[Berandor]

I do!

Round 4 - Tonguez
Round 5 - ShadowDenizen
Round 6 - Wombat
Round 7 - Berandor
Round 8 - Gomez (I will take the last round. Hopefully I can do better than the first!)

Thanks. I can dig round 7 - though I'll probably have to resort to some obscurity...

Drat I missed it! Methinks as this thread gains notice, 20 votes will not be enough. Can we plan on increasing the number of votes accepted once the initial rounds are complete?

For the unofficial record:

1) Empire Strikes Back
2) Galaxy Quest
3) Close Encounters
4) Spiderman
5) Dark City
6) have not seen either one
7) Blade Runner
8) Aliens

I thought there was a ninth choice, but every time I look for it I start to shake and can't focus my eyes...

That sounds like a good idea. How many votes do you think would be good? 30?

 

[WaterMonk]

I would like to see more votes. I just noticed this thread and it reminded me of my MovieBoss days. Except there the voting usually lasted a couple of days to allow for everyone who wanted to vote.

 

[MonsterMash]

Maybe make it 30 votes, or 40 tops. but needs to be kept tight so that the rounds don't take too long to complete,

My 2c anyway.

[Wombat]

I do!

Round 4 - Tonguez
Round 5 - ShadowDenizen
Round 6 - Wombat
Round 7 - Berandor
Round 8 - Gomez (I will take the last round. Hopefully I can do better than the first!)

Hmmm, I will have to put on a serious thinking cap, given all the good movies used to date

 

[Tonguez]

Indeed so Wombat here's an eccletic bunch since finding a suitable second for a pair is harder than it sounds so:


1.(Disneys) Sleeping Beauty (1959) vs (Disneys) Beauty and the Beast (1991)

2. Cyrano De Bergerac (1990) vs The Scarlet Pimpernel(1934)

3 Nosferatu (1922) vs Dracula (1931)

4 The Big Chill (1983) vs The Breakfast Club (1985)

5 A Man Called Horse (1970) vs Little Big Man (1970)

6 West Side Story (1961) vs Romeo and Juliet (1996)

7 Petes Dragon (1977) vs Pufnstuf (1970)

8 Carrie(1976) vs Scanners (1981)

 

[Abraxas]

4-1

1. Sleeping Beauty (1959) - I just like the old animation better, especially Maleficent in dragon form.

2. Haven't seen either, Cyrano De Bergerac (1990) - because I don't watch any films with Depardieu in them vs The Scarlet Pimpernel(1934) - way before my time and never had the chance.

3. Dracula (1931) - Tough, very tough, but ya gotta love Bela.

4. The Big Chill (1983) - Better music, plus I only like 3 of JH's movies

5. Haven't seen either

6. West Side Story (1961) - Because Leo's only good acting was in What's Eating Gilbert Grape.

7. Pufnstuf (1970) - Just Because

8. Scanners (1981) - We need more movies with exploding heads.<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

Round 4-2
1. Sleeping Beauty (too jaded in my ancient years for BatB)
2. The Scarlet Pimpernel (yes, it's privilege for the royalty, but Benny Hill did a "Scarlet Pimple" routine, so what the hell)
3. Nosferatu
4. The Breakfast Club (pit me against the Boomers, will you? Guess who loses.)
5. Little Big Man (less martial arts)
6. West Side Story (not a fan of musicals, but I've been familiar with the Jets Vs. Sharks feud since I was a kid)
7. Seen both, won't approve either
8. Ack! What do I choose? Scanners, by a filament of brain matter.
