The Top of the Bleeping Obstacle: MoFo Top 100 War Movies Prelims!
https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca88...4XvDHITbnP_D50
It's finally here, everyone! The Movieforums Top 100 War Movies Preliminary Thread! As you can see, I named it after a quote from Full Metal Jacket. The name was gonna be different, but a Vietnamese friend really didn't want me naming it "Me So Horny." This is my first ever hosting job on Movieforums, and I plan to do as good of a job as possible. However, there will be a War Movies Group Watch that I won't be very active in, so I'm asking SpelingError to do the job. Once that thread is up and running I'll link it here. YOU KNOW DA ROOLZ
Speaking of new users, for those of you not in the know, this is where you submit your ballot: https://www.movieforums.com/ballot.php HOW TO USE IT

Awesome thanks for hosting, Keyser.
Regarding The Human Condition Trilogy, I hereby propose that we use the first film as representative of the entire trilogy. What do you all think? |
Re: The Top of the Bleeping Obstacle: MoFo Top 100 War Movies Prelims!
:up: Glad to start this....One question about the rules: You say,
"Only movies that are tagged as a war movie on these thee websites: Imdb, Letterboxd and Rotten Tomatoes, can be voted for."

Totally agree. I was going to ask how people were going to approach this.

I wonder what director will make the most appearances on the war countdown? My prediction would be Kubrick.

Small tech thing: ballot submissions can't be accepted quite yet. I need to do a little tech work for that, but it won't be much. But some of you who like to submit immediately might have to wait a few days, tops. ;)

Can Charlie's Angels:Full Throttle still be eligible despite this not being noir? I mean, tbf, it's more of a war film than it is noir. :D

Going based on imdb's genre tags, I have seen 190 war films. I have at least 21 other war films on dvd or blu ray that I have not seen yet.

Goodluck hosting this @KeyserCorleone
https://www.movieforums.com/communit...1&d=1678650126 I hope this movie makes it. IMDb says it's eligible. |

The three films can be listed separately, and not as a whole. The same goes for the four War and Peace movies, since some of us have only seen parts and may not be able to see the rest.

I wonder if Salo will make the countdown? It is a war film according to Letterboxd so it is eligible.

I see you don't have Forbidden Games crossed off the Ebert list. You might like that one.
