You can still pick Do the Right Thing.

4. Once you pick an movie by a certain director, you can no longer pick anything else from that said director. For example, you can't pick two Gus Van Sant movies. However, anyone else can pick another Gus Van Sant movie that has not been picked.

I would have picked Munich had I not taken Schindler in the first round.
 
You guys are killing me with your excellent tastes. I'm pretty disappointed I didn't get any of my favorite Ridley Scott films.

What is the draw of TAoJJbtCRF?

I sincerely ask this of its fans. I rented it right when it came out, disappointed I couldn't see it in theatres and was completely and utterly disappointed. The film's pacing to me felt so laborious and drawn out between scenes. Beautifully shot, but the pacing seemed equal to The New World or the Thin Red Line in the slowness category. Perhaps I am getting old and my attention span is shortening because for only the 4th time in my life that I can remember, I actually fell asleep while watching this movie. There was nothing to draw me in about this movie at all. :(

Is it the cinematography? The gradual hardening of Robert Ford and animosity towards Jesse James at his lax attitude? Dialogue? I couldn't feel this movie for some reason.

I am excited to watch Le Samourai tonight as I have never seen it but have heard tons of praise from it from pretty much everyone. I hope it doesn't turn out to be like Blood Simple in the hype department

To be honest I had similar feelings about the film the first time I watched it. It is a slow movie; especially the first half. It's something you kind of have to be prepared for I guess. I was able to appreciate it much more after a second and third viewing when I knew what I was in for and was able to just absorb the sights and sounds; so yes cinamatography was a big part of this choice, along with music and most of the performances. I didn't exactly plan to pick it for my list, but you guys beat me to most of my favorites so I'm just going with my gut.

6. Hot Fuzz - Edgar Wright
I was debating between this and Shaun of the Dead until CajoleJuice settled it for me.

Wait, holy shit, has no one picked

#7

Jaws - Steven Spielberg

I was waching it again the other week and it has one of my favourite Spielberg scenes ever. Where Brody's son is just mimicking him and they just let it roll for the whole scene until he tells his son he needs a kiss. Beautiful sene.

I wasn't actually referring to Jaws :lol I was deciding between the Two Nosferatus...but couldn't and decided to ignore both and pick something different :lol

But I do admit, It is a very large boat ^_^
 
American Psycho - Mary Harron

What ?!!? Nobody picked this yet?! Wow, Bale's impeccable performance and the biting materialism of the 80's makes this one of my perfect movies.

You don't even know how close I was to picking Herzog's just to be a dick :lol

...but I think I'll go with:

The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser - Werner Herzog

And actually, the more I think about it, it really is the most unflinchingly Herzog film of his entire career. Everything in his entire filmography can be found in this single film (indeed, he intended it as such, even going so far as to riddle the film with references to his past work up to that point).
 
I updated all the picks, some of you are still missing some rounds. Also please check you movie list for accuracy, I may have made some mistakes copying everything down.
 
I thought documentaries weren't going to be allowed but since they are...
Grey Gardens - Ellen Hovde, Albert Maysles, David Maysles, Muffie Meyer
