The gun battle on the street is awesome.

 

[Terminator]

Yeah, a bit unbelievable, so many bullets flying everywhere and hardly anyone getting hit.
I just like the way Pacino acted in it, he's so f**kin cool.

 

[gorilla with a shotgun]

thoughts on Happy Gilmore?

 

[Tommy Smith]

Hmmm, obviously alot of it comes down to opinion; but that notwithstanding i refuse to vote until Strange Than Fiction is replaced with The Seven Samurai.

Disclaimer: I apologise if it is on the list and i have just overlooked it...

 

[akazie]

Debbie does Dallas?

Nah, The Devil in Miss Jones (1973)

 

[Misanthrope]

Seven Samurai definitely deserves its place. I'll try and find room for it, and possibly Happy Gilmore.

 

[Red Bear]

sure almost famous is in there?

 

[Misanthrope]

Group 29

 

[simmo1]

Surely Jurassic Park gets a gig? Wasn't it like a Top5 grossing film when it was released?

 

[McLovin]

Glitter is a glaring omission...

 

[Misanthrope]

How could I forget Glitter!? I clearly need to add Crossroads, Gigli, and Plan 9 from Outer Space as well :crazy:

Scarface dominates its group. Gangster movies are clearly popular here. I won't be surprised to see Pulp Fiction, which is somewhat gangster itself, go through by a mile as well.

 

[2 True Blues]

That list is a huge embarrassment with so many glaring omissions but what's worse is half of the movies that made the list are utter dog sh*t.

:crazy: :sarcasm:

 

[2 True Blues]

I started looking in my cupboard and it was too much of a task to pick the best:
I never got past " C " on my shelves.

Close In Counters of the Third Kind, Cape fear, Carlitto's Way, Catch Me if you can, Constantine, Colors, Coach Carter, City By the Sea, Clear and present Danger, Crimson Tide, Copland, Conspiracy Theory, Crash, Conan ( may be possibly the worst movie ever made ), Casualties of war, Cross Of Iron, and Castaway,

There is too many. !!!

Did Dances with Wolves make the list ?? cant remember. Its the first of the " D " s in my shelf.

 

[2 True Blues]

Dances With Wolves was an awesome movie !! Is the Greenmile there also ??

 

[2 True Blues]

Just spotted the green Mile. cool. The thin Red Line and Tombstone are good value too.

 

[Misanthrope]

Group nine is complete. Group 10 to come

 

[Misanthrope]

Boogie Nights added to group eighteen. If there are any (serious) requests for a film to be added to polling, let me know.

 

[2 True Blues]

Dances with wolves in a second request group mate !! ?? ( jokin of coarse though ).
