Wow, I really thought Godard would have been a much more popular choice.

Yay?

you are correct, for somereason I thought I had written the question as 7 films and i didnt think to double check...let me correct this.

Powell should have 10:

Thief of Baghdad
49th Parallel
I Know Where I'm Going
A Canterbury Tale
The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp
Black Narcissus
The Red Shoes
Small Back Room
Tales of Hoffman
Peeping Tom

Thief of Baghdad wasn't listed with him as the director when i put them in order on the Criterion site, but I see it was a collaboration between Ludwig Berger, Michael Powell and Tim Whelan, so it was listed under B for Berger. It should count though...I'm refixing your scores.

Thanks for breaking the game, sauce

EDIT: NM, we're rolling again.

Which leaves us with these 3 that i initially scored as uniques forgetting that the threshhold was 10, not 7...so here are 3 more wrong answers!

Question 1
Jules Winfield 4
Rocket1312 4
Shannon Nutt 4
Sleepyhead55 4
Arpeggie 6
BambooLounge 6
Boba Fett 6
CNicholls44 8
ivelostr2 8
Obi-Wan Jabroni 8
Shumway 8
Damfino 10
Davidh777 10
Kal Varnsen 10
orangecrush 10
sauce07 10
Crocker Jarmen 14
hasselein 14
Rockmjd23 14
Cruzness 14
dhmac 14
TBC 14

If I have learned anything from this so far, to be a great director, you have to smoke and stare at film...or in Fellini's case, look like a complete bad ass.

Hello there...

Darn. Counted wrong.

If the highest scoring correct answer is +10, shouldn't the wrong answers be +12?

EDIT: Nevermind. Forgot about the multipliers and didn't really read how they worked until now.

I think Fellini should be correct.

Amarcord
Nights of Cabiria
And the Ship Sails On
8 1/2
Juliet of the Spirits
The White Sheik
La Strada
I vitelloni
Variety Lights
Fellini Satyricon (LD only)

it had a x2 multiplier, so the penulty is double

Fellini should have at least 10:
Variety Lights
The White Sheik
I Vitelloni
8 1/2
Nights of Caberia
La Strada
Amacord
...And The Ship Sails On
Juliet of the Spirits

And on laserdisc:

Yup, forgot about that. Edited my post to show the same.

dammit, this is a trainwreck. I didn't take into account the LD when i counted those movies.

You should've stuck with the DVD/BD releases only, bring in LD is a pain in the ass.

We forgive you. After all, you only had a week to prepare.

I'm going to have to agree.



Fellini (9 films) -30
Crocker Jarmen

+10!!!

Also, I don't know what source you are using to research these, but I find the lists on Wikipedia to be very useful. They're sortable by spine, title, year, director, etc and what's nice about their LD list is that it lists the corresponding DVD spine number. If it's LD only, then there's just a dash in that column.

I really thought i would get through like 5 questions before i had to leave today...FUCK.

it is up to you guys, I can post a few tonight after like 9ish EST or I can wait until tomorrow at like 10:30ishAM EST and try to get through them all.

btw, did everybody get their extra answer in?

First place! That means I'll be in last by the end of the game.
