Was it well regarded at the time?

Not particularly but I enjoyed it and then watched it years later and just giggled all the way through.

Some great choices so far, love Some Like It Hot and watched it again over Christmas. Will always hold it dearly as I remember first watching it in a hospital waiting room and it giving me some much needed light relief.

You normally get about two picks a day, sometimes three if you're lucky.

Go for it if you've got one.

And that's before you get on to the majestic cinematography or Ennio Morricone's career peak score, which gives every main character their own theme.

He did the same thing in The Mission.

Love Once Upon a Time in the West. Harmonica is definitely the most badass cowboy around

Musketeer Gripweed · « **Reply #167 on:** February 9, 2023, 09:53:29 am »

Whose turn is it to go. I am totally confused.

El Lobo · « **Reply #168 on:** February 9, 2023, 10:00:14 am »

It was me, then Betty, then I think Andy caught up so....telekon (or if we're skipping him since he hasnt picked yet, Buck Pete)

RobbieRedman · « **Reply #169 on:** February 9, 2023, 10:00:36 am »

Telekon is next but hasn't taken his first go yet so Buck Pete is up when the time is right

Yeah I got some PMs saying it was my go

I'm totally confused as well

Telekon 'Seeds of Confusion' not gone yet

Yeah, you missed your second pick yesterday, so this was to catch up. Did classycarra not PM you before?

Excellent pick by the way.

I did, think it just didn't fit Andy's timings (luckily didn't stop him picking his classic)

Haha all good. Just wanted to double check as sometimes newbies forget to.

El Lobo · « **Reply #174 on:** February 9, 2023, 10:52:09 am »

Ahhh Citizen Kane, Metropolis, that takes me back to Film and Media at Uni on a Thursday morning when we'd sleep through whatever was put on.

Yep definitely worth checking thanks - trying not to commit any faux pas!

Had a feeling you were hinting at French Connection for the crime pick Pete! Defo one of the best car (kind of) chases of all time and I reckon Gene Hackman is probably my favourite actor too

Young Frankensteins a great pick, so many quotable lines

Chakan · « **Reply #179 on:** February 9, 2023, 11:54:54 am »

Can't go wrong with a bit of Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder!

Coppola's run in the 70's is insane.

The Godfather, The Conversation, The Godfather Part II and Apocalypse Now.

All Classics!

Another FFC movie just missed by the skin of my teeth

Really wanted a John Cazale movie too but my own fault I guess. The Conversation was the last of his big 5 to be picked. Maybe i didn't want two Gene Hackman movies though.

Anyway, Top pick Samie.

probably saved yourself potential hassle on the hackman lead actor front at least mate (or does schneider count as the lead in FC?)

Samie · « **Reply #192 on:** February 9, 2023, 01:46:43 pm »

Hackman is the lead so Pete would be ineligible to get it.

Chakan · « **Reply #193 on:** February 9, 2023, 01:50:52 pm »

The quintessential western?

Btw are we still including Telekon? Hope he's ok.

Buck Pete · « **Reply #194 on:** February 9, 2023, 01:51:57 pm »

Ahhh sheeet

Didn't read the small print. That cancels out my other fav Mel Brooks and Clint movies i was considering as my wildcard.

* 3 different decades must be represented.
* Only 1 movie per director.
* No repeated lead actors.

Lastrador · « **Reply #195 on:** February 9, 2023, 02:04:04 pm »

Great pick Pete. Really hard to call which is my favourite Leone, but that one might just edge it.

Let's skip him for now. When (if?) he comes back, he can jump right back in. Hope he's ok too, was really looking forward to seeing what he would pick.
