Time for a bit more fun... F = The Fifth Element (1997) - PG-13 Full of multidimensional entanglements, the fifth element follows the progression of an old struggle, good vs evil. It has plenty of action, comedy, an ambitious/optimistic look at the future, mingled with a melancolic undertone...

S has lots of movies on the chopping block for me. G, I, L, and P are also interesting.

I think Robin Williams is my favorite actor. He was such a vibrant being in each of his appearances, and successfully ran the gamut from slap stick hilarity to poignant soul. He is missed! D = Dead Poets Society (1989) - R Link #1 Link #2 Link #3 Link #4 Quotes...

I still haven't seen this one either. I need to climb out from under my rock...;)

Nice pick Capt! My 2018 list is quickly disappearing :). This film is memorable for the character ensemble, and of course Gene Hackman is brilliant as a low life but fun loving father.

I feel the need, the need for speed! T = Top Gun (1986) - PG This flick brings some action, psychological soul searching, friendship, romance, patriotism, rebellion, and dog fighting. It’s a staple of any shelter at home film collection for its popcorn flick entertainment and quotable...

Nice selections all so far. I have seen each movie apart from Arrival and What We Do In The Shadows. I saw Heat in the 90s on VHS and was confused by the abrupt ending. I think it was only the first of 2 VHS tapes... I’ll add those to my mental watchlist :)

B = The Big Lebowski (1998) - R This is a wonderful character ensemble with a winding kidnapping mystery linking bowlers to billionaires. Best of the bunch is John Goodman's role as Walter Sobchak, a Vietnam Veteran trying to make sense of mundane southern California life. John Turturro is...

M = Memento (2000) - R This is the first DVD I ever purchased, and my first viewing of a Christopher Nolan film. It has such a linear structure, where each scene is essential to the next. The movie leaves detailed bread crumbs as the hero himself is trying to solve the murder of his wife...

Have you ever considered piracy? You’d make an excellent Dread Pirate Roberts ;).

Great selections so far! The Princess Bride is high on my watch-list. I may be have to visit the forest so I can catch a viewing :)

Looking forward to it, count me in :)

Well said, I agree.

IMDB.com is an invaluable resource and can help judge official movie titles and genres. We linked each pick in previous movie drafts to their IMDB page. They list the categories/genre each movie falls under as well. They give writer credit, including novels...they do put series together, like...

I’m interested. I’ll help you lead this Jack Jack :). How about adding a poll to choose draft types if able.

Looks like you need 1 more participant to get the draft running. I'll join to make an even 8 :)

Thanks for a wonderful draft kingsfans! Everyone is welcome to join me at the cabin for movie nights anytime :)

A few movies I was still pondering were: 60s + Older: How The West Was Won The Great Race It's A Wonderful Life The Party The Jungle Book 70s: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory The Hobbit: Rankin and Bass 80s: Rain Man Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade War Games Caddyshack Labyrinth...

Mi casa es su casa :)

With my 13th selection, I choose: The Gods Must Be Crazy (1980) IMDB Link: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080801/ Part anthropological culture study, part slapstick comedy, part satirical discussion regarding modern consumer culture, this film still has relevance. I find it heartwarming...
