They should be stars" tournament soon, featuring our favorite non-stars who SHOULD be stars. I've got dibs on nominating Steve Buscemi and Janeane Garofalo!

IMO, both of those people are already "stars". Maybe not SUPER-stars, but certainly recognizable and celebrated enough to be considered stars.

 

[Walt Riarson]

I nominate Vincent Price.
Actor Honorable Mentions: Marty Feldman, Madeline Kahn, Gilda Radner.

Director Honorable Mentions: Frank Capra, Mario Bava, Lucio Fulci.

 

[Rob Tomlin]

Nominate Frank Capra!
I just finished watching It Happened One Night about 10 minutes ago! It is amazing how well that film holds up over time. A great movie, by a great director!

Well, I think they should be super-stars! I greatly prefer them to say, Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts.

 

[Justin_S]

I nominate the late, great Mario Bava, who was one of horror's best and most influential directors.

 

[Dome Vongvises]

Nominations noted and seconding noted, give me a sec to skim through the thread.

I'd like to throw a vote out for the unforgettable Donald Pleasence. He was an amazing character actor with range and versatility. Films like THX-1138, THE GREAT ESCAPE and of course HALLOWEEN, would never have been the same without him.
"I SHOT HIM SIX TIIIIMES!"

 

[Ric Bagoly]

I agree, Pleasence should definitely be in this.

 

[Justin_S]

I completely agree as well, and that is why I am officially seconding Donald Pleasence.

 

[Dome Vongvises]

Everything duly noted. Give me a sec to update.

 

[ChuckDeLa]

I'll second Capra.

 

[Walt Riarson]

I'll second Mario Bava.

 

[JohnRice]

Interesting idea. We'll see where it goes.
I nominate Fritz Lang.
Someone should consider Sergei Eisenstein.

 

[Dome Vongvises]

Great, keep them coming. I'm updating the list.

I actually thought about nominating Andre the Giant.

Fritz Lang

 

[JohnRice]

We either need more participants or more noms and seconds, I think.....
