Movie Kolrus - Battle of the Decades

Kolido

What is movie walrus?

It is a game where each player will pm me a movie for each category, the player with the highest score at the end will be declared the winner.

Why am I doing this?

I love movies, I love you all, and it's Christmas

What movies do I like?

I mainly watch thrillers, horrors, and action movies. That's not to say I don't like anything in between.

The categories

As the title suggests, this will be a battle of the decades. Please nominate one movie from each of these decades.

70s
80s
90s
00s
10s

Why did I choose these categories?

Although I love the classic film noir era of the 40s and 50s, I think the 70s is a good start point here, movie production really moved up a notch then and I think there are loads I still have to find, whether they be classics I've never got around to watching or hidden gems. As for the decades theme, well it is a nice easy one with almost unlimited posibilities.

But wait....there is one more thing.

The player who nominates the best movie overall will gain a bonus 5 points.

So, there you have it, please pm me your nominations. I would ideally like to have a max of 12, or a dirty dozen if you will. Good luck everyone.

I like your idea for the categories, with so many possibilities to send this may take me a while to find the right movies to send you but I'm in

No closing date as such but if I reach 12 I will close it. If I dont reach that target I will close it sooner but will give a heads up when.

Unless Kol turns out to be a massive fan of dodgy B-Movies, I'm not holding out much hope for this one, but sure look, I love my nominations and that's all that matters...

I don't think it matters tbf. We're in for a fun journey and we'll discover some hidden or forgotten gems.

Ah yeah definitely, I don't play Walruses to win, that's always just a bonus, I'm mainly here to enjoy myself and discover new things I wouldn't have been aware of otherwise.

We have 8 in so far and a couple others who showed interest in the tread. Happy to run this with between 10 or 12 players, no rush though, will leave this open for another while. If anyone wants to change their nominations they can do so before I close sign ups.

Regarding the nominations so far, the vast majority I have not seen which is great. There are also a few that have been on my watchlist for a long time so I will finally get to watch them.

Thanks everyone.

Coola boola I'll fire some off to you now. I'm struggling with a 2010s choice atm. Might just have to throw in something of not much credibility .. :pac:
