1990-1999 Best Movies Draft
I will start the thread to guarantee myself a spot. Caddyshack
I have PM'd Bonsaltron, the creator of the previous thread and directed him to this thread. He can take over if he wants or someone else can. I also don't mind organizing either.
Figure we will begin the draft as soon as we have enough interest.
Current Interest List
Please see close to the most recent post for updated interest list.
We will start ASAP.
confirm your interest in this thread, find the most recent list (usually one of the newer posts) and add your name to it, so every new post is the updated interest list. If you are already on the list, copy the list and bold your name to confirm.
If you are already on the list, it means you expressed interest previously.
As soon as we get 15ish confirms in this thread, we can begin making arrangements to start. It would also be nice to give everyone from the last draft a chance to sign up for this draft.
Rules copied from old thread
The concept is simple: 10-20 people agree to hold a draft where one tries to pick an assortment of the previous decade's best movies. Selections will be based on quality, as well as genre diversification. When it's your turn and you pick a movie, it'd be nice to do a bit of a writeup/review of the movie and why you picked it.
Essentially it's just a nice way to come together and debate which movie is better than what, as well as get some recommendations for those one hasn't seen.
Example from old thread
here's a fake draft pick:
Pick #1 -
Spoiler
I picked this movie because Bill Murray, Chevy Chase and Rodney Dangerfield totally leave their mark in shtick comedy with nearly every scene, every punchline. Calamity on a luxurious country club with all different characters hilariously doing their part in the chaos, all while being seen from a young high school boy named Danny who's having a perverted 'coming of age' tale. Nudity, poop in the pool and "Spalding!" make this an easy #1 overall pick for me.

6th round pick:
Hard Boiled, John Woo, 1992
Yes, T2 and The Matrix are both great, but THIS is the best action movie of the 90s. John Woo, Chow Yun Fat, and thousands upon thousands of rounds of ammunition. Best action movie, best buddy movie, best stunts, best everything.
Here's the teahouse shootout:

And that's in the beginning of the movie!
After that, you've got a great Hong Kong crime thriller. The finale in the hospital has to be seen to be believed. No one does
I started thinking about this post while ruminating on Infernal Affairs while trying to write up a Johnnie To Flick so I said to myself, GO AHEAD AND BUMP THIS WRITE-UP OF AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE.

If you can't spot the connections, just thinks about doing slammers.
How did I miss this draft?

Whenever one of these old draft threads gets bumped I find myself spending way too much time going through them 😀 These drafts are so much fun and still hold up for rereads years later, Except all of the broken picture links make me sad.

I do the same thing (just to see how wrong everyone was; just kidding).
