[Poxy Von Sinister]

Well, I e-mailed this to Innocent, but I guess I beat him to it. WIth my final pick I take the greatest Western ever:

Scarab X for his 7th rounder selects GET SHORTY.

[A-Pathetic]

In an attempt to jumpstart this, I'm leapfrogging Devilf (with a selection I'm sure I'm not taking from him). A film that I believe I love as no other person does.

STATE OF GRACE

[Imperator GAC]

THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY

[Dave Davis]

I will take John Woo's appropriately-titled

BULLET IN THE HEAD

[Blofeld]

THE GREEN MILE

Go, Murphy.

------------------
It's an Oscar CONTEST, not an Oscar POOL. It will cost you nothing, and you could win sexy treats! http://www.chud.com/board/ubbhtml/Forum24/HTML/000267.html

[This message has been edited by Carl Cunningham (edited 03-12-2001).]

[Innocent X]

My take on the Rocky films is that they get better, each film, from one to 4. 5 is not so good.

8MenOut already tooken.

Go:

13. Smilin' Jack Ruby
14. TrippingBillie
15. Seahawk
16. Esdee
18. Nick Nunziata


[This message has been edited by Innocent X (edited 03-09-2001).]

[trippingbillie41]

Mock me for this pick and face evisceration. I choose...

THE FOX AND THE HOUND

I win!

[Esdee]

SCHOOL DAZE

[Smilin' Jack Ruby]

For my 10th and final pick, I choose my the movie that is my religion:

FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE FINAL CHAPTER

Yeah, the title is completely wrong, but you can't go wrong with Crispin Glover scoring the hottie.

[This message has been edited by Smilin' Jack Ruby (edited 03-09-2001).]

[Seahawk]

9th Round pick

The Ghost and the Darkness

10th Round pick

Cutthroat Island

------------------
"Hold onta' ya' butts!'

[Nick Nunziata]

Since THE CHOSEN has not been loved in a while I didn't realize Steve's pick of EIGHT MEN OUT was raped. Instead he chooses FORBIDDEN PLANET.

[Adam McAllister]

I hate to do this, but I have to jump ahead 2 spaces since this might be the last time I see a PC for a few days... So, if it is a problem, feel free to masturbate.

I will close out with THE STING, unless of course it was already choosen and I missed it with that DAMN list! If it is, I will instruct LowShot who to kill off.

[Nick Nunziata]

My last pick is: DINER

Nick's FINAL list:

The Thing.
LA Confidential.
JFK.
Trainspotting.
From Russia With Love.
Swingers.
The Fisher King.
Field of Dreams.
The Ref.
Diner.

[flint]

I'll have my favourite Manga.

NINJA SCROLL.

[The Duke]

At the pace Round 10 is moving at, I'll be able to select Episode 2 by the time my turn comes around.

[TheOutlawTorn]

Fuck this, I'm going. I am picking a movie that I have never seen, and sadly, probably will not get to see for a while. All of my other picks have been horror movies, and I think that my round 10 pick is going to put a sizeable dent in the horror community. I am placing more faith in this movie than any other in my life.

Rob Zombie's HOUSE OF 1,000 CORPSES.

Well, here's hoping that it's not ass.

[Innocent X]

WALL STREET.

My List:
1. Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction
2. Sam Raimi's Darkman
3. Robert Zemeckis' Back to the Future
4. Hoosiers
5. Christopher Nolan's Memento
6. Spike Lee's Do The Right Thing
7. Kathryn Bigelow's Point Break
8. Searching for Bobby Fischer
9. Fletch
10. Oliver Stone's Wall Street

[DJ Dylan]

my round 9ine pick is THE BOILER ROOM,my round 10 pick is THE JACKAL.uhh,im too lazy to write out my whole list,i dont even know what i picked anymore.

------------------
"If you can take my bag from my kung-fu grip, you can have it, otherwise, step off, bitch."

...And now for something completely different!

[Micah Robinson]

Screw it, I'm going.

1) Once Upon a Time in the West
2) Highlander
3) Glengarry Glen Ross
4) The Iron Giant
5) Romeo is Bleeding
6) Stargate
7) The Shadow
8) Cape Fear
9) Fist of the North Star

And my last pick is......

The Van Damage/Rodman masterpiece Double Team. Because movies that have a finale involving coliseums, tigers, infants and landmines don't get any better than this.

[The Duke]

My last pick is:

FACE-OFF.

Why is everybody re-capping their picks? Isn't there another thread for that already?

[Micah Robinson]

Since "The Chosen" has been chosen to be sent into oblivion, this is the best way for everyone to know what's been picked.

