        12.04 - All About Eve

        I know we all liked to pick our favorites, but insane that this all-time great wasn't picked.

            If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

                First foreign language film on our list.
                would have never made it to the 3rd round if I was in this draft, would have grabbed plenty of Kurosawa late as well. I'm sad I missed this draft

                  Sorry we missed you, too. Did you see the commentary thread? Why not post some of your favorites there?

                    It would have been great to have you in. I suspect it could have had a pretty big impact on how the draft unfolded.

                    Nice to see you again.

                      Incredibly the top movie of all-time as voted by 358 filmmakers (Tokyo Story) didn't get drafted. I've never even heard of it.

                      Every ten years, film journal Sight and Sound conducts a worldwide survey of film critics to decide which films are considered the best ever made. Started in 1952, the poll is now widely regarded as the most important and respected out there.

                        Not sure if I'm the only drafter who hadn't seen it, but last night my family watched The Day the Earth Stood Still, very enjoyable.
