Oh Nicholls, you fucker. 

It wouldn't have lasted

[Lastrador]

Yeah, I know. He's still a fucker though.

There are tonnes of good horror films in the 80s. It was the peak of the horror/slasher genre.

Oh fuck off VBG! I was going to pick Raging Bull.

[Musketeer Gripweed]

Oh fuck off VBG! I was going to pick Raging Bull.

No you weren't. It was never getting back to you.

[vivabobbygraham]

Oh fuck off VBG! I was going to pick Raging Bull.

I knew that.

Should've picked it first but thought none of you dickheads care about a Boxing biography, even though it's a great film.

I only watched it for the first time a few years ago. I didn't fancy a black and white movie about boxing at all, didn't think it was for me. One of the best films ever made, and I watch it regularly now.

I am the only one who still watches old movies all the time these days now that we all have Netflix and shit?

[Samie]

I still watch it.

I have a working VHS Cassette player as well and watch films from that era that my dad/uncles family bought or recorded on.

Much more than a boxing movie, mate. It's a cinematic masterpiece. Pesci and De Niro double act debut. Cathy Moriarty stunning and nearly steals it. De Niro transformation is truly screen acting at its very best. Can't fault it. Many reckon it's Scorcese best film. While I don't necessarily agree with that, it's pretty fucking close

[Chakan]

To call raging bull just a boxing movie, is about the most scandalous thing i've read here.

[Samie]

I put it in the simplest of terms for you clowns expecting none of you to know who Jake Le Motta is. I think I was harsh on you fuckers. 

[NICHOLLS]

We all know what the next pick is

You don't have to pander to the uncultured, Andy's not playing. 

[Chakan]

God can you imagine the picks if Andy was playing...

[Betty Blue]

We all know what the next pick is 

If you could tell me that would be great, I'm having a seizure trying to pick a favourite right now 

[Hazell]

I won't be online tomorrow until the early afternoon, can I leave my next pick (once I figure out what it is) with someone?

[Crosby Nick]

I’m on holiday this week. Not made any kind of list and doing this on the hoof. Apologies in advance to Hazell for having to PM me to tell me my choice has already been picked, or is ineligible.

[Betty Blue]

That was tough. Passed up a much more populist pick for what I think is a far better film. Got to be true to myself and pick my favourites 

[Chakan]

Damnit Betty!

brilliant film, another one to scratch off my list of picks!

[Betty Blue]

Damnit Betty!

You already broke my heart with the Princess Bride pick! Call this revenge

I have a feeling we're going to do that thing again where we constantly steal each other's picks throughout the draft

Haha ok fairy nuff.

[Buck Pete]

Oh wow

Clarence Boddiker and Frank Booth in his first two picks

I like the cut of your jib SM.

[El Lobo]

Straight Story was from the 90s chaps, come on 

[Sheer Magnetism]

We're up to Hazell now, right?

[Chakan]

Well it depends if someone messaged Musk, I mean betty missed his go, so if Musk didn't get notified I would say he gets a chance to go.

[Betty Blue]

Sorry, I'm in the middle of nowhere. Somehow a dead zone for reception. Should've sent my pick to someone before I left, my bad.

Can someone PM Musk. Don't know how long my reception will last.

[Chakan]

*sigh i'm just gonna resign myself to every movie that gets picked I want.

I'll message Musk

[Samie]

Hello Pete mate, should've joined in. See you in the 70's or 00's.   

[Chakan]

Now we're up to Hazell

[Musketeer Gripweed]

Now we're up to Hazell

Hazell is out of action at the moment. I've messaged VBG.

[Chakan]

Did Hazell leave his picks with anyone?

[vivabobbygraham]

I've gone and messaged nicholls

[Chakan]

Guys can we pause quickly. We need to make sure Hazell hasn't left his picks with anyone.

[Musketeer Gripweed]

He's not. He said he will pick later.

[Hazell]

I haven't left them with anyone (no one took up my offer ) but I'll pick in a bit.

[Chakan]

Ugh sorry bud, I didn't see the message. You can leave your picks with me from now on. I'm usually always online in form or another.

[Hazell]

Thanks mate, I'm back now so should be ok
