Argghh!!! Kong did sorry job. For the most part your taste is better than Kong thought (your appreciation for Ritchie's Swept Away had thrown Kong off).

Why so suspicious

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.

Okay, here are the answers.

Titanic L EVERYONE GOT THIS ONE WRONG!
Casualties of War D AS WELL AS THIS ONE.
The Postman L GUILTY PLEASURE ALL THE WAY. GO KC!
Rabbit Proof Fence L ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AUSSIE FILMS IN THE LAST 10 YEARS!
Batman D WHO WROTE THIS CRAP?
The Mummy Returns D BAD DOESN'T EVEN COME CLOSE.
Papillon L STEVE McQUEENS FINEST ROLE, AND HOFFMAN...NEED I SAY MORE?
My Big Fat Greek Wedding D MAYBE IF I HAD BOOBS, I'D LIKE IT BETTER.
Support Your Local Sherrif L FUNNY, FUNNY, FUNNY.
Nightmare on Elm Street D PLEASE GOD, NO MORE POINTLESS SLASHER FLICKS. PLEASE!!!
Bringing Up Baby L GRANT, HEPBURN, AND A MONKEY??? CLASSIC.
Silent Running L BRING SOME NO-DOZE, THIS MOVIES A SLEEPER.
Planet of the Apes (1968) D SORRY NERD TROOP #326.
Heat D ZZZzzz...
Manny & Lo L THE YOUNGER GIRL REMINDS ME OF MY OLDEST.
The Ballad of Cable Hogue L NEVER HEARD OF IT? LOSER!!!
E.T. D I SAW THIS ON OPENING DAY WHEN I WAS JUST A TYKE, AND I HATED IT THEN!!!
The Dark Crystal L MY FAVORITE KIDS MOVIE. EASY!
Airplane II D THEY MESSED UP THE FIRST AIRPLANE'S LEGACY WITH THIS ONE.
The Lighthorsemen D GREAT CAVALRY CHARGE, BUT THAT'S ALL.

So, here's the number's...

KONG 12
MARK 11
ANNIE 10
PIDDY 10
HONDO 10
BEALE 9
MF20 6

And the winner is Mark, since Kong's already had a go at it. Sorry Annie, so close. At least no one will accuse us of cheating.

Dang! I came within one both times! But since LordSlaytan has proclaimed me the default winner, I'll accept.

I'll post my list this afternoon (pacific standard time). I have some errands to run

God damnit!!! Ok, next one I'll do better... But I will have to applaude Lord for picking ten L's and ten D's. What do you say about making this a rule??

I was thinking that every five-10 turns a person can still participate, but if they win in that amount of time, the win doesn't count. My idea. I put this to Kong to decide because he started the thread.
