Let this war song soak you in...

Welcome...

https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca88...JRMl99qcDYYRD0

After four months of bloodshed, bullets and broken hearts, we've finally reached the end of all the horrors. This gruesome war game has ended in 5y ballots, and I'm thankful to all the soldiers present for their service in the line of duty.

THE SOLDIERS: Iroquois, honeykid, Sedai, Jabs, al pacone, CaptainSpaulding, KeyserCorleone, jiraffejustin, Takoma11, Frightened Inmate No. 2, Steve Freeling, CaptainT, Thief, WrinkledMind, Siddon, Yoda, edarsenal, iluv2viddyfilms, LAMb EELYAK, rauldc14, Fabulous, Taz, Wyldesyde19, sawduck, Hey Fredrick, ScarletLion, James D. Gardiner, Act III, cricket, Citizen Rules, John Dumbear, dadgumblah, Little Ash, Harry Lime, MovieFan1988, matt72582, Cobpyth, Wigram, seanc, Deschain, Torgo, kgaard, Kaplan, John-Connor, PHOENIX74, SpelingError, Allaby, Thursday Next, donniedarko, mrblond, Diehl40, Chypmunk, Miss Vicky, Holden Pike, beelzebubble, TheUsualSuspect, John W Constantine

344 movies have been enlisted during this countdown, and the exact results will be revealed shortly. I gotta say that the results are fun to look through. But the most fun was in seeing how much it was changing overtime, as I had a little thing going on where I would watch the top movie I hadn't yet seen everyday that I didn't already have a [plan. Thanks to this, I watched some amazing movies that made my updated ballot and even came close. This has been an incredible experience, and I want to once again thank everyone for their votes, for taking this seriously and for not meme voting any non-war movies that were mistagged as war anyway.

I especially want to thank Yoda for helping me get this set up and SpelingError for his advice and for hosting the group watch thread!

Feel free to discuss things here as much as you want, but do NOT reveal your ballots, or your will be court-martialed for treason.

HINT LEADERBOARD RULES:

This will be based on a points system scoring different points for any of these scenarios:

A: Guessing one right: 1 pt.

B: Guessing both right even though each was already individually guessed: 2 pts.

C: Guessing both right with one film already correctly guessed: 3 pts.

E: Guessing both right and both first: 5 pts.

HINT LEADERBOARD RULES:

Cricket: 21 (A x 16, E x 1)
John-Connor: 10 (A x 5, E x 1)
SpelingError: 6 (A x 1, E x 1)
Wyldesyde: 6 (A x 1, E x 1)
Siddon: 4 (A x 4)
Tuesday Next: 2 (A x 2)
Dadgumblah: 1 (A x 1)
Holden Pike: 1 (A x 1)
JiraffeJustin: 1 (A x 1)
Little Ash: 1 (A x 1)
Miss Vicky: 1 (A x 1)

In before someone complains about the #1 pointers not being listed yet.

In before Mr Minio complains about American cinema and today’s cinema.

Someone should make a war musical where the soldiers sing about killing each other as they're fighting. I wonder how well that would go.

1969, Richard Attenborough. Starring Maggie Smith, Dirk Bogarde, Laurence Olivier, Ralph Richardson, John Gielgud, Jack Hawkins, John Mills, Susannah York, Phyllis Calvert, Jean Pierre Cassel, John Clements, Michael Redgrave, Vanessa Redgrave, and Kenneth More.

Thanks for posting this trailer. I'd heard of this movie but forgot all about its existence. Now I must see it, if only to watch that fantastic cast. If not available, I will wait until it comes to a streaming service near me.

Well, ****. Forgot to vote in this. No reminders. Now I don't care.

I'll echo others on the f@ckin awesome Countdown poster and, quite the cool song by our Host in the ditches, in the skies, and over the seas, Field Marshall @KeyserCorleone -- F@CKIN BRAVO, and of course, THANK YOU


Like a few others, I have one animation as well. I won't post any guesses on how many should, won't, or might make the list because I'm usually wrong lol, and as usual, the plethora of unknown and intriguing gems by Holden Pike have already begun - suhweet

Just on the cast alone, along with it being a British satirical musical about WWI, I swear, that looks too d@mn cool to miss out on. Holy she-ite

At least a couple more days, maybe a few more.

I'm the bottleneck. :) Just a lot of work to do each time to get everything hooked up and working, and a huge chunk of it can't even start until after the ballots are locked, anyway. But I'm hoping this week.

If we're up to a week away, could those of us who haven't submitted a list get a quick one in?

Just wanna say you guys are killing it with the GIFs and references and whatnot in the interim, more than usual, which creates a perverse incentive for me to take my time.

The worst thing about war is the waiting...
The mind-numbing waiting...

OK, but are the one-pointers hooked with the other stuff?
Aren't they clear by now to be revealed so that to while the time?
:shrug:

No one pointers anymore. They've been cancelled.

Me waiting for the countdown to start:

A strange countdown this one has been thus far.

One more day
They said we'd be home for christmas
But I'm still here today
One more day
I went to see the first lieutenant
He said shut up and wait
One more day, no word

SpelingError 08-02-23 08:23 PM
It looks like we're going to start pretty soon. Brace yourself everyone:
