Best Ever Movie - Round Two

[David Floyd]

I only read books that are considered classic, although I don't always like them (Will Faulkner). It usually means the writer knows what they were doing or was interesting enough to make a lasting impression on people.

Interesting. When picking a (fiction) book, I simply look at the subject matter - if it sounds interesting, I pick it up, and if I enjoy the book, I look for others by the same author. That is, I'm more interested in MY interests and MY likes/dislikes than those of other people, even those considered "experts".

[David Floyd]

Naw, it's gotta be more than that. Your comment was unprovoked, out of nowhere, obviously meant to antagonize, and, well, "ridiculous."

I'm just giving you my summation of some of the movies on the list, just like you felt a need to rag on "Matrix".

Not too sure how you mean that... Titanic is one of my favorite films.

****!!!! It's 3:00am! Gotta get some

Well, I guess you have to find people to consult who think like you. Jane Austen is my favorite author, so, well, I guess I think like your fake experts.

You men are so unpredictable.

Huh? What are you talking about??

P.S. I like Austen as well. Still, I don't get what you're saying.

Edit: Added quote after X-post.

I was addressing David. Sorry.

Cool. And by no means am I saying this is bad, or that you are wrong. I'm just saying that I PERSONALLY like other things, in spite of what you and others say.

[JohnT]

Ahhhhhh.

Glad to be so unpredictable. Did you see my choices in the "movies you secretly watch" thread? Beauty and the Beast and The English Patient were on my list... two other films that aren't exactly aimed at the testosterone set.

[tandeetaylor]

Do your smilies mean that you forgive me for all the old ugliness of the past? I always get hurt when people criticize me, even if I just act like I'm mad. sigh.... I'm so misunderstood.... Hey, we need a dramatic smiley.

[JohnT]

Ugliness? You mean our argument of 5 months, 12 days, and 14 hours ago? I'd forgotten all about that...

But seriously, there's nothing to forgive. We just debated, that's all - there's nothing personal about it.

[Frozzy]

Debating is generic.

Arguing != Debating

Arguing = Personal attacks

[Zevico]

Why isn't Cabaret on this list

[Berzerker]

I think Frozzy's point is that he counted only the original votes, not the amended ones. Changing votes was a means of manipulating the system.

My change was only in response to others who gave all 10 of their votes to one movie, a manipulation I and others complained about and Frozzy ignored - so he invalidated his own poll by not enforcing his own rule of "dividing" up 10 points among favorite movies and then by not counting a movie that qualified for the second round using the rules he allowed.

Anyway, I still vote for Patton and since that movie did win something like 8 Academy Awards I feel justified.

Fight Club Wtf are you people thinking?

[Frozzy]

10/1 = 10.
