[Ezee E]

yes to Clouzot.

And Sven and Boner can pick a director whenever all these ones are revealed.

[Kurosawa Fan]

WEEK 12: Elvis Presley films

[dreamdead]

Week 13: Vidor?
Week 14: Dehumanizes life in Asia. Bronco colors! - Tsukamoto?

[Raiders]

[Ezee E]

Week 23: Satyajit Ray
Yup.

[Ezee E]

I made a mistake on my clue for Week 41. it's been updated.

[Raiders]

Any way to switch P&P week to just Michael Powell? He did pretty much all the directing for P&P films anyway, and that way we can knock out his few solo works as well (essentially Peeping Tom).

[Watashi]

30 - John Waters
34 - Darren Aronofsky
39 - Carol Reed
49 - Edward Yang
51 - Alejandro Jodorowsky

[Raiders]

Seems unlikely, but...

Week 41: Rolf de Heer

[Ezee E]

Reed and Jodorowsky...

[Sven]

WEEK 15: Ken Russell
WEEK 25: Monte Hellman
WEEK 52: Richard Donner

More bad guesses (I'm sure about 25, though... duh).

By the way, I'm sure none of these are Jules Dassin. Add him for my spoil plz.

[Raiders]

Week 10: Eric Rohmer
Week 20: Erich Von Stroheim
Week 25: Monte Hellman
Week 40: Claire Denis (nipples = boobs, maybe?)
Week 49: Sydney Pollack

[Ezee E]

Hellman, Donner, Rohmer, and Pollack.

40. Schumacher

[Ezee E]

Brooks and Schumacher are correct.

[Sven]

Week 15: von Sternberg

[Raiders]

Week 20: Sergei Eisenstein

[soitgoes...]

30 would have to be Frankenheimer.

[Boner M]

Week 34: Tony Scott

[soitgoes...]

Week 34: Tony ScottHe has his week in the sun this year.

[dreamdead]

Has anyone other than me or Llopin asked for Rohmer? I fail for not getting that one, in any event. :confused:

[Ezee E]

Some more hints:

5: 24 hours covered
6: Angels
13: Also, film noir
15: Don't forget the House.
20: EXTREME CLOSEUP
34: Russian
38: Sentiment. Old-timer

43: emphasis on damn
50: Mostly a writer

[Ezee E]

Has anyone other than me or Llopin asked for Rohmer? I fail for not getting that one, in any event. :confused:
I wan't sure, but nonetheless, someone called it, so...

:)

You got your wish.

[Sven]

Was Raiders not right about Eisenstein? Was I wrong about von Sternberg? Why have you not replaced Yimou with Dassin yet?!

[Raiders]

Week 20: Dreyer?
Week 34: Eisenstein
Week 43: Victor Fleming

[soitgoes...]

41: Roeg?

[Ezee E]

Dreyer.
Eisenstein.
Roeg.

All aboard.

Dassin too. My bad about that one Sven.

[soitgoes...]

Would 50 be Moodysson?

[soitgoes...]

Oh and 6 is Wenders.

[dreamdead]

Oh and 6 is Wenders.

I recall us doing Wenders at the old site.

[Boner M]

I recall us doing Wenders at the old site.
I don't.

[Boner M]

38: Douglas Sirk

[Ezee E]

Wenders is right.

Raiders will verify if he's been done.

[Yxklyx]

Is #5 Paul Greengrass? I thought we did him.

[Ezee E]

Is #5 Paul Greengrass? I thought we did him.
We haven't done him, and it isn't.

[Watashi]

38 is Frank Capra

[Watashi]

15 is Bryan Singer

[Sven]

15 is Bryan Singer

Ahhhhh... I could've sworn it was von Sternberg. The House thing messed that up, but Blue, Devil, and Nazis... come on!

[Winston*]

What's the The Devil clue for Singer referencing? Kaiser Soeze?

[Winston*]

50 - Paul Schrader

[Ezee E]

Capra! Singer! Schrader!

Three left.

I also followed Raiders' request, and it's just Powell.

[thefourthwall]

Week 13: Buster Keaton?

When this is all done, will we be able to see all the clues again?

[Ezee E]

Week 13: Buster Keaton?

When this is all done, will we be able to see all the clues again?
No, and probably not, as I haven't saved them. Sorry.

[Raiders]

43: emphasis on damn

As in Jean-Claude Van Damme? Like, Ringo Lam?

[Ezee E]

As in Jean-Claude Van Damme? Like, Ringo Lam?
...

[soitgoes...]

Capra's been done already.

[Ezee E]

Capra's been done already.
Bah! You're right.

You get one too.

[soitgoes...]

Bah! You're right.

