Nighthawk Posted June 3, 2004 Report Posted June 3, 2004 Bullshit, don't take any of the movies I said. They're immaculate. Now you're saying that drama is inherantly better than action comedy. There's a lot more than 16 movies there that I'd rather weren't, so I won't participate in this.

The African Queen Most of those bolded all have something to offer, but don't belong in a list such as this. And all of the 7 that I was considering highlighting I hadn't seen in a time enough to get the brunt of what they had to offer. That, but mostly that all of those left are amazing films. So take those 7.

godthedog Posted June 3, 2004 Report Posted June 3, 2004 this tournament makes my head hurt. this thing will end worse than the last one did.
slabinskia Posted June 3, 2004 Report Posted June 3, 2004 Why are scarface and forrest gump not in the nominations list ?I know that I nominated them and I consider both to be great movies.Also,no goodfellas or usual suspects is disapointing.
NYU Posted June 3, 2004 Report Posted June 3, 2004 Ugh. "Don't be a Menace" was supposed to be a joke entry......guess that didn't go over so well. You might as well take it off the list, as it was never meant to be taken seriously. I would strongly suggest replacing it with "Forrest Gump" instead. 1. 2001: A Space Odyssey 8. Back To The Future 14. Das Boot 17. Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood 27. Goldfinger 35. L.A. Confidential 42. Monster 43. Monty Python and the Holy Grail 62.

Edwin MacPhisto Posted June 3, 2004 Report Posted June 3, 2004 Three people want to vote off Touch of Evil? Y'all are either dumb or haven't seen it. This tournament is like four car crashes all happening at the same time, next to a mixed-use propane and broken glass factory.
godthedog Posted June 3, 2004 Report Posted June 3, 2004 little-known tidbit: 'touch of evil' is a better movie than 'citizen kane'.
Edwin MacPhisto Posted June 3, 2004 Report Posted June 3, 2004 Well, yeah. I thought that was implied once you nominated Beverly Hills Cop.
Nighthawk Posted June 3, 2004 Report Posted June 3, 2004 Yes, Beverly Hills Cop is the greatest movie in the world. It shares this position with many others. If you disagree, you don't understand film.
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted June 3, 2004 Report Posted June 3, 2004 Why are scarface and forrest gump not in the nominations list ?I know that I nominated them and I consider both to be great movies.Also,no goodfellas or usual suspects is disapointing. Dude, they all got 2 or more nominations. THEY ARE IN ALREADY! I mentioned that in the first post.
slabinskia Posted June 3, 2004 Report Posted June 3, 2004 oops,my mistake.I misread the original post.

Guest JumpinJackFlash Posted June 4, 2004 Report Posted June 4, 2004 Lawrence of Arabia isn't on this list but Menace to South Central is?
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted June 4, 2004 Report Posted June 4, 2004 Lawrence of Arabia isn't on this list but Menace to South Central is? Eh...I can't tell people what to say is great. Be thankful Kill Bill isn't anywhere on the list. Anyway, I think enough people spoke considering 12 films have to take a hike. The following 12 are eliminated from the tournament.... 1. Don't Be a Menace to South Central (10) (later found out this was a joke nominee, but at least people caught on) 2. Menace II Society (9) 3. Fast Times at Ridgement High (8) 4. Monster (8) 5. The Americanization of Emily (7) (I guess America really didn't want her) 6. Goldfinger (6) 7. Back To The Future (5) (FuckerS!) 8. She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (5) 9. Grand Illusion (4) 10. Monty Pyhthon and the Holy Grail (4) 11. Touch of Evil (4) 12. Wait Until Dark (3) Note: 5 Movies were tied for 12th, so I had to eliminate one. Being the deciding vote sucks sometimes, but that's the break.
Guest El Satanico Posted June 4, 2004 Report Posted June 4, 2004 Touch of Evil voted off before the actual tourney? It's a mockery I say. At least Bride of Frankenstein survived.
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted June 4, 2004 Report Posted June 4, 2004 Touch of Evil voted off before the actual tourney? It's a mockery I say. Same could be said for Back to the Future (bastards!), but some people don't feel it's great I guess. (of course not, it was killed off in a land slide in the other tournament)
Guest El Satanico Posted June 4, 2004 Report Posted June 4, 2004 Same could be said for Back to the Future (bastards!), but some people don't feel it's great I guess. (of course not, it was killed off in a land slide in the other tournament) I'm a huge BTTF fan, but since you're trying to do a "great movies" tourney I don't think it belongs here either.
