33rd Hall of Fame

jiraffejustin nominated Shoplifters, a very worthy film. I nominated There Will Be Blood - one of my "going for the win" efforts. I do feel guilty though, that the film I nominated while hosting won. (But happy too.)

__________________

Had TWBB as the frontrunner as soon as the nominations were announced. Started as my fav and nothing knocked it off the throne although Aftersun, my number 2 and the biggest surprise of this HoF, really gave it a run. Had Shoplifters at 5.

Thanks. There was many a time I thought I wouldn't make it - but I stuck it out, and I'm glad I did.

My votes :

1 - There Will Be Blood
2 - A Man For All Seasons
3 - Aftersun
4 - Beau Travail
5 - Shoplifters
6 - The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
7 - Mona Lisa
8 - The Bank Job
9 - God's Little Acre - sorry CR! I enjoyed watching it though.

This HoF might have started out rocky but that was one of the most funnest reveals in a long time...I'm thinking Sunday early evening was a good time to do this.

My ballot. 22 points off from the actual results if I added that correctly.

1 The Treasure of the Sierra Madre - 3rd place
2 A Man For All Seasons - 5h place
3 Shoplifters - 2nd place
4 God's Little Acre - 8th place
5 Beau Travail - 6th place
6 There Will Be Blood - 1st place
7 Mona Lisa - 7th place
8 The Bank Job - 8th place
9 Aftersun - 3rd place

I had that happen in, I think, the 17th with Road To Perdition.

Shoplifters would have been a cool winner, but There Will Be Blood needed to be in the hall of fame, so I'm glad it's there. I voted honestly, so I had it as my #1. Of the nine films that made it to the end, this was pretty stacked. The only film I really disliked was The Bank Job, but even that was more like 5/10 instead of something much worse.

My ballot:

1. There Will Be Blood
2. Shoplifters
3. Aftersun
4. The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
5. God's Little Acre
6. Beau Travail
7. Mona Lisa
8. A Man For All Seasons
9. The Bank Job

TWBB is classic, remember seeing it in theater with my buddy who was a huge PTA fan. I lost him back in 2013 to addiction but he loved him some PTA and this movie. Was thinking Shoplifters was going for the upset there but oh well.


I'll try to find my ballot and post.

ballot:

01 a man for all seasons
02 the treasure of the sierra madre
03 beau travail
04 aftersun
05 there will be blood
06 mona lisa
07 god's little acre
08 shoplifters
09 the bank job

Me: Hey, let me check this HoF thread I hadn't read in months...

Let's do this again!

I remember you guys passing around some ideas to possibly shake things up a bit.

Yeah Raul and I made some post along those lines a few pages back. Cool if you want to try something different, I'm all for it. But if it's really different let's not call it the 34th HoF, but instead call it whatever you want. The reason is the main HoF has always been traditionally done one way and so if it's totally differentm then go with some other name for it, like Cricket did with the Personal Recommendation HoF.

I'm good with another old fashioned one, it was just an idea for the future.

Also, PTA has become another multi winning director, joining Spielberg, Tarantino, Wilder and Hitchcock. Hitchcock has 3 wins.

1. There Will Be Blood
2. Aftersun
3. Treasure of the Sierra Madre
4. Mona Lisa
5. Shoplifters
6. A Man for All Seasons
7. The Bank Job
8. Beau Travail
9. God's Little Acre

Thank you for hosting Phoenix and congrats on the win! Whoever was runner up, who cares, the rest of us are losers and lowlifes!

I'm up for starting a personal rec HoF in the next couple weeks if nobody objects.

Have been doing some stats collecting for these hof. This is the 4th win for the 2000's.

My final tally:


1. There Will Be Blood
2. Aftersun
3. A Man For All Seasons
4. The Bank Job
5. Shoplifters
6. Mona Lisa
7. The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
8. God's Little Acre
9. Beau Travail

The 2010's have 7 wins already.

The 1980's on the flip side have 46 nominations but only a single win for The Empire Strikes Back, which also shared it's win with another nominee.
