Sawducks Movie Walrus

Sawduck

This is my first time hosting anything on here so I'm sure it will be a beautiful disaster

What is a Movie Walrus
Simply send me a pm with one movie for each of the following four categories, i will rank all the movies in each category and the person with the best combined score in all four is the winner.

Why am I doing this
I am a movie nerd. Yep a big old movie nerd, i have seen so many movies at this stage it is beyond crazy. I even have an account on twitter that runs movie poll tournaments(it's @Polls_movies just in case anyone's interested) I love pretty much every genre, except one which I'm not going to reveal just yet. I love re-watching great movies and discovering new ones too

The Categories
1.Something Old - A movie made before the year 1980
A friend of mine once said " Old movies are rubbish" he is of course a fool, so let us all prove what a fool he is by selecting some great movies before the year 1980.

2.Something New - A Movie from the year 2000 onwards
There have been many wonderful movies released in the last 20 years, send me one of your favorites from this era

3.Something Borrowed - Something borrowed from another source. The Movie should be borrowed from one of these, a famous book, a comic, a video game, a movie that was originally a TV Show or a remake of an earlier Movie. There are so many options for this one.

4. Something Blue - A movie to cure the blues
2020 Has left most of us with a case of the blues, so for this category I want a movie that will cheer us all up and put a smile on our faces


I will leave this open for awhile so there is no rush and I will let you all know a few days in advance when I'm deciding to close it. I won't be as fast as LaVar was with his walrus but I'll try be quicker than triggers one

Also Starring LeVar Burton

I'm in. Will have selections into you before tomorrow morning. Need to think about 'em for awhile.

And following on Twitter.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

You may want to throw an an announcement into the upcoming games thread pinned at the top of Forum Games, Sawduck. Quite a few people only seem to follow that and don't see things otherwise.

Thank for the heads up, I have never really took much notice to that but it would be a good idea to advertise it there

Purgative

I'll give a go shortly Sawduck

Tauriel

My first movie walrus

Kolido

Count me in please could be a few days though

Sawduck

I will leave this open for about 2 to 3 weeks so there is no rush, just send a pm anytime you are ready

Purgative

PM sent

Sawduck

Up to 6 entries now and only one duplicate, a nice selection of movies so far

Sawduck

I will probably close this on Saturday 5th of December, so that leaves a week and a half for anyone else interested to get their submissions in. I am aiming to get the first round complete before Christmas, its possible I could get two rounds done by then but that depends on how busy I am.

I just meant second category, I will hopefully rank the movies in the first category "something old" before Christmas

Purgative

Ah right - that makes sense to a walrus virgin

How do you watch the movies? Do we have to provide links?

I should be able to find most movies online somewhere, so it's not necessary to add links

Reberetta

I couldn't find some of the movies I wanted to submit online unless you pay for them. Are you willing to pay for them?

Never even gave that a thought - was so delighted to think up an answer that seemed to work

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Ah if you know where to look, most things are findable... Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum...

Are they on Netflix, if not which site. You can send me a pm anyway and I'll see if I can find them, I might even have them on dvd, I have an impressive dvd collection

I might have to pay to watch one of your selections, I could only find it on amazon, I don't mind paying though so its grand

10 Entries in now, i have seen at least one movie from everyone who has entered before, although some i haven't seen in years so it will be good to have a rewatch to see if my opinions changed. There are one or two movies that i didn't particularly like the last time i viewed them but for the most part the movies you all entered are great. I am still taking entries until Saturday, if you want to enter send a pm
