Boo this man and his good taste.
Hey you gotta be fair and impartial man. Dont jump to conclusions on these picks
I also want to call in to question

's 1st round pick. I think he meant
And through some auto correct error "Driver" was just automatically added on.
I leave it to you and the board to confer on this grievous mistake.

Similar thing with Fallon's Taxi. I heard about that and I was angry for a good 5 min thinking they remade Taxi Driver with Jimmy Fallon! 
No judgment here.
So it was a hate to love it pick?

I remember those years when SNL and Hollywood were trying to force Fallon on us, dark times.

The Irishman. Saw it Saturday. 7.5/8. The story was phenomenal, the acting too. Everyone on screen delivered, and not one actor/actress felt out of place whatsoever.
The only movie gripe I had was that the ending felt a bit too long in Frank's old age story. Can't wait to see it again on Netflix. Movie definitely deserved the theater viewing that I had.

So I saw it with my gf, and another couple. Them three read I Heard You Paint Houses. I did not. Apparently some key components were left out, which would have been nice to see in the film. ie: Frank's childhood with his father, and the fact that apparently Frank (in the age that he was portrayed the majority of the film) was an alcoholic? Neither factor was touched on.

Still trying to figure out the small part he had in Almost Famous. So random. How did that happen? And why?
That said, I have to confess to thinking Fever Pitch is decent and enjoying the (numerous) times on SNL he broke character and started visibly laughing during a sketch.

As an Honorary member of Team Duff,
nice dolphin

Thank you, and good luck to all competitors.

It gives me great honor to announce Team Nice Dolphins prepared statement at the podium.Other genre’s need filling on my roster and I’ll probably end up losing my some films I have in mind but I don’t want to this piece of art to get Seven Samurai’d.
One of my favorite directors and my personal favorite from Mexico’s Big 3, I choose Alfonso Cuarón’s magnum opus.
On the surface, it’s a road trip coming of age film. However, as you peel that initial layer back, you see this is not just some simple, one-layered fruit but a WHOLE onion.
The take on the socioeconomic differences in Mexico between classes told through the relationship of two friends was complex enough but then you throw in a Spanish conquistadora as a wrench between them? Masterful. And that’s just ONE major theme present in this movie.
Oh, and did I forget to say this was shot by El Chivo? IYKYK.
Thank you, and good luck to all competitors.

Western
Probably the Greatest Western of All Time
This scene alone puts it on top. I can't even describe it. **** just floors me everytime.
As for why I picked Unforgiven over this...idk
. Unforgiven is more like a post-modern deconstruction of the Western genre and theres something about its meditative nature that resonates with me more. But if i had to pick THE WESTERN...its OUATW
