Personally I liked Tae Guk Gi (sp) better than Private Ryan.

Battle Royale

[_____V_____]

Personally I liked Tae Guk Gi (sp) better than Private Ryan.

3-0 to Battle Royale so far.

Sucks since this is a Horror Movie forum I am sure that a Horror movie will win this tournament.

[_____V_____]

Sucks since this is a Horror Movie forum I am sure that a Horror movie will win this tournament.

Don't count on it.

Remember that Night/Dawn/Day combined together lost out to Eastwood's Sphagetti Westerns in the Franchise tourney.

I think we will be having a surprise winner in this one too...


3-1, Night leads over Requiem for a Dream.

[GorePhobia]

Yeah you are right. I forgot about that.

[Papillon Noir]

Requiem for a Dream - best movie ever about addiction!

[Despare]

Requiem was alright but IMO not as good as people tout it to be. It certainly didn't revolutionize a genre the way Night of the Living Dead did and to be honest, I like Pi better. NotLD for me.

[fortunato]

It certainly didn't revolutionize a genre the way Night of the Living Dead did

Raging Bull (1980)
Director - Martin Scorcese

[Posher778]

Shaun of the Dead

[alkytrio666]

Metropolis, definately.

[Bub the Zombie]

Metropolis

[Despare]

Shaun of the Dead

This is another realy tough match for me, I think what swayed me toward Shaun was the fact that Lang has done more than one film that I like better than Metropolis.

[The_Raven]

Metropolis. Fritz Lang's masterpiece.

[Kane_Hodder]

I saw Metropolis on HBO the other day and was considerably impressed.
It's unbelievable that they made this way back in 1927.
For being so far ahead of it's time, it gets my vote.

[_____V_____]

5-3, Metropolis silently marches ahead of Shaun.

Grindhouse (2007)
Director duo - Robert Rodriguez & Quentin Tarantino

[alkytrio666]

Well, Bridge on the River Kwai is a fantastic film. However, for the first time, I'm going to have to go the horror route and choose Grindhouse- only because it was an exhilerating first-hand experience for me.

[ferretchucker]

Grindhouse. It really was suprisingly brilliant.

[_____V_____]

5-1, King Kong tames William Wallace.

[alkytrio666]

Kong cause I actually laughed my ass off at how bad it was (effects wise). Brilliant story though.
That's too bad. I look at King Kong (1933) as having still some of the most brilliantly inventive effects of all time. In the context of its time, its lightyears ahead of anything else. And it was a hell of a lot more difficult than slapping CGI on something.

Anyway, I still salute the effects.
