I like it. It has ten movies. They are all black & white. I'd say you nailed it!

[Mithrandir]

Great pick with Postman.

[DMT]

Was considering Wuthering Heights for my next pick.

[Long John]

So, like, where are we?

[Gregg]

So, like, where are we?

I was out yesterday. I will be making my last pick in a minute.

I will then make my 11.01 bonus pick (1 of 2) and we will follow in that order. For those that are done I will insert a pass for the round. Please respond here if you are out.

[Ken]

So, like, where are we?

Fields of Whisky, apparently.

[Gregg]

I thought that 10th round was very strong. It will be interesting to see what happens in the 2 round bonus.

The bonus round starts off with two classic and strong picks.

I was thrilled to get Night of and Eternity is a monster this late.

[Mithrandir]

Night of is fantastic!
Also love the Caligari pick.

[Gregg]

I played the Harold Lloyd clock scene for my 2 adult daughters and my 9 year old Grandson. They loved it.

My Grandson asked if we could watch the whole movie someday. My daughters asked how could we not know about this guy or this movie.

I look forward to showing them some black and white movies.

So where are we? Whose pick is it? If a person is out, there should be something posted that his pick is passed. Mith listed a bunch of films but didnt specify a particular one.

[Long John]

Yeah, not sure why he did that. Steve already said he was out, so that would make it Mith's pick. Since he clearly picked many movies, I actually selected one on his list that I was already planning on taking.

TG is up.

I would have taken Dr. Caligari. Great pick.

[Mithrandir]

I didn't know Steve was out sorry. I will amend my post.

sorry guys, I had posted earlier that I would stop at 10 rounds ... if i had to pick here I'd take Zelig even tho 50% of it is colour which would invalidate it ... hence the stopping at 10 ...
