[SteveGon]

Matt Pelham, I hate you. :frowning:

 

[Steeve Bergeron]

Poor SteveGon, his beloved The Third Man has been taken by someone else.

 

[SteveGon]

That's okay, I'll take Amelie. :p)

 

[Matt Pelham]

You mean MY beloved Third Man?

 

[Steeve Bergeron]

That's okay, I'll take Amelie.

No, you won't!

 

[SteveGon]

Matt, it's MY beloved TTM and don't you forget it.

No, you won't!

And why not? I do believe I'm up before you are again. Heh heh heh...

 

[Steeve Bergeron]

And why not?

Because I know you'll pick something else.

 

[Matt Pelham]

Anticipating other members picks is an essential strategy if you want to build a good list.
The Third Man isn't my favorite movie (it's # 4 to be exact), but I knew it probably had the highest chance of being snagged in the first 1 or 2 rounds so I grabbed it while I had the chance. Anything goes in the HTF draft!

 

[Jan H]

Lawrence of Arabia - since Rob Tomlin's not in the first round. Otherwise, my house might get fire-bombed!

 

[SteveGon]

Otherwise, my house might get fire-bombed!

Hmmmm, that gives me an idea!

 

[SteveGon]

Well, I know Brian has emailed Scott with his pick so George is up...

 

[george kaplan]

I think I need to wait for it to be announced though, otherwise I might pick the same film.

 

[Scott Weinberg]

Brian's pick is The Princess Bride. Thanks for waiting, George! You're up!
(I'll be gone most of this afternoon...)

 

[george kaplan]

Well so far you bastards have stolen 7 of my top 100. :frowning: But at least you left me my number 1.
The Apartment.
You're up Rich.

 

[Rich Romero]

Dawn of the Dead

 

[Scott Weinberg]

SteveGon's pick is Seven Samurai.
My pick is Fight Club.
And here are the Round 1 results:
1. Rain - 2001: A Space Odyssey
2. Justin - Requiem for a Dream
3. Matt - The Godfather
4. Steeve - The Empire Strikes Back
5. Evan - Raiders of the Lost Ark
6. Andrew - Citizen Kane
7. John - Miller's Crossing
8. Andy - Dark City
9. Elizabeth - The Deer Hunter
10. Matt P. - The Third Man
11. Jan - Lawrence of Arabia
12. Brian - The Princess Bride
13. George - The Apartment
14. Rich - Dawn of the Dead
15. Steve - Seven Samurai
16. Scott - Fight Club
Interesting notes:
Where are all the comedies??
Did anyone temporarily bypass their own personal favorites, secure in the knowledge that they would still be available in later rounds?
Did anyone steal your pick? (Andy took mine!) :frowning:
--Oh yeah! Since we decided to go up-to-down and then down-to-up, that means I get to start Round 2.
I may break some hearts here, but my pick will be The Fellowship of the Ring.
The draft order for Round 2:
Scott
Steve
Rich
George
Brian
Jan
Matt P.
Elizabeth
Andy
John
Andrew
Evan
Steeve
Matt S.
Justin
Rain
Let's continue.
If you guys would like to pre-pick, please send it to me via PM. If the movie is still remaining when your turn comes around, I'll announce it.
Steve's up next!

 

[Rob Tomlin]

Lawrence of Arabia - since Rob Tomlin's not in the first round. Otherwise, my house might get fire-bombed!

Jan- What do you mean *might*?

 

[Andrew_Sch]

I may break some hearts here, but my pick will be The Fellowship of the Ring.

my sense of security was quite false. :frowning: :frowning:

Hey my real team and my fantasy team both got their asses kicked today and my favorite film was denied to me, so let's all keep piling it on like Mr. Rice!!!!
