Thanks!


And as far as sharing the victory with you, as tempting as it is, I will decline it. Why? Because I like the idea of having the win dedicated to me a lot more!

I'm surprised to see Eddie and the Cruisers ranked so low. It was one of my favorite movies in this HoF, and I even considered nominating it. (Although maybe that explains it's low ranking.)

Sweet Dreams is another movie that I'm surprised came in so low. (Did you guys all watch the same movies that I watched? )

Congratulations @edarsenal on your first HoF win.

This was my # 1 vote, very sad to see it finish so low.

The Jazz Singer #1? Seriously?

You did a great job, Silent Vamp, thank you so much for running this Hall of Fame, I really enjoyed it. Because of it, I was exposed to two films that I absolutely LOVED...The Commitments and The Idolmaker, so thanks again.

This was great fun, lots of good movies and hopefully you'll do another one.

Here's my voting list

1 Walk the Line
2 Amadeus
3 The Wall
4 The School of Rock
5 La Bamba
6 The Buddy Holly Story
7 Coal Miner’s Daughter
8 The Jazz Singer
9 Ray (Taylor Hackford, 2004)
10 Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny
11 The Idolmaker
12 The Commitments
13 Sweet Dreams
14 Eddie and the Cruisers

no wonder the ranking. Completely different kind of musical. It's more like a rock opera or long video clip. But i like it

Only fifth place I can't believe it.

but considering what's on 3rd, 2nd and 1st place, it's fine. I would probably rank it in 1st place

this was a cool HOF with excellent hosting and noms.

Anybody else going to post their voting list? It's nice to see how the films did with each member.

If there is enough interest by anyone who was in this HoF, and if there is anyone who is interested in joining a second one (who didn't join the first one), then there will definitely be another one in the future.


My list:

1. Amadeus
2. La Bamba
3. Ray
4. Walk the Line
5. School of Rock
6. The Commitments
7. The Buddy Holly Story
8. The Idolmaker
9. Tenacious D
10. The Jazz Singer
11. Sweet Dreams
12. Coal Miner's Daughter
13. Eddie and the Cruisers
14. The Wall

I'm not. I'd be surprised if it wasn't last place.

As one reviewer wrote about it on IMDB

I didn't think it would win, but I was hoping it would rank a little higher than it did.

I'm interested in another and a DEDICATION to @SilentVamp is VERY WELL DESERVED

thanks Gideon, I didn't expect too much for The Wall when I sent it in as a nom. I was rooting for The Commitments to score higher.

Yes, seriously.

When I first saw The Jazz Singer back when it was originally in the movie theaters, I had no idea who Neil Diamond was. I didn't want to see the movie because I thought it was just some religious movie about a cantor, but my friend and I had a deal where we each took turns choosing the movie, and it was her turn, so I went to see it.

I loved the movie, and I came out of the theater in love with his voice, and he almost immediately became one of my favorite singers. I have since bought almost every album he ever recorded, and I have seen him in concert numerous times.

I still love the movie, and I've probably seen it hundreds of times.
