[Bill McA]

I'll nominate:

The Apple
Children of Heaven

I'll 2nd:

Shall We Dance

I'll 3rd:

Vive L'amour

Can we 2nd & 3rd our own nominations??

 

[MartinTeller]

Wouldn't that kind of defeat the purpose of 2nding and 3rding?

I'll third Tetsuo: The Iron Man. I hated it, but at least it's one I've seen

 

[Ted Lee]

2nd: kiki's delivery service.

heck, can i just auto-nominate anime?

 

[Angelo.M]

Ted:

Kiki has already been 2nd'ed. You can 3rd it.

(Can we have more nominations, please? :b )

 

[Jim_K]

yes. 2 more

I'll check back in tomorrow to see how we are. If we still don't have enough I'll fill in the rest.

 

[Ted Lee]

doh! if kiki's gotta be 3rded, then count me in.

 

[MartinTeller]

Just watched The Hole



Brilliant, hilarious, disturbing. So far, Ming-liang Tsai is 3 for 3 for me, and easily one of my top 4 or 5 directors working today. I have yet to see Vive L'Amour or Rebels of the Neon God, but they're on my Netflix queue. Hopefully I'll get a chance to see Good Bye Dragon Inn someday.

 

[Brook K]

Nominate
Goodbye South, Goodbye
God Of Cookery

 

[Bill McA]

I'll nominate:

A Moment of Innocence
Scorpio Nights

That's funny, Brook...I was about to go and see Kill Bill Vol. 1 again last weekend.

Listening to the soundtrack as I write this...

 

[Jim_K]

OK we need 4 more so the next 4 people get 1 automatic
