MX's Favourite 52 Films! Round 1: Poll D

[Violent_Bill]

Ten movies, five go through. Vote for no more than five.

[Seafroggys]

Dr Strangelove and Lion King are amazing.

[Against Miik!]

Curse you for putting two Tarantino movies in the same round. And I love Shaun of the Dead, and Hot Fuzz for that matter, but I couldn't vote for it because I didn't wanna vote for 6.

[Violent_Bill]

Luck of the draw...it's just the fleeting luck of the draw.
....

[talk show host]

Dr. Strangelove

[bradc1988]

Forrest Gump
The Lion King
Pulp Fiction
Reservoir Dogs
Toy Story

Finally a poll where I can narrow it down to 5.

[Against Miik!]

If Raging Bull doesn't advance, it will be a travesty to trump all travesties.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Forrest Gump
The Lion King
Pulp Fiction
Raging Bull
Toy Story

[Pop music sucks]

Oldboy
Forrest Gump
Shaun of the Dead
The Lion King
Toy Story

[Joe]

Eh, Dr. Strangelove is overrated. It was pretty good - but I'm not voting for it.

Toy Story
Reservoir Dogs
Raging Bull
Forrest Gump

[radtaste]

Hmm... only Dr. Strangelove or How I Learnt To Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

[2muchket!]

Oldboy
Donnie Darko
Pulp Fiction

[sLarkin20]

Forrest Gump
Shaun of the Dead
Pulp Fiction
Reservoir Dogs
Toy Story

:]

[Collis]

Oldboy for the word!

Shame it's coming last, but due to it being foreign I'm guessing many are put off from watching it.

[ohcleverhansyou]

I don't see what all the fuss about Reservoir Dogs is, it was good, but I didn't find it amazing or anything.

[sLarkin20]

Probably because people like different types of movies, among other things.

[2muchket!]

Crap forgot to vote for Forrest Gump :(

[Mr. Pickle]

Toy Story, guys. Guys, Toy Story.

[willfellmarsy]

Raging Bull
Old Boy...
These 2 are better than any of the other movies that have shown up.
Reservoir Dogs

[static]

the fact that oldboy only has 6 votes shows have ****ing stupid you all are.

[Against Miik!]

I don't see what all the fuss about Reservoir Dogs is, it was good, but I didn't find it amazing or anything.

Reservoir Dogs was cool because it took a stale genre and turned it upside down. It was a movie about a heist that showed everything but the heist.

[sLarkin20]

the fact that oldboy only has 6 votes shows have ****ing stupid you all are.

Majority rules. Those 6 people are the ones that are ****ing stupid. :]

[Mr. Pickle]

Kind of like how Toy Story was a sexual innuendo, but showed everything butt sex.

[willfellmarsy]

Anyone who hasn't seen oldboy...go get it now, watch it with subtitles because the acting is too good to ruin with a dubbed version, and come back. I guarantee you will come back to this board and praise it's glory. It is too good. Toy Story and Lion King are awesome but nowhere near raging bull and oldboy.

[-Listy-]

Pulp Fiction
Toy Story

[Volumnius Flush]

Pulp Fiction easily one of the best movies i've ever seen

[Big Baby Jesus]

I can't say that I remember seeing anything about Oldboy.

[A Dead Modernist]

Old Boy
Pulp Fiction
Raging Bull

[willfellmarsy]

I get it...the best 2 movies get the least amount of votes...it makes perfect sense.

[static]

shaun of the dead? what?

[willfellmarsy]

I understand oldboy not getting the respect it deserves because it's a foreign film...but Raging Bull is much better than any of these...especially Shaun of the Dead...come on mrs.

[TheDMV]

Dr. Strangelove beating Raging Bull? disgraceful

[Big Baby Jesus]

You people need to show Donnie Darko some love, seriously.

[willfellmarsy]

Donnie is good but not in the same league as others on this list...to each his own but if you're a fan of good films go see oldboy...it's a somehwhat older movie that's probably why you haven't seen anything about it.

[Kage]

Oldboy is really well-known on this forum, man, and it's also not an old movie. It came out in 2003.

[willfellmarsy]

If it's well known on this forum more should be voting for it over Shaun of the Dead and Dr. Strangelove...i had no idea when it came out because my friend owns it but i thought it was older than that...my bad.

[Kage]

No worries, bro. I ****in' love Oldboy.

[willfellmarsy]

im gunna make some alternate accounts and vote for oldboy a hundred more times...

[static]

Yeah, I wouldn't.

[Kage]

I'd watch what you say if I were you...these lines are tapped.

