Movie Draft

Recommended Posts

I think the judges should rule more favorably toward movies that fit squarely in the category drafted.

 

For instance, Groundhog Day is just as much comedy as romance, probably more comedy even.

If that's the case, then I want the ability to tweak my choices. I pushed the boundaries with Last of the Mohicans as romance, because it is an action/romance film, so it fits the category. If you want to penalize us for making choices like that, after the fact, then we should get to make changes.

I'm not going to penalize you, and ultimately its the judges discretion whether to take my advice or not, but I just don't want it getting out of hand to where someone picks Inception and puts it as Romance or something.

I think it's a good fit if you like at the IMDB tags and it's included., Romantic Comedy should be able to fit either, just like Last of the Mohicans is Adventure/Romance/War, so it would fit in Romance, Action, or Historical (French Indian War), where as something like Inception is listed as Action/Mystery/SciFi, so dumping it into Romance should result in a penalty.

Sounds good.

Forrest Gump is most definitely a romance so I'm good there.

 

Forrest Gump is a Drama hands down. Since Drama is out, Romance would be then second option. But saying Forrest Gump is a Romance kind of movie is like saying A Beautiful Mind is a Romance. They are not Romance. They are Dramas. Romance would be a sub plot, but not the main one.

Clearly you are wrong.
