Whoever voted for the Dalmatians should be shamed of themselves

by **Crimey** Tue Jun 21, 2011 3:02 pm

by Adam D Tue Jun 21, 2011 5:49 pm

I am amazed that 6th sense is doing so badly.

by AberdeenSteve Wed Jun 22, 2011 4:32 am

Watched Lock Stock last night, I forgot how brilliant Vinnie Jones' character is.

by President Trump Wed Jun 22, 2011 5:28 am

That's brilliant Hero Laugh

by President Trump Wed Jun 22, 2011 5:53 am

thats super

by Unknown Brother Wed Jun 22, 2011 12:08 pm

Super 8 is better than all these films.

by asdral225 Wed Jun 22, 2011 1:40 pm

Sorry Unknown Brother, 12 Angry Men ( Henry Fonda version) is a classic than can very rarely be touched by any film.
The interaction between the characters within the jury room and the way each juror in turn changes his mind on the verdict and in the end how discussion overcomes racism and bigotry. The film was made in 1957 when these subjects were just beginning to surface.
The nominations and awards it won is as long as your arm, if you have never seen the film it is one that you should make an effort to watch, filmed in black and white with a very strong cast although you may not recognise some of the actors names. Henry Fonda. Lee J Cobb. Jack Warner. Jack Klugman. Martin Balsam

by compelling and rich Wed Jun 22, 2011 3:39 pm

se7en is by far and away the best film on that list, cant believe some of the voting

by **ADMIN** Wed Jun 22, 2011 3:42 pm

Agree that of all of them that 12 Angry Men is by far and away the greatest (and it wasn't my choice).

by compelling and rich Wed Jun 22, 2011 3:46 pm

not seen 12 angry men to be fair, or 16 candles. seen the rest though

by Adam D Wed Jun 22, 2011 3:48 pm

16 candles is awesome and got one of my votes - it wasnt my film either!

by Adam D Thu Jun 23, 2011 3:30 am

Quick heads up for next weeks nominations - I am on holiday so send your nominations to Hero AND YI Man in my absence - they will sort things.

The category is - Films with the main characters name in the title.

So for example, "Debbie does Dallas" would qualify as Debbie is the star of the film. It has to be the name of the character (ie not a nickname like the Godfather)

Send your top3 nominations.

by Adam D Thu Jun 23, 2011 4:46 am

One of our competitors nominated possibly the greatest film ever with a number in it:

2 Girls, 1 cup.

I would have voted for it! Take a bow son!

by **ADMIN** Thu Jun 23, 2011 5:10 am

Never heard of that film, I'll do a search for it now.

I have just heard of a news report saying that a police swarm has surrounded a building in Macclesfield....more details to follow

by President Trump Thu Jun 23, 2011 5:27 am

Its not as funny as 1 man 1 Jar Erm

by AberdeenSteve Thu Jun 23, 2011 5:29 am

Hobo; why wasn't that video on the list? It would have been a runaway winner!

If that's what turns you on Steve. But not for me. :sick:

Sent my choices to Hero and Y I Man.

by The Galveston Giant Fri Jun 24, 2011 8:29 am

by GG Tue Jun 28, 2011 11:52 am

by **Derbyblue** Wed Jun 29, 2011 10:06 am

Shouldn't this poll have closed and round 6 be put up by now?

by **ADMIN** Wed Jun 29, 2011 10:10 am

Yeah it'll be up tonight.

by Adam D Sat Jul 02, 2011 9:44 am

Sorry about the delay - I have been on holiday and Hero and YI were too busy organising a p1ss up in a brewery apparently.

Will put it up on Monday after I get them to send me the nominations!

by AberdeenSteve Sat Jul 02, 2011 12:56 pm

About time, bloody staff these days .. Whistle

by **Pal Joey** Sat Jul 02, 2011 2:07 pm

Where was Catch 22?

"Save the bombadier!"

"I am the bombadier...!?"

A 'B-Grade' Classic or a lower 'A Grade' film depending on how you like that sort of thing...

by westybeast Mon Jul 04, 2011 1:45 pm

12 angry men is a fantastic old film - on alimited budget. 6th sense is very good.

3 amioos not good - 51st state a lot worse !!!

by asdral225 Mon Jul 04, 2011 4:25 pm

Quite right westybeast 12 Angry Men is a fantastic old film

by Thomond Thu Jul 07, 2011 10:37 am

When you say 101 Dalmations are you talking about the animated one or the live action one.

As usual I ask the questions that people really care about.

by Adam D Thu Jul 07, 2011 10:48 am

OKAY - we are going to draw a veil over the last round and start again from Monday.

So for the next round of penultimate nominations, I want you to submit your favourite film franchises (has to have had at least 2 sequels).

Get me your top 3 nominations ASAP and I will update the scores and start again.

by MtotheC's Wrasslin Biatch Thu Jul 07, 2011 11:19 am

Frigg off - I had the best one!

by **Derbyblue** Thu Jul 07, 2011 3:03 pm

BOOOO you can't just cancel a round!

by Adam D Wed Jul 13, 2011 11:11 am

It is with great regret that I must announce the demise of the movie cup.

I left it in the capable hands of Hero and YI and it never recovered.

I only had half of the nominations needed this week so its the end I am afraid.

by **Pal Joey** Wed Jul 13, 2011 11:14 am

How about half an Osprey's jersey instead? Wink

by **Derbyblue** Wed Jul 13, 2011 5:44 pm

Boom I win!

by Bull Wed Jul 13, 2011 6:56 pm

this was a conspiracy by Hero!!!! against me i was catching up to him to pass him !!!

p.s sad to see this go
