Directors The 90s- A Draft (1 Viewer)

[Angelo.M]

Gonna mix it up a bit this draft...

bound

 

[Justin_S]

I'll take Cronenberg's brilliant adaptation:


CRASH

Erik is up, then Vickie, and Cary.

 

[ErikG]

I'll take Michael Mann's best ever:


An epic tale of crime and obsession and two men on opposite sides of the law......

 

[Justin_S]

Excellent pick, Erik, and one that was on my list.

Still waiting on Vickie, followed by Cary, Steve, and Bill.

 

[Cary T]

Don't know the time limit for this, but assuming a 12 hour limit, it's my turn.

Pulp Fiction

 

[SteveGon]

Argh. Hadn't really decided on my next pick. :b

I'll go with Babe: Pig in the City

 

[Bill McA]

P.T.Anderson's Magnolia

Damn, that's what I wanted to take Bill.

Don't I know it, Brook! :p)
I think we will be stealing from each other's dream lists more than a few times during this draft.

 

[Brook K]

Fargo

 

[Vickie_M]

Sorry guys.

Steve stole Babe: Pig in the City. :frowning: (pout big time, while admiring his obviously intelligent and discerning self)

My next pick:

L.A. Confidential (1997)

 

[Angelo.M]

Steve, you slipped Red right by me! I'll get 'ya sooner or later...

 

[Cary T]

Angelo's turn.

Then back to Justin.

 

[Angelo.M]

miller's crossing (1990)

 

[Justin_S]

I'll go with the other Cronenberg classic of the 90s:

eXistenZ


Erik is up.

 

[ErikG]

I thought for sure Justin would be taking this as his next selection (lucky for me he didn't ):



Gluttony * Greed * Sloth * Envy * Wrath * Pride * Lust


Seven deadly sins. Seven ways to die...

 

[Justin_S]

I thought for sure Justin would be taking this as his next selection

Why's that?

Anyhow, SE7EN is easily one of my top 10 favorite films of all time, but I'm trying to get some other favorites before choosing any of my top 10 films from the 90s. Bad strategy obviously.

 

[ErikG]

SE7EN is easily one of my top 10 favorite films of all time

Well there you have it.


Strategy is all important in these Drafts, it's what makes them fun. I'm going with my Top 10 as well, but I've got to get the ones I know others will be gunning for first. I'm quite pleased with being able to nab 3 in a row from my Top 5. My next selection will be another favorite, one equal to my first 3, but more of a hidden gem. And, I'm sure I could let it slide a few more rounds, but I'm not taking any chances.

 

[Vickie_M]

Out of many, one:


The Iron Giant (1999)

 

[Cary T]

Schindler's List

Steve goes.

 

[SteveGon]

I'll take Raise the Red Lantern.

 

[Bill McA]

Lars von Trier's Breaking the Waves

Brook is up!
