Le Havre

Good pick but isn't that a movie from 2011 ?

[Johnny P. Sartre]

Good pick but isn't that a movie from 2011 ?

Yes but it got a DVD release in 2012 and that's how I watched it.

Like I said, if it got released this year, it's fair game.

[Omega Alpha]

Yes but it got a DVD release in 2012 and that's how I watched it.

Like I said, if it got released this year, it's fair game.

So, if I watched Citizen Kane in 2012 in some new DVD/Blu-Ray/whatever edition, can I vote for it as best movie? That's silly.

[Johnny P. Sartre]

So, if I watched Citizen Kane in 2012 in some new DVD/Blu-Ray/whatever edition, can I vote for it as best movie? That's silly.

If you loved it, then yes. We're not doing your typical top ten list, this is a more personal list.

Here, if you've never see, heard or read it and it's a re-reprint and it got released this year, then it's allowed. If you have, then you can add it but limit yourself.

Those are guidelines, you don't have follow those but if you want to challenge yourself, go ahead. Like I said, the only rule is that it had to be released this year.

[Johnny P. Sartre]

Oh, The Artist, what a beautiful film.

[Libaax]

Oh, The Artist, what a beautiful film.

Wonderful music, great visual and good actors. A film that was fun,moved me to enjoyment in ways im not use to because it was so different. It was a a like modern great Charlie Chaplin without the slapstick. Simple sheer quality is enough in silent films.

No one wanted to go and see it with me of my friends,family. I didnt care.
