Final Destination is a superior films in many ways, in my opinion. The premise was really unique and well-executed. The acting was not Academy Award material, but it was not bad either, in my opinion. As for formulaic, that was the kind of the point. It was intended to be a different kind of slasher. I think there is a lot more to it than many here have assumed. Anyway, in my opinion, it is far more deserving to be on this list than Hostel, which is why I will negative vote Hostel. I respect everyone's opinions, but simply strongly disagree. Other than that, the Honorable Mentions section is fine with me.

I'm fine with Hostel not being on the list. There's plenty of other movies that deserve it more. However i do like the film and believe it to be important to the genre due to when it came out and what it contributed towards however the real reason i backed it is to try and get rid of Final Destination. All your arguments showed was that Final Destination is better, in your opinion, then Hostel and shows just how mediocre FD is.
I like Final Destination, i really do. It's stupid fun. But it's basically just "Let's see how everyone dies next." It's not scary, it's not well made or well acted. If it weren't for all the ridiculous sequels they churned out, it would be forgettable.
Final Destination is barely a movie, it's a cheap gimmick. It's not a good movie that somebody made. It's an interesting premise that someone came up with and then turned into a movie.
