- Post subject: Non-English Films [Tournament Express]
|
So we tried a few of these a while back and it went well, let's give one another shot. An express tournament to find the best films not in the English language.
It works much like a tournament, but instead of cluttering up the forum with individual threads for each matchup (not that I'm opposed to that, just this doesn't bear as much attention as a music tourney with loads of participants), we merely lump all the matchups into one thread. Each matchup is labeled and users can vote via PM or in the thread itself.
(See any earlier Express Tournament for better details)
I propose this time around each user gets two FOUR nominations for a non-English film. Matchups will be randomized. Films eligible are anything that could be nominated for an Academy Award (feature length, animated, short, and documentary. Miniseries and TV films not allowed)
The nominations so far:
The 36th Chamber of Shaolin
The 400 Blows
8 ½
A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence
A Separation
Akira
Amelie
Angst
The Band's Visit
Blame It On Fidel
Blue is the Warmest Colour
Brightness
Children of Paradise
