Since 7thson's perfectly fine game ended up as another "let's discuss our favourite movies" thread, I thought I'd give the original idea another shot. And, yes, I have 7thson's permission to use his idea.
The rules are simple:
1. Name a film that you love and that you have gotten the impression that everybody else love too.
2. If another MoFoer does not like that movie or only thinks it is average, that person posts the reason(s) to why he/she does not like it. (If you do like the movie, keep it to yourself or start your own thread
).
3. After you have told us all why you didn't like the movie, you post another one yourself. Only rule: you have to like it A LOT and assume that most people would agree with you.
4. If no one has objected to the film within, say, 2-3 days - we have a MoFo classic on our hands. (Maybe we should list all these selections somewhere. What do you think?). The person responsible of posting the little miracle simply posts another one and the game continues.
Ok, I'll start.

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.
