Re: Vote for a 1920's film!
I voted for Master as it's the only one I haven't seen, and it would finally give me impetus, but any of these are probably worth discussing

Freshman -- because it is the only film that features the adorable Jobyna Ralston.

It was a tie between Young Mr. Lincoln and Breaker Morant, so I removed my vote from the former, leaving us with our winner:Breaker Morant!

It's a Member of the Year vote!
Our current Member of the Year, Matrixschmatrix, has kindly agreed to curate a round (and on very unfair short notice, too. Thanks, matrix!).

Re: It's a Member of the Year vote!
This is admittedly a haphazard selection, but they're basically all movies I found myself liking far more than I expected and which I think would bear a fair amount of discussion in one aspect or another

I voted for Marienbad because conceivably it's still a film about which people usually have something to say

Re: It's a Member of the Year vote!
Robinson Crusoe on Mars is the only one I haven't seen, so I voted for it. If it wins, I promise to watch it and make at least one substantial post about it, if for some reason that encourages anyone else to vote for it.
I wrote about Marienbad recently in the PTA (or was it Phantom Thread?) thread, so I don't know if there's much more I want to say about it.

This poll was basically decided in the first hour it was up. McCabe and Mrs. Miller it is!

Exercise the Democratic rights your rulers have granted you!
Here, again, are five random champions set to compete for your pleasure. The winner will be showered with garlands and have statues erected in its honour. The losers shall be carried lifeless from the arena on beds made of their own broken weaponry. On whom will the fickle citizenry satisfy its bloodlust this half-month?

Re: Exercise the Democratic rights your rulers have granted
You’d think eclipse would come up more often in these random selections given that they’re 25-30% of the collection...

Re: Exercise the Democratic rights your rulers have granted
I believe there's actually like 180 Eclipse films in the pool along with 900-950 mainline titles, so it's more like 16% Eclipse. But we've been doing so many themed or curated rounds lately where they haven't had as much of a shot.

I guess my estimation was too high, which makes sense now that you say it.

Re: Exercise the Democratic rights your rulers have granted
Comparisons are dubious and ultimately pointless but Ugetsu may be, imo of course, a perfect film. Hard to pick with that level of artistry. So King of the Hill for me.

It was a tie between King of he Hill and Ugetsu. So I removed my vote from from former, leaving us with our winner: Ugetsu.
I think an eclipse-only round is a good idea. I'll see if we can do that next.Morbii wrote:What say I do the next round, eclipse-only?swo17 wrote:I believe there's actually like 180 Eclipse films in the pool along with 900-950 mainline titles, so it's more like 16% Eclipse.

I like Safety Last as much as much as the next guy, but is there really that much to discuss there?

Re: It's a 1920's vote!
In my case, it’s the only title of these that I own and haven’t seen yet, which is often how I pick these.
