5-Points 2,801 Posted April 10, 2018 Jaws- Horror. People stopped swimming. I was wondering how to classify this one. Horror seems to be the right category for it but it could also fit in action or maybe even drama. Either way, nice pick. That movie had a huge impact on people swimming in the ocean for many years.

5-Points 2,801 Posted April 10, 2018 And... as expected, the genre conundrum has already reared its head. There are plenty of movies that fit in multiple categories. I don't think it will be a problem. Any disputes can be settled by a simple majority vote. Volty is the tie breaker if necessary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herbivore 919 Posted April 10, 2018 I think it should be left up to the drafter. I agree, it has to be reasonable though. I don't think the matrix as a drama is acceptable. As Good As it Gets isn't a comedy. Etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,226 Posted April 11, 2018 my apologies, as i did not follow any of the setup for this and probably would have even participated.... but wouldnt it make more sense to have each movie drafted fit a category AND time period? as in, pick 1.11 could be a crime/gangster from the 70's and then you would be done for the crime/gangster category and have 1/2 70's slots filled. i actually thought this was the case due to the 16 spots for time periods and 16 categories, until I saw 5-points post above.

I'd thought about that. In the history draft, we'd had 144 rounds of pics which is about what this suggestion would entail. That draft took us five months. If I'm going to commish something that lasts five months, it'd be another history draft, I've been thinking US history. I'd love to do this history draft again if I can ever find the stamina to commish the d@mn thing again. I'm not sure I felt like asking these guys or myself to do that in the movie draft. 32 rounds is already pretty big. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nzoner 936 Posted April 11, 2018 1.10 Scarface - Crime/Gangster This brings up another question,should we list the year if it's a remake and can each film be drafted? I'm assuming 5P meant the Pacino film but the original B/W film is quite good as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm assuming 5P meant the Pacino film but the original B/W film is quite good as well. I wasn't aware of an earlier b/w Scarface, regardless, the point stands. If there's a remake or a re-used name, we can ask for a year if we need clarification as you suggest. And of course, each version can be drafted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 4,593 Posted April 11, 2018 2.3 - Patton - War . A very unique type of war movie about a unique man. The first time we really got an in depth look at one of our military Giants, and the fact that politics don't stop during war, they intensify. I was in 2nd Armor during the Gulf War. Our Class A uniforms had all the unit citations that Patton had won during WWII. Also, unique among all the other Army units, was that 2nd Armor didn't wear our unit crests on the left sleeve like every other unit. The left sleeve was empty. We wore our 2AD unit crests above the heart as per Patton's orders from way back in the day. I'm pretty sure 2nd Armor is gone now. We were in the process of deactivating the unit when I left, but it may just have been us in the (Forward) brigade in Germany. In the Gulf War, we [2AD(FWD)] fought with Big Red One out of Ft. Riley in Task Force Iron. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dain11279 933 Posted April 11, 2018 I might try to grab the early decade movies earlier in the draft as admittedly I've only seen a handful.
