I'll use my final pick to grab Absolutely Anything and hope it gets released on time. It's as close as we'll ever get to a Monty Python reunion film, the rest of the cast is a who's who of British comedy, and it even features Robin Williams as a talking dog.

Absolutely love this pick if it comes out within our timeframe but that's a big if.

Last pick of the game for me.

What to choose...

I'll take a shot with The Search and hope that the next film from the maker of The Artist can deliver once more in pithy schmaltz.

It's currently shooting, as opposed to The Longest Ride, which is still casting, so there's a chance. And considering what's left at this stage the potential upside is too good to pass up. And if it doesn't make it, that's what the waiver wire is for.

Once made 10 million with no stars, "weird" accents, and yet somehow drew people in with an amazing story and wonderful music. Would love to see that happen again with a little bit bigger cast and a more accessible setting.

Wanted this for my last pick. I know how much Harvey paid for it and how much he's spending on P&A, and so I had the feeling it could be this summer's The Way, Way Back.

Walleye, I'm putting a hex on you...
Ah, that Vader made me laugh so the hex is totally worth it :)

True but I figure this will get a better release date later in the year than The Longest Ride because of how huge it'll play in the UK (and I'd imagine the US release will be tied to the UK's somewhat). Either way it's a great risk to take at this point.

Well, I'm trying to decide between two horror films. One was a hit at Sundance and the other is the director's follow-up to his hit at Toronto.

By process of elimination (or choosing which one Phoebe Buffay's dead mother would take), I'll go with...

The Guest

This the third year in a row that I've selected an Adam Wingard movie (I picked You're Next two years straight).

I will finish up the draft by taking Monkey Kingdom. If I can squeeze $15M out of a Round 16 pick, I'll be happy.

I will create the thread with everyone's complete list either today or tomorrow. Someone else can create the Waiver Wire.

By the way, the title that I didn't take was Somnia. Luckily, it should be available on the waiver wire.
