Oh I'm sorry, Did I Break Your Conversation........Well Allow Me A Movie Thread by S&T

[calibeebee]

For my first Utility pick... one of the greatest movies (not just animated) of all-time:

Even if you don't like anime you NEED to watch this movie. It's ******* phenomenal.


Spirited Away.

just saw this in theaters last week. Great film but to be honest, I liked Howls Moving Castle a lot more. a little harder hitting of a social commentary And I liked the animation a lil more.

 

[Christian Pulisic]

For my last pick in this incredible draft, I had to go with a war flick. There's a top 3 in regards to Vietnam flicks (imo) and you can't go wrong with any of them.

This one is my personal favorite:

Platoon.

Honestly you can't go wrong with any of the Studio Ghibli flicks. I was bouncing between three of them with that pick and wouldn't have been upset taking any of em.

[danger style]

Continuing on in my journey of drafting films that most of the judges havent seen, I have to give a shoutout to Anime cinema for my last pick

MILLENIUM ACTRESS - Utility

Satoshi Kon's epic tribute to the history of Japanese cinema and best work in his tragically short career.

Here's a great video from Every Frame a Painting on his genius

[danger style]

For my Western, I'll go brand new, gimme Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

danger style is up and then we head to the last round.

mronegative you seeing this?!

Could have sworn CP was going at us for calling OUATIH a western in the last draft and NOW he takes it in said category himself

"It was all good just a week ago..."

 

[jpzx]

With my last pick, in the Thriller category, I will select one of the best movies of all-time:

Great pick. I forget about how awesome this movie is.

I think him picking that movie as a Western is what caused NT to crash last night...

 

[danger style]

Captain Marvel being taken is perhaps more wild than the Space Jam pick

 

[getback]

Wrong thread.

[mronegative]

For my last pick in Comics, I choose a graphic novel adaptation that reminds us all that Death is the Road to Awe.

Thank you C CP1708 for holding this space

Damn NT being down really set this draft back

Before any next draft, a lot of yall need to watch some classic westerns. If not might as well omit the category from future drafts. Like less than 12 get made every decade now. Not like it's heyday.

Depends how fast you can cycle through the classic Nic Cage films, I guess.


We need a "Nicholas Cage" category. We need to extend this draft one more round. Everyone drafts one CageGod movie. He's got more than enough films that we can do this.

Lets do it

I was seriously considering Face/Off for action.

Interesting since The Fountain was a script first, got shut down and so Darren made it a graphic novel. Then later got to make the movie with a smaller budget.

The director, John Woo, is the god of the gunfights. I was thinking of one or two of his other movies for action too.

I could tell Westerns were going to slip after a few rounds so I knew by my last pick something great would be there.
Outlaw Josey Wales

Hard Boiled

Hard Boiled

YUP

hell just for this one scene alone. One shot baby ( mronegative )



A Better Tomorrow and The Killer were the other ones I wanted.

I also wanted to fit in a Jackie Chan or Jet Li film on my team but i didnt want to overload with too many Asian films

I was actually even more seriously considering The Killer for crime or action.

And after a while next to action it just said Jackie Chan Just could not settle on what was the best Jackie movie. Then No realized Rambo wasn't taken and went with that.

Then after I thought of another movie and wanted to change my mind but have decided not to since then.

Jackie for me would have been Police Story 1 or Drunken Master 2
