[Lew Crippen]

Magnolia (??)

Toy Story 2 (??)

You are on safe ground with Magnolia, Vicki. It’s all within 24 hours. I may not recall correctly, but I think that the time span for ]]}Toy Story 2[/i] is more than 24 hours. Doesn’t it take some time for the repairs? Or is this all in a flashback?

 

[Jan H]

Nominate The Killing
Second Die Hard

 

[george kaplan]

I'll second

Rope

The Trouble with Harry

 

[ErikG]

Nominate:
The Breakfast Club
Escape From New York
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Second:
Evil Dead II
Texas Chainsaw Massacre

 

[Elizabeth S]

I'll use up my seconds on:

Go
Dog Day Afternoon

 

[Lew Crippen]

I can’t for the life of me figure out how the Criterion Playtime can bring near three figure prices on the usual, suspect marketplaces and not even get a second in this tourney.

Come on somewone, this is a brilliant film. It at least ought to get a nod.

 

[george kaplan]

Well Lew, I've used up all my seconds. But if you want to undo one of your seconds and second one of the films I seconded, I'll use that second for Playtime.

 

[Rob Tomlin]

Second The Breakfast Club.
Good call Erik!

 

[Cary T]

Nominate:
The Thing (1982)
Clerks
From Dusk Till Dawn
Second:
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Magnolia

 

[Ric Bagoly]

Ill Second-
Escape From New York
It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World
From Dusk Till Dawn

 

[Lew Crippen]

Well Lew, I've used up all my seconds. But if you want to undo one of your seconds and second one of the films I seconded, I'll use that second for Playtime.

Well, I'll take this under advisement, George. But first, I’ll lobby Jason for a few more noms or seconds.
Jason—some more noms & seconds, please!
I presume that you noticed I’ve already used a second on The Lady Vanishes. I presume that you would not care for me to back out this second—not that I would.

 

[george kaplan]

Lew,
Obviously I was thinking of one of your other two.

 

[Angelo.M]

Question:
Does Alien take place in one day? If so, I'll nominate it.
I'd also nominate Cube, but I can't recall if this takes place in one continuous period in which the characters never sleep (and what is a 'day' in the Cube, anyway?).
--AM

 

[Angelo.M]

It's been a while, but what about The Taking of Pelham One Two Three...
--AM

 

[Tommy G]

I'll use up more of mine:
Nomination:
The Wizard of Oz (I think this qualifies)
Second:
12 Angry Men

 

[george kaplan]

Although it's not easy to tell, The Wizard of Oz takes place over many, many days.

 

[Brian Lawrence]

I'll nominate Die Hard ooops :b
I'll second
-Picnic at Hanging Rock
-High Noon

 

[Angelo.M]

Seconds:

• Twelve Angry Men
• High Noon

-AM

 

[Tommy G]

George, I thought about that as well but I thought it might qualify from the standpoint that the whole time over the rainbow is really a dream. I guess we'll let Jason be the judge.