You get one too.
Mizoguchi please.

[Watashi]

Don't I technically get to name the director since I guessed him right?

[soitgoes...]

Don't I technically get to name the director since I guessed him right?Did you know it was a repeat? You can have the honors if you'd like.

[Ezee E]

You two figure it out, and let me know of the result.

[thefourthwall]

No, and probably not, as I haven't saved them. Sorry.

:sad: I guess I was mostly curious about what Neil Jordan's clue was since he was figured out before I read the thread. Being a bit of a celtophile, I <3 him.

[Raiders]

...

Well, I don't know. I thought at first it was a reference to GWTW, but no. I really don't know where else to take that clue.

[Ezee E]

Well, I don't know. I thought at first it was a reference to GWTW, but no. I really don't know where else to take that clue.
Ah, snap. I missed your guess on Fleming. Boom.

[soitgoes...]

I can't think of a film noir director we haven't done that would have the films to back up saying that Chaplin couldn't direct, besides Preminger or maybe Siodmak. It isn't a Welles comment is it?

[Ezee E]

There's many a film noir directors. You have not named him yet.

Some also ventured out.

Key clue: 12.

Although I guess 13 works in some culinary cases.

[Ezee E]

As for the other person, I could blow it with one word and it'll give the director away. So I won't do that.

[Sven]

There's many a film noir directors. You have not named him yet.

Some also ventured out.

Key clue: 12.

Although I guess 13 works in some culinary cases.

Robert Aldrich, beyotch.

[Winston*]

Robert Aldrich

[Winston*]

iosos is a liar and a cheat.

[Ezee E]

Wow.

Sven wins.

[Raiders]

What the hell does '12' have to do with Aldrich?

[Winston*]

What the hell does '12' have to do with Aldrich?
Think Bronson. And Marvin. And Sutherland. And...etc.

[Raiders]

Oh. Lame.

[Ezee E]

Oh. Lame.
You, for not getting it?

:)

[soitgoes...]

There's many a film noir directors. You have not named him yet.

Some also ventured out.

Key clue: 12.

Although I guess 13 works in some culinary cases.
Nevermind. I guess I should read the rest of the pages before answering. Haha.

[soitgoes...]

Winterbottom for 5? I'm not sure if it covers the first clue (although 9 Songs was horrifyingly bad), but the second one fits.

[Ezee E]

Winterbottom for 5? I'm not sure if it covers the first clue (although 9 Songs was horrifyingly bad), but the second one fits.
Next clue:

All 24 hours covered by this director.

[Raiders]

I would like to plead to Boner to replace Van Sant with Roger Corman.

[Boner M]

I would like to plead to Boner to replace Van Sant with Roger Corman.
Sorry, Chabrol's my pick.

CHABROLLED!

[Sven]

Next clue:

All 24 hours covered by this director.

...Stephen Hopkins? No way.

[Ezee E]

...Stephen Hopkins? No way.
No way indeed.

C'mon people.

[Ezee E]

Sorry, Chabrol's my pick.

CHABROLLED!
Outside of The Butcher, I know nothing of this guy. Added.

[Raiders]

Sorry, Chabrol's my pick.

CHABROLLED!

Uber-lame.

[Raiders]

Alright, maybe it is Larry Clark?

[Ezee E]

Alright, maybe it is Larry Clark?
Nope.

You guys'll slap yourselves when you figure it out.

[Sven]

Nope.

You guys'll slap yourselves when you figure it out.

Romero? Night, Dawn, Day? Haven't we done Romero?

[Ezee E]

Romero? Night, Dawn, Day? Haven't we done Romero?
Yay.

And I don't know. Probably. ::smacks head if true::

EDIT: Damnit, we have. Go again Sven.

[Sven]

Yay.

And I don't know. Probably. ::smacks head if true::

EDIT: Damnit, we have. Go again Sven.

Hmmm... have we done Vincente Minnelli? If not, bam.

[Ezee E]

Hmmm... have we done Vincente Minnelli? If not, bam.
Cool.

Once Wats/Soitgoes figure out their director, we'll be set.

Hopefully you guys like the list. I think it's better than this year's.

[Raiders]

Romero had occurred to me quite early on, but since we had done him, I didn't bother guessing.

I'm still hoping one of the other replacements is either Corman and Denis, or both.

[Watashi]

I vote for Danny Boyle in case soitgoes doesn't mind.

[Ezee E]

I vote for Danny Boyle in case soitgoes doesn't mind.
We've done Danny Boyle. This year.

[Watashi]

We've done Danny Boyle. This year.
Mizoguchi it is then.

[Ezee E]

And now, it is set!

[thefourthwall]

Thought I'd bump this up in case anyone else was looking for it.
