Here Today... Gone To Hell!

In "Greatest Movie Survivor", fire represents death, when the Movie's credits roll, the movie goes up in flames, when the names are read, the decision is final and they must leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll go tally the votes.

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, bring me your torch.

The Tribe has spoken.

and the top 5 movies of the 21st century as voted by us are:

#5 - Saw
#4 - Sin City
#3 - The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (voted off 3 in a row so i figured I'd Group them together here)
#2 - Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind


and the champ is:

Memento

alright...so should i continue on through the other decades or is interest pretty much done for this :-\

Ugh, pretty much. This isn't nearly as interesting as the music survivors.

it's memento not momento :P the movie won. it deserves to be wrote the right way  :rofl:

and i'd go with the other decades if you want to

i fixed it :P ...well we'll see how many yay's & nays i get...

we should now do the 90's and 80's what do you think?

Go on Neemo ! I love 80's and 70's pictures, and there's some great ones in the early 90's too : ok:

let's go down Memory Lane :yes:

I was shooting for Sin City to win it.  :) It's nice to see it made the top five.

Well, you don't need to do the 80's.  Just appoint "The Goonies" as the winner and move on.

The 90's would be interesting.

The 70's....slim pickens there...though, luckily, Superman was made in 1978.

The 50's and 60's would be TOUGH, that's for sure. 

I'm in if you have enough interest.

"Best porn movie of all time" poll would be great :love:

I wish you had started this thing off with a better decade. Too much shit in this decade. Thats why there was low interest. Bring on another decade! The 80's would be the best decade. Alot of great stuff. I highly doubt the Goonies would win. Are you kidding?? :nervous: Apocalypse Now? Texas Chainsaw Massacre? The Godfather? Foul Play? Up in Smoke? The list goes on and on......

I agree though. The 90's would be a good one.

This Is Spinal Tap would definitely win. :hihi:

Keep it going, Neemo.  I never participated in this one because I hadn't seen a lot of the movies that made it to the list.

Sorry, that was an attempt at humor.....though, I'll admit, Goonies is probably my favorite popcorn flick of all time.



There are some good movies stashed in there (you forgot Star Wars! :) ), for sure.? But, and this is just MHO, there are just less of them in the '70's than in any other decade I can think of.? Some of the good ones are amazingly good (I actually think The Godfather wins that decade, not Superman...another lame attempt at humor), but, by and large, I look at the 70's as a "less good" decade for cinema compared to the 50's, 60's, 80's, and even the 90's.? Maybe I just need some enlightenment to more good 70's movies.

alright so do we wanna do decades? or just the best ones, like everybody nominate 15?

I'd say the best movies.

Do we have to follow the IMDB again to determine what constitutes a movie?

the only reason we used the IMDB was to determine genres...so if we don't bother with genres then we won't have to use it anymore

Thats definitely a great movie. Although I think Pee Wee's Big Adventure would eliminate it in the early rounds of a Survivor. ;D

Valid points on the 70's. Similar to the 80's in the sense that there are gems buried in a pile of shit.

I am not a fan of 50's and 60's films. A few from the 60's, but definitely not the 50's. Although I do like a movie from the 30's called Freaks. : ok: In my opinion, we should do like the best 15-20 movies from each decade. Screw genres, although I would hate to see a great horror movie get overlooked.

I say go with decades and screw genres.

:)

The question is, what decade do we start with/include?  We certianly have to include the 30's (I mean, c'mon....Wizard of Oz, Gone with the Wind, uncountable other classics) and the 40's (Citizen Kane, I suppose, could just be crowned without a fight...and that's NOT humor :) ).  But should we start more modern and head backwards?

In any event, whatever we choose a thread should be started for nominiations for that decade.

If you think the 2000s was a snoozefest, wait until the 1930's Survivor kicks off. :hihi:

Definitely go with something modern. In my opinion, start with the 90's and go backwards.

Oh, the 60's were awesome. ?My Fair Lady, the Aparment, West Side Story, Lawrence of Arabia, In the Heat of the Night, Oliver, Midnight Cowboy, the Sound of Music...and that's just from the pool of Oscar Winners. Outside of the Oscar winners you've got Bonnie and Clyde, ?Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf, Rosemary's Baby, Goldfinger, ?The Hustler, The Good, The Bad, and The ?Ugly, ?The Graduate, ?Dr. Strangelove, 2001, Cape Fear, ?The Miracle Worker....I could go on and on.

The 50's were not quite as good, but you had Rear Window, Night of the Hunter, On the Waterfront, Kurasowa's best film Rashomon, ?12 Angry Men, ?All about eve, ?The Day the Earth Stood Still, ?Vertigo, An American in Paris, The Greatest Show on Earth, From Here to Eternity, Marty, Around the World in 80 days, Gigi, Ben-Hur, and The Bridge on the River Kwai. ?There's LOTS more too.

Gotta love old movies. :)

i'm thinking that we'll each nominate 15...and work backwards through the 80's and 70's then once we hit 60's well do everything from 1969 back to the beginning of the big screen...how does that sound?

Sounds good but that pool from the 60's back is gonna need to be HUGE. :)

actually i fucked up...saw edged out team america for the 5th spot :hihi: thank god :nervous:
