Nominations for March 2013

[Thorkell A. Ottarsson]

Here are the nominations for March 2013. I have decided to focus on directors who are known for dramas/melodramas and all directors I'm extremely found off. All of these kind of represent the softer side of me. Anyway, here they are:

Max Ophüls

Douglas Sirk

Georg Wilhelm Pabst

Carl Theodor Dreyer

Let the voting begin :)

Mvh

Thorkell

P.s. I'm also going to post this on Facebook so I might import some votes from there but I would like to ask those who are here on this post list to vote here, and not on facebook (to keep it simple).

Over my dead body... Dreyer!

I would have probably voted for Pabst but of course the vote would be wasted lol.. my vote definitely goes to Dreyer. I had only seen the famous Joan of Arc and it was incredibly beautiful therefore I would love to see more of his work.

Ophüls 4

Sirk ½

Pabst ½

Dreyer 6

Ok, I think we can call it. Dreyer will be our March director. It is
not easy to pick three film as main films because Dreyer made 4 films
that are a must see, The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928), Ordet (1955)
Day of Wrath (1943) and Vampyr (1932). I also have another problem, I
have not seen Master of the House and don't know how it stands up to
Michael or The Parson's Widow. If anyone has seen the 3 then please
advice on which 2 are best.

So here are my suggestions:

Main list:
*The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928)
?*Ordet (1955)
?*Day of Wrath (1943)
*Vampyr (1932)
Gertrud (1964)

And two of these on the main list:
Michael (1924)
The Parson's Widow (1920)
Master of the House (1925)

Extra list:
They Caught the Ferry (1948)
The Bride of Glomdal (1926)
Landsbykirken (1947)
Die Gezeichneten (1922)
Leaves Out of the Book of Satan (1920)
Två människor (1945)
Et slot i et slot: Krogen og Kronborg (1955)
Der var engang (1922)
Storstrømsbroen (1950)
The President (1919)
Kampen mod kræften (1947)
Thorvaldsen (1949)
Mødrehjælpen (1942)

So, no comment on the watch list? Kasper? Anyone? :)

[Bobby Beksinski]

The 5 main films are a certainty, You don't have to change anything
but I just personally love Gertrud more than Day of Wrath and Vampyr.

It looks good. Maybe Vampyr isn't the obvious choice for a star (I would probably say Jeanne d'Arc, Ordet and Gertrud) - haven't seen any of the three early silent films you list, so I don't know which should be main listed.
