Or once this thread has run its course, change it to movies which won 3x battle against each other or something along those lines.

man have I missed a bunch. I got a new LOTR Risk game that I just learned how to play, so I've been playing that with my friends. ANYway I vote for Fellowship of the Ring.

[John McClane]

Ahhh!!! I can't take this. I love the Fellowship but, Gangs of New York is a wonderful film. *debates which shall get his vote then he decides* Gangs of New York gets my vote. I love it all round; the music is the best thing in it though.

[Garrett]

man have I missed a bunch. I got a new LOTR Risk game that I just learned how to play, so I've been playing that with my friends. ANYway I vote for Fellowship of the Ring.

[John McClane]

What a coincidence... I've been playing Risk a lot lately, too. I'm too. What do you know. Do you know what I do when my friends and I can't finish a game? We take a digital picture of the board so we can come back and play a couple of days later.

My vote goes to Akira Kurosawa's masterpiece, Seven Samurai.

[LordSlaytan]

FellowshipHave you ever seen a Kurosawa film before?

Seven Samurai

[birdygyrl]

Fellowship of the Ring

[LTwedge]

I've never seen Seven Samurai, though it looks quite appealing, so I'll have to vote for Fellowship of the Ring.

[John McClane]

Have you ever seen a Kurosawa film before?

Seven SamuraiYes but, I must stay true to Lord of the Rings. Besides I'm 14 and I really don't like the black and whites that much.

Why do you only ask me?

[LordSlaytan]

I was only curious if you had seen any. Which ones?

[Mark]

...I really don't like the black and whites that much.

BLASPHEMY! :furious: I'm tempted to give negative rep points for this remark!

[Piddzilla]

[Philmster]

If you haven't seen one of the films, don't vote. I haven't seen Seven Samurai YET, so won't be voting, other people in the same position shouldn't vote.

Both films are marvels unto themselves.

I choose The Seven Samurai.

Very hard decision but Kurosawa's film tips it for its classical status.

And I realize this game has been running for a while now, but I guess there's no rule that you must have seen both films before you can cast a vote, huh? I mean there's no way to check it, just an honor system anyway, but surely if you haven't seen The Seven Samurai you shouldn't be allowed to cast a vote against it.

Oh, so you've seen Do the Right Thing, McClane? I'd very much like to see you write a review on that one, not The Punisher. Seriously. That's the kind of movie I'd like to read a teenage boy's opinion on, not a shoot-'em up comic book flick.


Do the Right Thing
It's a masterpiece, and should be absolutely required viewing in this country.

Yes, I have seen it. So knock it off the smarta$$ comments. I thought it was very good but, not better than The Good, The Bad, The Ugly. I saw it a couple of days ago on TV. By the way, I'm only going to write reviews for the more current ones. I might squeeze in a couple of old ones. Most old movies don't do it for me, with the exception of Die Hard.

Why is it that when I am being sarcastic it goes over your little head, and when I'm not being sarcastic you accuse me of it? I was being serious. I'd much rather read your thoughts on a film with more depth to it than just blowing ***** up.

But whatEVER.

As you, might, have read in my review film, not all of the films I reviewed involved blowing ***** up. I've been unable to get around to seeing Mystery, Alaska so, I'll be reviewing one of the films I rented. Matchstick Men. Then, Secondhand Lions.

[Tolstoy]

Am I missing something.

Is it the movie with the most votes that wins or is there some other method for counting?

Seven Samurai - (8)
Quiball, Slayton, Holden, Tolstoy, Bluebottle, Revenant, Firegod, ProjectMayhem

Good, Bad, Ugly (aka my new ****list :) )- (7)
Led_Zeppelin, Poeman, Garrett, MichaelMyers, JohnMcClane, JamesBond, Caitlyn

I demand a recount! :)

And in the case there is no recount, I vote for Do The Right Thing

edit: whoever gave me a bad rep point for this post, please stand up if you have the balls.

True, there are very few explosions in those three movies, but they're also very straightforward and simple. Do the Right Thing is a pretty complex film dealing with serious issues in an interesting way. I'd love to see how a young lad processes such a film.

Or not.

[John McClane]

I noticed that too but, didn't really care.

"Not" it is then. Fantastic choice!

[iluv2viddyfilms]

movies should be judged by the ammount of explosions in them. Therefore Dr. Strangelove is the best, because of all the nuclear explosions in the end.

Though Star Wars would be a good movie to argue against it. A planet and a Death Star get blown up in that one.

I haven't seen Midnight Cowboy in a while and I don't remember that much of it, but I do remember quite a bit of Sleepy Hollow. So Sleepy Hollow gets my vote. AND DO THE RIGHT THING SUCKS BECAUSE IT BEAT GB&U!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

Anyway, now that my rant is over, wait, I've already said my vote. Ba-bye.

Im going to have to go with Sleepy Hollow. Just because thats the first movie I had to sneak into for my 13th birthday I think it was. Yep good memories.

[iluv2viddyfilms]

how in the heck Sleepy Hollow could beat one the greatest movies of all time, I have no clue other than that people are voting without having actually seen both of them.


With that said

Midnight Cowboy

[Caitlyn]

Midnight Cowboy

[Movie_Freak768]

Yes I have seen Midnight Cowboy.

[Holden Pike]

Yes I have seen Midnight Cowboy.

And yet you still vote Sleepy Hollow?!? That's rather like standing here on Earth, taking a look at the sun on a clear day vs. a penlight in dense fog and somehow figuring the penlight is the brighter of the two.

I guess it really and truly is to each their own.

[Movie_Freak768]

Well a couple things. First I wasn't to keen on the ending of the film. Second it is my own opinion. Third it just wasn't my type of film.

[Mark]

Midnight Cowboy

This shouldn't even have been close. :rolleyes:

Everybody is entitled to their own opinions, I am just shocked by them sometimes. No harm, no foul.
