      Tiamat's right: Tombstone is money, too!

      What is best in life? Crush your enemy! See him driven before you. And to hear the lamentation of his women.

          One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
          Braveheart
          Arsenic and Old Lace
          Terminator
          The Usual Suspects
          Die Hard...hero that gets hurt a lot? Original
          Princess Bride
          Uncle Buck

          Bachelor Party( Tom Hanks' BEST film)



          The worst? (most over-hyped anyway)

          The Matrix(acting? what's acting?)
          Blair Witch Project(Girl in the film swears worse than a sailor, I know, I was one)

          ANY Quentin Tarentino movie!

          Movie I thought was better than everybody said:

          Last Action Hero( although I did have low expectations for it)
          Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

              I thought the same thing, but I also had real low expectations also.

              My fav Arnold movie, "True Lies"

              I'm surprised Kelly's Heroes hasn't shown up yet. Ok, add it to my Sunday morning list. ALONG WITH PRINCESS BRIDE and Fifth Element

              RAH

              My list for the best serious movies would be too long, but most of them have been mentioned already.

                    OK, i'm closing up the nominating portion now (i've already made a huge table of all these movies..i think we have MORE than enough to get us started). i have a few questions though in light of some ambiguous responses :
                    Cruel Intentions was good - but SMG was too much of a damn tease...I was hoping for some serious T&A. Wild Things - now THAT'S greatness
                    david floyd: do you count those as a votes/nominations?

                    I just saw it on TV the other day. Pretty good. It's got Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway in it.
                    Tingkai: is this a nomination?

                    movies with great scenes
                    saving private ryan - beach scene
                    Enemy at the gates - beginning, and most battle scenes. not the crappy love scenes
                    Final fantasy, not scenes as such but it is a very wellmade movie, ohwell, maybe it should be up there
                    Dune original, it's sandworms were fantastic
                    Usually Insane: are these official nominations or just comments?

                    Kamrat: Which Coen Brothers movies. I'm not familiar with sepcific titles off the top of my head(and i'm not looking them up)

                    Lola Rennt
                    Juggernaut: do you mean Run Lola Run?

                    RAH: I agree with you suggesting categories. We'll do a general movie overall, but i'd also like to add a few others...this will be almost like the POly Oscars..lol. anyway..here are some i'm thinking about (any other ideas for categories please pm me so as not to clog the thread):

                    best drama
                    comedy
                    action flick
                    "chick flick"
                    Kid's movie
                    sci'fi
                    really fookin weird movie!
                    RAH's Hung over Movie (in honor of his newly elected position )
                    Ming's Movie

                    i think that's enough to keep both you...and me very busy....but any more suggestions, just pm me

                        whew! I've not got a complete and working database of the nominated movies to work from. tomorrow (at some point ). bBcause best film will take longer than the other categories (the others will be one time votes to save complication) below is a list of the Best Films Ballot. Choose your top ten in no specific order (and then from there, ill organize run offs and what not).