[Hedgedive]

Forrest Gump
Raging Bull
Pulp Fiction
Toy Story

[guitarded_chuck]

Dr. Strangelove
Toy Story
The Lion King
Pulp Fiction

[radtaste]

This isn't the "Well Known Films Competition".

[Mr. Pickle]

Yeah, it's the "who votes for Toy Story," and "who are the other fags," competition.

[willfellmarsy]

You obviously didn't read what i was replying to silly goose. It's clearly better than all of these movies minus raging bull so i thought maybe no one had scene it and it wasn't well known. The response to this was that it's well-known on the board so then i responded with the quote u put up.

[radtaste]

This isn't the "greatest film competition".

[Spiney_Norman]

Forrest Gump
Shaun of the Dead
Pulp Fiction
Toy Story
Lion King

Haven't seen Raging Bull yet, but im d/ling it now :)

[Pop music sucks]

Too bad that Oldboy's losing.

[bradc1988]

Not really. Good, not great.

I might acquire Raging Bull as well.

Also yay for the 5 movies I voted be winning.

[Kage]

It doesn't say anything good about this forum that Pulp Fiction is going to win this thing.

[sLarkin20]

You're obviously better then everyone here.

[Joe]

I'm going to have to agree with that - kind of. I'm ok with Pulp Fiction winning. By that much? It's embarrassing.

[Kage]

You're obviously better then everyone here.

Considering I love Pulp Fiction, this comment was completely unnecessary.

I think anyone who has been exposed to a wide array of movies could agree that a consensus saying Pulp Fiction is the best movie is pretty narrow-minded.

[bradc1988]

Hardly.

a) It's favourite list, not best list.
b) People can vote for 5 films, Pulp Fiction will have the most crossover
c) I feel like some spaghetti

[sLarkin20]

That's probably true, so it's a good thing this is a poll asking about favorite movies, and not best movies.

[Big Baby Jesus]

I don't know how many rounds are in this poll, but Rushmore better show up eventually.

It still comes off as douchey and condescending when you question other for voting for their favorite movies.

[sLarkin20]

^

is what I meant, thanks.

[Kage]

Ugh, whatever. This forum sucks.

All I meant to say is it woulda been cool if the results turned out being unique and that this forum might have a different perspective than every other teenage-infested forum ever, but that's just not the case.

[Kage]

That's probably true, so it's a good thing this is a poll asking about favorite movies, and not best movies.

:lol: As if anyone vote any differently if that was the case.

[bradc1988]

Welcome to the internet.

[Kage]

Thanks, bradc! :)

[bradc1988]

:).

[mocha bear]

Oldboy
Shaun of the Dead
The Lion King
Toy Story
Donnie Darko

Haven't seen any of the rest (aside from Pulp Fiction, which is going to win anyway).

[Against Miik!]

Jesus. Raging Bull anyone?

[Joe]

No Scorsese and De Niro love?

[radtaste]

:lol: As if anyone vote any differently if that was the case.

I would have voted differently if it was a best film comp.

:smoke:

[Let's Chop Cats!]

how the **** is Raging Bull losing?

[bradc1988]

Haven't seen it.

[radtaste]

how the **** is Raging Bull losing?

- Viewers can't relate to the main character, also unsympathetic.
- Downer of a film. Unhappy ending (or lack of happy ending).
- Boring plot (arguable, but I think it's fairly standard).
- People haven't seen the film.

[talk show host]

I wouldn't put Raging Bull up there with the best Scorsese but then i've only seen it once.

And I think some people in this thread are seriously overrating Oldboy. It was pretty good but not so good for it to be a crime against humanity for someone to not vote for it, christ.

-DeNiro rocks the ****...watch the scene where he's in the hole or whatever and he starts punching the wall. Pesci threatens to stab his son with a knife...therefore there's some comic relief. :smash:
-Sad ending does not equal a non-favorite film. Raging Bull, American Beauty, Requiem...all personal favorites because of their power, a sad ending doesn't mean it can't or shouldn't b a favorite.
-Fail
-I understand that problem so that's probably the reason (or at least i hope it is for the sake of humanity)
-Extra-DeNiro

AND...it to be a crime against humanity for someone to not vote for Oldboy

[Interstate]

Old Boy
Forrest Gump
Lion King
Pulp Fiction

Eh, I was just thinking up possible reasons for why the film isn't many people's favourite.

But again, I've seen it, I thought it was a great film, but as for being a favourite, not at all. For me, it's probably because I couldn't relate to the De Niro's character, nor the themes. There's no personal attachment for me.

[Joe]

Eh. I think the results of this poll were my favorite of the 4 so far.

Raging Bull is last... VG&M you have failed me.
