off the top of my head,
12 angry men
touch of evil
rear window
it's a mad mad mad mad world
the good the bad and the ugly
singin in the rain
the gold rush
city lights
dr. strangelove
and for foreign films from before the 70s:
battleship potemkin
the man with a movie camera
the passion of joan of arc
yojimbo
pre-1970s hollywood is still way too broad a category though
and if I had to pick only one it would definitely be 12 angry men

mirrorman was the best player on sparkle gang and he will be the best player on this squad
neither team was makin playoffs so its kinda irrelevant but hes pretty good
I was gonna make my own Unbiased Observer power rankings but jesus christ I just dont have the huevos anymore
guess ill stick to invite ones
Tino_Another part of the issue is many many teams run into the "hard talk" wall at some point, and people are not invested enough in Tf2 to actually sit down and have a real talk about shit and figure it out without feeling attacked or rage quitting the team because people called them out on shit, so it becomes easier to kill the team after a season and do the same thing again 3 months later.
the best part is when those same people have giant egos, so an IM team dies and all 6 players look for invite offers or something
game with no money at stake = magnet for naturally flaky people who emo out at first sign of trouble
simple as that
yes, in many areas that sort of description applies very neatly to me as well
however, by happenstance I actually applied for a job at a gun control advocacy nonprofit about 6 hours before this shooting happened, so I was just looking at so many actual survivors and families affected by gun violence who have made a stand and, in the parlance of this thread "politicized a tragedy"- their own, of course
so forgive me if I'm pretty sick of this concern trolling
we can argue about the efficacy of this vs that gun control plan, over the effect of America's gun-loving culture, and how to balance the 2nd amendment with all of it, and reasonable people can disagree
but what I am fucking TIRED of hearing is "don't politicize the tragedy by talking about x" regardless of what x is in any given case
it is impossible to divorce politics from literally every facet of life, and to choose not to discuss the political ramifications of a thing is just as political a statement as to discuss them
I am sick of people who actually want to do something about problems in the world, whatever those problems are and whatever their point of view toward addressing them, being accused of being opportunists or trying to "push an agenda". it is 100x more craven and disgusting to accuse someone of salivating when they hear about a mass shooting like this and going "oh boy now I get to talk about gun control!" than it is for that person to want to talk about gun control in the wake of said shooting
it's also always some ridiculously comfortable internet dweeb who has literally never done anything for anyone who tries to tone police this shit too, fuck off with your holier-than-thou attitudes when the most effort you have ever put into addressing a tragedy like this is to type "wow so sad" on a gaming forum
