A couple others were very close for me, but these movies mean a lot to me. I highlighted my other faves in blue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BeenHereBefore 1,343 Posted May 26, 2022 I was looking at doing a 70's movie draft with the same format as the 80's, man that would really be tough and realized the 80's was a far better decade for movies and maybe the best ever. Everyone in this draft was awesome and did a great job! Thank you you guys and was a fun two weeks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paulinstl 295 Posted May 27, 2022 You guys put some serious effort in this and picked some great movies. My problem is that each roster has so many movies it's almost impossible to compare each person's draft. If you had half the amount of movies it would still be almost impossible. I think 10 to 12 would be much more representative of each individual's taste. Maybe that's just me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess it was designed to be fun for the participants, not so much for the voters to sort through the mess. Everybody picked great movies in the mandated categories, so for me to determine who had the best draft, it's gonna boil down to the Wild Card movies. Since they weren't confined by a specific genre, they might offer a clearer picture of their tastes. Every team has killer movies in each specific genre so it's hard to find a clear winner.
