SciFi/Horror Hall Of Fame (actual)

WELCOME TO THE SCIFI/HORROR HALL OF FAME

All the hall of fame rules apply: nominate a movie, watch all the nominations, send me your votes of all the films in ranked order.

The deadline is December 21. I threw in an extra week or two because of all the HOFs that are going on at the same time.

If I don't complete all the movies because of work, I will NOT vote. I will, however, keep track of everyones votes and do intend to TRY to watch all the movies.

There has been a fair amount of interest in this, we have Eleven nominations! Thats a couple more than I expected. LOL!

Anyway....the participants are as follows:
Iroquois
Guaporense
The Usual Suspect
Thursday Next
Sane
Destiny
Funny Face
Sci Fi Slob
Cricket
Citizen Rules
Teeter_G

Thank you all for your participation and input. Together I think we can make this a fantastic hall of fame that everyone will be sorry that they missed.

* I had to sneak a little bit of cheesy-ness in there. Seriously though, have fun, its a game.

Wait, did nobody nominate The Thing after all that?

I'm pretty sure the Thing won the Sci-Fi HoF so it's ineligible.

I already nominated The Thing, and it won. It can't be nominated again.

Ah, I must have missed that announcement. Carry on, then.

Destiny won the Sci Fi Hof with The Thing.

Sci Fi Hof Winner

Teeter thanks for running this! awesome films too!

You say November 1 for a deadline that's only 27 days to watch 11 films and there are other Hofs running, I'm in 2 others. Maybe you can extend the deadline to 11-12 weeks from today? Or how about Dec 1st for the completion date? What does everyone else think of that?

Doesn't sound bad to me, if everyone else agrees I will change completion date to December 1st.

Alien has got this in the bag.

Suspect's Reviews

It's not the winning, it's the taking part that counts.

I think the HoFs would be better if nobody knew who "sponsored" a film. I guess whoever's running it would have to know, but in a perfect world, they wouldn't know either. Ever.

That's eight weeks. I suppose that'll work. They normally give one week per movie, when setting these up, but it does usually seem like a bit too much.

Shhhhhhhhh!!!

What she said!

I have decided I am going to extend the end date. It is in the original post now.

That's a great idea actually. Only the person running it should know who nominated what. Then it would remove any potential biases from associating a movie with a person.

The movies I haven't seen yet are Sunshine, Cube, Pandorum, and Event Horizon. They'll have a tough time breaking into my top 7 because the others are all awesome.

The Invasion of the Body Snatchers - 1978 - Philip Kaufman
The Hidden - 1987 - Jack Sholder
The Fly - 1986 - David Cronenberg
Alien - 1979 - Ridley Scott

I only own/have seen, those four. They are in order, from favorite, to least favorite. We will have to see if I fall in love with anything else.

I never remember who nominated a film anyway! And I don't like or dislike anyone enough to give or take points based on who nominated it. (Besides, if there's a lone anime, you could probably guess who nominated it without being told). I think if it was all secret people would spend a lot of time trying to guess who nominated what and/or not talking up 'their' movie so that people don't guess rather than just watching the movies.
