The MoFo Top 100 of the Nineties Countdown
http://imageshack.us/a/img842/3764/dydk.jpg The Mofo Top 100 of the Nineties Here we are, months later, and we finally have a list. Looking at the list I get the feeling that what we're dealing with here is something special, something that glows with such illumination, power and mystery that it needs to be stored in a vault...or even a briefcase of sorts. http://imageshack.us/a/img94/1756/m3r7.jpg But rather than keep it all to myself I might as well start posting. Sure, I toyed with the idea of keeping it back for awhile while you all discussed animal cruelty - but that wouldn't be fair. 54 lists with a total of 416 individual movies! That's quite the achievement so give yourselves a pat on the back. Those of you reading this that didn't submit a list, don't give yourself a pat on the back. Why are you here? Get out! Now before I get started I would like to acknowledge those films that got only one point. That's right, one single, measily point. Someone thought to add the movie at the end of their list, maybe strategically or maybe not, but that would be the only vote these films would receive. A Very Brady Sequel Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey Dead Alive High Art Jidlo Khrustalyov, My Car! Lone Star Manhattan Murder Mystery Moloch Mother Dao, The Turtlelike Primal Fear Quiz Show Run Lola Run Sniper The Prophecy Universal Soldier The films were first ranked based on the amount of points they received. Members submitted their top 25 lists and the films listed were awarded points accordingly: 25 for 1st, 24 for 2nd, and so on until 1 point for 25th place. If there was a tie in total points then it would be decided on which film appeared on the most lists, and this did happen. If they tied in the number of lists they were on then it would be decided on which film had the highest ranking on a submitted list, and this did happen. If they were still tied after that both films were disqualified...or it would be decided on their next highest ranking on a submitted list, and this did happen. But that's it, it never went further than that. A list of members who submitted a list can be found here: http://www.movieforums.com/community...d.php?p=874804 A big thanks to Yoda and Daniel M for helping out.

Re: The Mofo Top 100 of the Nineties Countdown
I am a little surprised that Universal Soldier and Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey didn't get more than one vote. Also, I am responsible for Sniper I had a feeling it should have been higher on my list.

Con Air is a good flick.

Re: The Mofo Top 100 of the Nineties Countdown
Yeah, it's an odd first pairing that's for sure.

A Taiwanese Fantasy/Musical called "Dong"? I'm sold.

I did not vote for any of these movies, which means that every single one of the movies I did vote for got at least one other vote. This gives me hope! Really surprised I was the only one with Quiz Show on my list. That's a good movie, dang it! :cool: Don't like Con Air and haven't seen the other, but it looks interesting. So glad this has started. Yea! :D |
