Directors The Foreign Film Draft (1 Viewer)

[Vickie_M]

I hadn't realized that English-language films were eligible. I have a WHOLE BUNCH of English, Scottish, Irish and Australian films I could choose! Heck, I could go over 20 in that case.


Ratcatcher is a really really good movie. I saw it at the Chicago International Film Festival in 1999, when Lynne Ramsay was there and won Best Director for it. I like it much better than Morvern Callar.

They shouldn't be. It was agreed at the beginning that this draft would be non-English films only.

I wouldn't have bothered participating otherwise. :p)

Next Up:
Rain
George
Brook

 

[Rain]

Actually, Cary, you are up.

As posted by the tourney master earlier in the thread:

Rain, I meant foreign language films.

So, looks like Ratcatcher is out...you gotta pick something else.

:p)

 

[Justin_S]

Yeah, if RATCATCHER isn't foreign language (I haven't seen it), I guess you should pick again, unless of course, its a dubbed film, as those are eligible.

We'll go to 12 only since 14 seems too much, and I don't have any problems with controversy, George. If you don't want to go to 12 though, you can stop at 10 like Scott said people can do in the Dream Girl draft and it won't be held against you in the voting or anything.

I've asked Justin if films fromt he UK were allowed. He respond saying any country except for Canada. Justin, need a ruling from you, does Ratcatcher qualify?

BTW Rain, it's your pick in Music

 

[Rain]

I think he just made the rules clear.

:p)

Pick again so I can log off.

 

[Cary T]

No problem :p)

I'll pick Talk to Her.

Rain, your pick in Music.
