Paid Members PunkStep Posted February 22, 2012 Paid Members Posted February 22, 2012 When we got to the top 3 I assumed Fight Club and Shawshank were still coming, and that one of them would top the list.....but I have absolutely no idea what the other one's going to be. A lot of people seem to think Rocky but I definitely think that one would split the votes too much between the original, 3 and 4. I'm hoping for a comedy but like I said before I think comedy is too subjective to get enough people voting for the same one. I think all of my top 5 have appeared now though so I'm pretty happy with that. My predictions for number 1 are either Scarface, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Anchorman or Monty Python's Life of Brian. I would've thought Oldboy. Oldboy's the nerds film of choice and as it hasn't made the list so far I'd be amazed if it didn't turn up anywhere. Unless it is on the list and I've missed it - then oops. I'd wager many on here haven't seen Oldboy, I haven't. For a wrestling forum, folk on here aren't that nerdy. I'd love for #1 to be Scarface, it's my favourite film of all time, but I don't see it happening.

Did you vote? Because a number 1 placing even from just one person seemed to put a film pretty close to making the top 50, and I can't imagine nobody else voted for it.
Paid Members PunkStep Posted February 22, 2012 Paid Members Posted February 22, 2012 Nope, I swear Gladders gave us a tiny window for us to send in our top 10! Gonna post mine after like everyone else will.

It'd better bloody not be Oldboy, I watched it about a year or two ago based on the rave reviews it kept getting on here and thought it was dreadful.
Loki Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 When I watched Oldboy it felt like what a teenage boy thinks an art house film should be. Foreign, weird, but loads of violence. I thought it was quite good, but was struggling to work out what the fuss was about. The fact the guy looked like a young Haku didn't help. I wouldn't put it up there with Beat Takeshi's work.

Paid Members Burchill's Buddy Posted February 22, 2012 Paid Members Posted February 22, 2012 I didn't vote, but it's going to be Reservoir Dogs judging all the rest of QT's favoured works have already charted and it's very rare to see that or Pulp Fiction in the same chart with the other absent. I was going to suggest that, but I thought I remembered Gladders saying pulp Fiction was the only QT film in the countdown
kendal mint cake Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Remember that totally awesome Blood Brothers mixtape that I posted up a few pages back? There's a sequel Haven't had a listen as yet but I think it might actually be even better than the first from the looks of the tracklisting. That's fucking excellent. Giving it a listen now and the mixing is smooth as fuck. Great find.
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted February 22, 2012 Moderators Posted February 22, 2012 Oldboy is garbage.
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted February 22, 2012 Author Paid Members Posted February 22, 2012 NO-ONE has guessed the number one yet - and I've seen people guess who voted for it, too!
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted February 22, 2012 Moderators Posted February 22, 2012 Didn't you tell me at some point that there is a comedy in the top ten? There hasn't been so far.. Planes, Trains and Automobiles for the No. 1 spot! Wooo! No?
Paid Members Burchill's Buddy Posted February 22, 2012 Paid Members Posted February 22, 2012 Didn't you tell me at some point that there is a comedy in the top ten? There hasn't been so far.. If this is true, and Gladders' post about people guessing who voted for it, then I'm excitedly hoping for Airplane or Spinal Tap. Come on.
Reznor Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 If it's going to be a comedy, you know it really should be The Naked Gun!
Paid Members Burchill's Buddy Posted February 22, 2012 Paid Members Posted February 22, 2012 I would be so, so pleased if it was. I deliberated for ages about whether to put Airplane or Naked Gun in and went with Airplane, but I love them both dearly.
