[ErikG]

count me in

 

[Chris_Richard]

definitely in

 

[Jan H]

In!

 

[Bill McA]

I've never participated in any of these Drafts before...

Can I make this my first???

 

[Angelo.M]

Thanks for saving the spot. I'm so in that I'm out (of tourney #1) and in again.

 

[SteveGon]

Okay, we have our eight.

Damn, what should I go with for my first pick?

Eh, who am I kidding?

Aguirre: The Wrath of God

Up next:

Angelo
Lew
Zen

 

[Angelo.M]

raise the red lantern

 

[SteveGon]

Nice pick! :p)

 

[Angelo.M]

Thanks. And thanks for taking Gabriel Byrne in the other draft. He was on my list.

 

[Lew Crippen]

One question Steve. Foreign made or foreign language?

I just want to settle this before we get into films like the English Hitchcock’s (all English) and ones like Bridge over the River Kwai (English/U.S.)

 

[Lew Crippen]

La Grande Illusion

 

[SteveGon]

Lew, I don't think we need to stick entirely with foreign language films, but I would prefer to stay away from the Hitchcocks and films like The Road Warrior and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly - those films get enough exposure around here as it is. Besides, those are all too easy to pick - I say we make this more of a challenge. While my first pick is fairly well-known, some of my later picks will be more obscure - I'm going for diversity of theme and style with my list.

 

[SteveGon]

Up next:

Zen
Erik
Chris

 

[Lew Crippen]

I say we make this more of a challenge. While my first pick is fairly well-known, some of my later picks will be more obscure

 

[Lew Crippen]

I've sent you some picks, Steve so I won't hold things up.

 

[SteveGon]

Okay, we'll skip Zen - he can make his pick whenever.

Erik takes Seven Samurai

Next up:

Chris
Jan
Bill

Then back to me...

 

[Chris_Richard]

I might be taking this too early but I'll be kicking myself if someone else gets it:

Les Quarte Cents Coups
aka The 400 Blows

 

[Jan H]

8 1/2

 

[SteveGon]

Next up:

Bill McA
Me
Angelo

And Zen can make his pick at any time.