[raoul duke]

I take the Deer Hunter

1. Aliens
2. Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas
3. Apocalypse Now
4. From Dusk Till Dawn
5. Hard Boiled
6. The Blues Brothers
7. Dirty Harry
8. Ed Wood
9. Day of the Jackal (1973)
10. The Deer Hunter

Just changing Fargo to the Deer Hunter.

------------------
and a voice was screaming: Holy Jesus! What are these damn animals

[This message has been edited by raoul duke (edited 03-13-2001).]

[Forklift81]

My number ten is AKIRA, giving me complete mastery of animated films.

[Nick Nunziata]

Daniel picked it and then cheated and changed it to Donnie Brasco when nobody was looking. You can have Fargo.

[Neil Bung]

I have no idea where I am in the order anymore, but this round is going on its third day, so I figure it's safe. My picks up to this point:

1) Almost Famous - I knew it would be one of my favorite movies before Crowe even started filming it. When I saw it, it more than lived up to my expectations.

2) This is Spinal Tap - If you've ever been in a band, you understand, and you probably know the lines by heart.

3) True Romance - Tarantino should let other directors film more of his scripts. The story deserved a mainstream, glossy production and it got it.

4) High Fidelity - If you don't relate to Cusack's character, you know someone who does. Despite the English to American transition, a perfect adaptation, too.

5) Singles - That Crowe dialogue and that soundtrack. And I never realized how great Bridget Fonda is in it until I watched it again the other day.

6) The Commitments - Great music wonderfully recreated. And it's an accurate portrayal of a band being built from the ground up and disintegrating. Almost Famous is the dream, but the Commitments is probably closer to the reality.

7) The Apartment - The partial inspiration for American Beauty and Jerry Maguire (according to Mendes and Crowe), and a brilliantly underplayed performance by Jack Lemmon. I finally understood why people liked Shirley Maclaine when I saw this.

8) Some Like It Hot - More great Lemmon moments (in drag, no less), plus Marilyn Monroe and one of the funniest final lines in movie history.

9) South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut - From "Uncle Fucka" on, I never laughed as hard and as often as when I saw this for the first time.

Given the music and comedy slant, my list needs something wacked out for balance. And wacked out my last pick certainly is...

10) SANTA SANGRE -

Seriously crazy stuff (Down Syndrome patients on acid, an elephant funeral, castration by acid burn) that threatens to go off into purely visual shock territory, but manages to keep it all together plot-wise.

[LeglessDog]

that's it, I'm going- DUCK SOUP for my tenth and final...

[flyers130]

Sorry for going now, but I won't be here Monday, so this is my last shot. Plus, this round is taking forever and this is just a favorite flick from my childhood that I don't think has or will be taken:

THE SANDLOT

My complete list:
1) Schindler's List
2) The Truman Show
3) Boogie Nights
4) Toy Story 2
5) Toy Story
6) One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
7) Philadelphia
8) The Sixth Sense
9) Man on the Moon
10) The Sandlot

[Widgett]

Jesus, I thought I put my tenth one in. I must've hallucinated it.

MURDER BY DEATH

=Widge

[Innocent X]

Fargo was taken. Scarab X, RD NINE. Kinda getting the feeling people aren't watching what is getting chosen anymore.

MICKEY KNOX takes CLUELESS and JUICE.

SCARAB X takes BOTTLE ROCKET and BATMAN.

Both have only Round 10 selections remaining.

[Jason Pollock]

Figure it's close enough, I'm not steppin' on any toes, and I'm not that far outta' turn, so for my final selection, I take the Legendary American Classic-

RUDY RAY MOORE'S THE AVENGING DISCO GODFATHER.

"Where IS Bucky-and WHAT HAS he HAD?!"

"Put yo' WEIGHT ON IT!!"

[BigRoundSailor]

I'm not going to be available for the rest of the night, so I'll just do this now. I'm going for a sentimental pick for Round 10. It was the last movie I saw with Nick and everyone before I moved out of Atlanta. As a film, it's pants, but it's fun.

I choose CONGO.

[raoul duke]

Has anybody taken THE DEER HUNTER? If not, it's mine.

------------------
and a voice was screaming: Holy Jesus! What are these damn animals

[Hellblazer]

Yeah, so me busting 1,000 posts this weekend was an idle threat. Shit came up. Eat it, Urkel. Anyway, my tenth round pick is by far John Singleton's best work,

BOYZ N THE HOOD.

So, my Movie Draft list:

1) Tombstone
2) Robocop
3) The Crow

Hellblazer

I'll wait. Given my spot, I'd like the honor of picking the very last selection in the draft.

[Innocent X]

Shit, Cosmic sorry. I was using the same list as last time I forgot you. You were clipped off somehow. You can go now, or you can wait like you said you wanted. The Mr.Irrelevant choice is yours.
