I haven't seen half of this round's movies yet! these are the only ones I can vote on for now :eek:

5. Boogie Nights
12. Andre Rublev

4. The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie - due for a re-watch. This is close. The first half of Straw Dogs isn't that great to me but the ending more than makes up for it.

Have you actually seen all 16 movies?

[The Rodent]

The only one I haven't seen is Andrei Rublev... but I can't stand anything with Markymarkymarkymarkymark...

... so you could have put The Garbage Pail Kids Movie against Boogie Nights and I still wouldn't have picked it...

[mark f]

The Mother - is that the Daniel Craig movie?

So that vote doesn't count then?

8. Bio Zombie
9. Willow

2. The Crying Game
15. Blow Out

I'd just like to point out that, if you can, please watch the subtitled version of Bio Zombie. Having seen both the subtitled and dubbed version, I wouldn't have nominated the dubbed one, as it's just a very different experience. Hell, it's a different film.

I'm not taking any votes where both films haven't been seen. And please do be honest, it kind of ruins the purpose of this.

[Godoggo]

Mark- It's supposed to be Mother directed by Joon-ho BongWell in that case...

3. Big Deal on Madonna Street
14. Mother

[Thursday Next]

Well at least I'm not the only one who hasn't seen many of these.

8. Bio Zombie
9. Willow

Probably. It's been a long time since I saw Willow but I have mostly fond memories of it. Bio Zombie was quite fun, although the main characters were such jerks they deserved to be eaten by zombies.

6. The Apartment
11. Cabaret

I feel bad for The Apartment, it didn't make it past the first round last time either, but it got a tough draw this time. Cabaret is one of my favourites.

[Thursday Next]

7. The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
10. My Father's Glory

[mark f]

What????

[Thursday Next]

I liked La Gloire de Mon Pere, even if it was a little chocolate box at times, and I would have voted for it against some other films in the bracket. It was a close tie, and to be fair I probably ought to have watched Priscilla again, but I don't have time. I voted for Priscilla Queen of the Desert for the same reasons I nominated it, because it's a fun film with good performances and lots of memorable dialogue.

8. Bio Zombie
9. Willow

5. Boogie Nights
12. Andre Rublev

3. Big Deal on Madonna Street
14. The Mother

6. The Apartment
11. Cabaret

2. The Crying Game
15. Blow Out

[mark f]

My Father's Glory is my wife's favorite film and gets her vote as the most romantic ever. I think it's beautiful and probably the closest I'll ever get to Provence. It's also incredibly witty. My Mother's Castle (Part 2) is almost as good and very poignant, especially when the elder Marcel appears. I hate the idea that people don't know this film - not many votes for this matchup.

[Thursday Next]

I'd honestly never heard of My Father's Glory before, but I'm glad I watched it and will probably look up the second part too.

[Godoggo]

1. True Romance
16. Mauvais Sang-Hard Choice. There are things I like and dislike about both films, but Sang is the one I would want to watch again, where as I think I 'm kind of over Romance.


8. Bio Zombie - Great fun, but I love Willow.
9. Willow

[honeykid]

I knew Bio Zombie was doomed as soon as I saw it was paired with Willow. :( Not helped by the fact I really didn't like Willow.

[wintertriangles]

I would vote for Bio Zombie but that would mean I'd have to watch Willow

[honeykid]

I can understand that. I forgive you. I wouldn't want to inflict Willow on anyone who'd managed to avoid it.
