The WZ Movie Tournament

[Papa Shango]

Fuck all that. Deer Hunter fucking owns

Hell-to-the-yeah! Found the Collector's Edition at Best Buy for 10 bucks. Christopher Walken is an acting gawd.

 

[Papa Shango]

I'm a movie buff, possibly even more than I am of wrestling, so I'll definitely be in there for the discussions.

KB FTW.


I'm not quite sure what I'd do if Pulp Fiction went up against Goodfellas. Abstain, probably. Or slit my wrists, so I wouldn't have to watch one go over the other.

 

[Monkey_Mania]

The Lion King
Seven


Those two better be in there. I will cry if they arent.

Have you talked with Echelon about this? He already brought this up.

I think Jake was also thinking about doing this

Beauty and the Beast and Phildelphia I've added.

Same with Juno.

A Beautiful Mind I'll keep on standby. Other than critics, I've never really met anyone who thought it was so outstanding.

 

[Papa Shango]

What, No Saw?


For Shame

I'd be more sympathetic to it's cause, if it hadn't spawned so many truly atrocious sequels, with more on the way.

Big Daddy FTW

I'll think about it.

You're wasting your time with most of those films. You don't want forum members to pick the films. That way you'll get personal favourites. People might pick The Gofather, but it won't generate nearly as much discussion as Saw. Annie Hall, Kramer vs. Kramer, Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang might be great films. But they wouldn't spark any intrest at all.

Exorcist and The Sting are already in there. All The President's Men I added. Patton also.

I guess I'll add all your 80's ones two. They're good movies. I just don't see them holding up well against some other movies.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

About 3 people on this forum have heard of Patton, let alone watched it.

 

[Papa Shango]

People might pick The Gofather, but it won't generate nearly as much discussion as Saw. Annie Hall, Kramer vs. Kramer, Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang might be great films. But they wouldn't spark any intrest at all.

That depends on what your idea of discussion is. Sure, if I put Saw in there, it'd probably get a lot of people in there. But odds are half the people in there will be going "Yeah Saw rulz everything els is gaaayyy." And the other half would be people like me, making all the Saw fans cry by pointing that they're favorite movie is a piece of crap.

Hopefully, I can get people like you, and Ech, and Sly, to come in and discuss movies like Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang and Being John Malkovich. That way, there's some thorough discussion, and could possibly get some of the other posters to actually try and give a good argument. If nobody votes for them, oh well. But at least they've seen people talking about it, and may go out and see the movie for themselves.

 

[BooCocky]

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest should win this..

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Why would people suddenly start posting ''Yeah Saw Rulez'' when they don't currently?

With films that nobody has seen you'll just get votes and no discussion. The purpose of the forum is to discuss, not vote in random polls. That's just pointless. Adding films that are popular will add more to the forum, than films with critical acclaim.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest should win this..

It wouldn't stand a chance.

 

[Papa Shango]

^ ^
I agree. It's a great movie, but it's not as popular other 70's movies like Star Wars, Rocky, or The Godfather.

That's why I'm trying to add as many films as possible that are BOTH popular AND critically acclaimed.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

You should do popular only. Anyway, I said no to this.

 

[Papa Shango]

Well, personally, I'd still like to give this a try. If it doesn't work out well, oh well. But if it does go well, fantastic.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

You can do it. But not for a couple of months.

 

[Papa Shango]

I figured that would be the case. I just wanted to get started setting it up.

I am super down. SUPER. You need any nominations, drop me a PM.
