GF Film Draft 2! Sign up to play & discussion thread

[The Golden Eel]

The main one that I kept thinking about picking was Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer but just kept thinking, nah, it's too bleak. Others were Day of the Dead, Hellraiser, The Fly and a few other more obscure ones. 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

I was really tempted to pop in some Hong Kong / Japanese films I like, but in the end I figured there might not be many fans of those.

 

If I were to pick one though, it'd be A Better Tomorrow II - this fan tribute might explain why. Vintage John Woo, perhaps not as stylish or slick as The Killer, but the end gunfight is about a dozen minutes of pure carnage that ranks amongst his best choreography.

I was thinking of Tron but I would have only picked it for the sake of the draft. I think it is fucking shit. 

 

Overboard would have been a next pick. Cracker that. 

[Sugar Ape]

Vice Versa is better than Big. Come at me.

Thanks for the confirmation, Stig. 

 

Judge Reinhold is one weird looking fucker nowadays though.

The Vanishing is cracker. Should have been all over that.

Nah, Freaky Friday (not 80s, obviously) > Vice Versa 

[Sugar Ape]

Freaky Friday is the worst out of the 3.

Looks like Steve McManaman's evil twin.

Are we all up for a 90s draft next?

[Sugar Ape]

I’m not bothered which. 70s,

90s and even 00s would be fine with me. Only one I wouldn’t like to do is 10s.

I'd struggle with 70s. 10s would be a shit show, Such a poor decade for movies.

[Tony Moanero]

I’d prefer the 70s, but would do 90s, probably even the 00s. 10s - no chance.

 

No categories or restrictions, just pick films that you like.

[The Golden Eel]

90s

70s and earlier

00s onwards

 

Are probably the three realistic options remaining in decades ones, I'd suggest.

 

Sorry, should clarify - that's for me personally. There's no chance I could participate in one soleyl for the 10s. 70s on its own might be a bit tight as well. 

[LF:D]

I’ll do the poll tomorrow. 

 

Anyone can do it if they cant wait until then.

Fuck off, its your game x

[Fowlers God]

I won’t be in a 70’s one but will be in a 90’s one

[Babb'sBurstNad]

I'm happy to go toe-to-toe on any decade, even '10s, for which I'll be able to select about three films, two of which I hated.

I'll have to give the next draft a miss, which is a shame as a 70s or 90s draft would have been fun.

You can't just leave the Drafia, you swore an oath.
