Blade Runner for sure.

I haven't seen that cut? Samie, which one is that?

[Samie]

Fuck all wrong with that....could be worse....could be able to quote lines from movies starring Van Damme. Fuckin wools! 

YOU ARE NOT A TANAKA!

[Djozer]

AWOL.

That the one where he's in the Foreign Legion and has to go do underground fighting? Admittedly the underground fighting bit could describe pretty much any of his oeuvre. Class film though.

Yup that’s the one

[dave 5516]

Sorry we'll move onto your favorite, Steven Seagal.

That's another no talent c*nt!

I'm more of a Sammo Kan-Bo  Hung fan.

[dave 5516]

Er......what?

[red mongoose]

Sorry lads, I fell asleep after work - PM-ing Pete now. 

[Crosby Nick]

Did someone pick while you were asleep?

[Samie]

Er......what?

 

Bloodsport, grandad.

Work, is it....

[red mongoose]

Mongoose is tending to his ladyboy's in backstreet Bangkok so it might be a while.

You should see what a mixed bag Tinder is here.    Still, it gets the job done, as they say.

Fascinating creatures. They look like a lady, but really it's a man.

[dave 5516]

Bloodsport, grandad. 

It's my obvious misfortune to have missed that classic movie, oh well.

I can't just throw my nuts on a bicycle at the drop of a hat, like some people. I need to build up my energies. And I wasn't playing games, granddad

Red Mongoose is essentially Michael.

[tubby]

If I pick a black and white non-English film with a female lead, does that mean I've covered all the bases or do they need to be separate films?

Some people have earned the right to 7 week holidays in Spain and France.....Hoi polloi, such as yourself...not so much.

[Buck Pete]

Nice choice of GIF Red Mongoose.

Go-Go Yubari. She featured in my movie Villains draft team we did on here a while back.

There's rules attached to this....

She was in one of my failed draft squads as well 

[Djozer]

That Tarantino's a popular lad.

[Samie]

Reservoir Dogs is better.

[dave 5516]

Reservoir Dogs is better.

And Jackie Brown is his best work to date.

[Djozer]

Toss up between Pulp Fiction and Django, for me. Liked the Hateful 8 too.

[Buck Pete]

We are not signing Naby Keita

JCVD on VHS holds so much nostalgia for me. For some reason my parents thought it was wholesome family entertainment. 

[Sheer Magnetism]

Looks like this one's going to be more conventional than the bands draft. In the meantime, I'm waiting for someone to pick Persepolis and cover every pre-condition simultaneously.

[Buck Pete]

mmmh wouldn't be so sure about that.

Trust me there are some yawn-fests to come.

[Betty Blue]

I think that's always going to happen. I'm not sure what it is, but somehow music can be totally off the wall and yet appeal to the masses still. I'm not sure the same can be said of film.

[Chakan]

Always love a bit of Tarantino.

[Buck Pete]

I've PM'd Lastrador BTW.

[Betty Blue]

What constitutes a female lead? I don't think going by billing is helpful, as often that's simply the most well known actor or just the man! I can think of one in particular where the guy is top billed, but the woman narrates the film and is really an equal lead if not greater.

[Samie]

Either top billing and/or the movie centre's around her and her actions.  Even ensemble movies have the "main" guy or girl.

Hmmm it's a tough one.

Like I say, top billing is a load of shite in a male dominated/star obsessed film industry.

[Samie]

Like I say, top billing is a load of shite in a male dominated/star obsessed film industry.

Yeah but then it's up to you to pick CLEAR female lead movies.

[Chakan]

Like I say, top billing is a load of shite in a male dominated/star obsessed film industry.

But then again I can't think of strong female lead movies where the male clearly becomes the focus of the movie.

[Betty Blue]

Yeah but then it's up to you to pick CLEAR female lead movies.

I guess it's going to be up to me/my alter ego to adjudicate this!

[Klippity Klopp]

If you pick a black & white film, which is non English speaking and it has a female lead are you killing three birds with one stone?
