Title: Neemo's Greatest Movie of All-Time Survivor (1990's Nominations)
Post by: Neemo on November 02, 2006, 03:45:47 PM
Ok we're gonna change it up and forget about the genre's. I think it made it too long and drawn out and as a result interest suffered for the 21st century....so yeah, nominate your 15 favorite Movies of the 1990's. I had a hard time picking on 15 so make sure you get all the ones you want. :peace:

(http://i2.tinypic.com/20acps5.jpg)

My Nominations:

American History X
Braveheart
Fight Club
Forrest Gump
Goodfellas
Interview with the Vampire
Pulp Fiction
Se7en
Terminator 2: Judgment Day
The Shawshank Redemption
The Silence of the Lambs
The Usual Suspects
Tombstone
Trainspotting
Young Guns II: Blaze of Glory (I dunno why, just an awesome flick i still watch it regularily :hihi: )

Remember, No Documentaries, Live Concerts, Stand-Up Comedies, or Television Episodes. Remasters and special editions still count as orig movies....use the orig release dates

I will leave this thread open till Friday, November 10th. Come up with your own list of the top 15 Movies of the 1990's. After Nominations are complete we'll will start voting off our least favorites.

Post by: Neemo on November 03, 2006, 08:14:12 AM
yeah there are so many good movies i wanted to include, i'm not a fan of huge longwinded dramas like Schindler's List, while it may be an excellent film just not enought to hold my attention for the duration so i excluded it. ?some other films i considered Casino (also discarded cuz i usually lose interest about midway :hihi: don't even get me started on Costner's "epics" :rofl: ); Edward Scissorhands; Heat; Kalifornia; Mars Attacks; The Basketball Diaries; True Romance; Twelve Monkeys; Untamed Heart; What's Eating Gilbert Grape. I forgot about Birdcage and The Crow :-X This is exactly why i started the survivor with genres cuz when you start sifting through the movies there is a shitload that you'd otherwise forget :-\

3) The Lion King

I knew there was a better Disney one than Aladdin that I forgot... had to edit my list.

This is exactly why i started the survivor with genres cuz when you start sifting through the movies there is a shitload that you'd otherwise forget :-\

This is Neemo's way of saying "I told you so." :;)

haha i'm too nice to be that blunt ;D 25 is way too much to have the brain process 10 is ideal but i think narrowing down our lists by 5 more is just cruel :hihi:

so do are we wanna backtrack and revert to genres? or carry on like this? :hihi: :confused:

Post by: pilferk on November 03, 2006, 09:03:07 AM
I'm OK with this way....it makes it tough, for sure, but more intersting in a way, too.  You really have to think about what you're going to put up on your list.
