I voted for Samie because he was the only one of the three that put all his choices in the correct categories. Amadeus isn't a musical and The Wall is at least 90% pure live action and not a family film. A few of those others are in categories that are very borderline too.

Did Bobby sneakily go 60s and none of us noticed?

If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

As a person that considers themselves pretty well versed in cinema, I feel extremely embarrassed by what I'm to say, but unfortunately, I haven't seen any of the Musketeer films.

I think in both drafts the minimum amount of films on any list I had seen were about 3 or 4. It isn't like they are little-known films or anything, it's just a collection of complete blind spots for me, Once upon a time in America being the biggest one. Tbf., I think I have seen bits and pieces of Blues Brothers, Field of Dreams, and The Wall over the years, but I don't remember ever sitting through all of them. Shame on me.

So by default, my votes go for Samie and Bobby, but it isn't like they don't have some great movies on their stables.

Thief is one of my all-time favourite movies, it's cinema perfection. From the cinematography, the soundtrack, and the editing, to the script and performances. They are all top Michael Mann. My favourite from his.

Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of the best adventure movies ever made. Rain Man is excellent, and When Harry Met Sally is a really enjoyable movie. Have to give Samie credit for picking ”Įtame!, one of Almodovar's lesser-known films, but a very good one.

Bobby's list is really strong with very few, if any, weak sports.

Raging Bull is an excellent movie with one of the best black and white cinematography you're ever likely to find. As is Amadeus, as delightful as is harrowing. If you haven't seen it I recommend watching the theatrical cut first. While the director's cut of Amadeus adds some depth to the story, I think the theatrical flows a lot better.

Repo Man is one of the best left-field picks of the draft, especially at the stage Bobby picked it. Kuddos on that mate. Mississippi Burning is a very good movie, and Time bandit is a delight.

So excellent list altogheter.

Amadeus not a musical? What do you want, jazz hands and a fucking walk down with sequins? The whole film is about music! Really ridiculous comment that, Sheer.

Musical film is a film genre in which songs by the characters are interwoven into the narrative, sometimes accompanied by singing and dancing.

How many songs are there in Amadeus, Bobby? How do they communicate what's going on in the plot? Calling Amadeus a musical is like calling The Go-Between an epistolary novel because it has a letter in it.

But we are using Letterboxed to determine the genres. It doesn't make a lot of sense to punish people for game-planning what they will take by strategically using the categories that are listed on there. Letterboxed is accurate enough for our purposes - if we didn't use a single source like that, we would have chaos in here.

Who's being punished? I didn't say no one else should vote for Bobby or that the pick should be invalidated, I simply explained why I didn't vote for him. The category is Musicals, not Music, and Amadeus is no more a musical than Whiplash (which Letterboxd also includes in Music btw). But this is also why using an unreliable guide like Letterboxd instead of something more straightforward like Wikipedia is dumb.

The film's narrative is driven by the music, that's what makes a musical film. You're mistaking theatre with film you old West End Wendy. Get over yourself.

:lmao  Seriously Bobby, you're bitching about not getting a vote that would have made no difference to the final result. And the narrative of Amadeus isn't even driven by the individual pieces of music. They could have put Beethoven in there instead of Mozart and 95% of the audience wouldn't have known the difference.

Not bitching Sheer, just pulling you up on your ascertain that Amadeus was not a musical. I have no illusions about winning drafts. These film ones have been a joy to participate in from a personal pov. You tried to sully it. This is your version of a musical, mate





and not...

One of the great musical scenes of all time
