I am pretty sure I forgot to vote for DM, but Simon Phoenix was the one of the top five best villains that the 90's ever produced.

 

For somethign billed as a forumlaic action movie, DM was pretty fucking brilliant.

 

I love Ghost Dog so yeah, I probably screwed that pooch, too.

Here is how the Three Colors movie broke down

 

2 people voted for all 3

2 people voted for Blue and Red

1 person only voted for Blue

1 person only voted for Red

 

Unfortunately, I haven't gotten around to watching Red or White in the last few years, so I was the lone Blue vote.

More than made up for by Affleck's spectacular performance.

I fucking hated Dogma. I have my issues with organized religion, too, but I'm not a dick about it.Dogma would've been more bearable with less smarmyness and more Alan Rickman and Linda Fiorentino

DIRECTOR: Takashi Miike

107) EL MARIACHI
1992 - 358 Points - 6 Votes (Highest Vote: #12 Brian Fowler)
 
DIRECTOR: Robert Rodriguez
STARRING: Carlos Gallardo, Consuelo Gómez, Jaime de Hoyos
Placement On Original List: #99 (8 Votes)
 
 
NOTE FROM RIPPA - Rotten Tomatoes lists this as 2001 which might be the biggest difference of any movie I have seen. It is even more amusing when you read the description on RT and the first line talks about the movie being an early 90s movie. Long story short - I hope you don't rely on RT for release years.

0-2 on voting for those movies

Fuck.  No more erudite analysis.  I will vote with my heart from now on which means that Coffy, Shaft, or Cotton Comes To Harlem will end up being Number One in a future do-over of the Best of the Seventies Poll.

Seth Gecko is one of the best characters ever and the epitome of the anti-hero that is so popular these days.

 

One of Clooney's finer performances IMO because he is soooo cast aganst type, so it would not surprise me if I checked my ballot and found out that I did not vote for FDTD.

 

FDTD is infintely quotable. Capitalizing threats with "or I will turn this place into the fucking Wild Bunch" is part of my normal diction right along with "Someone's about to get a fucking slap" from Layer Cake.
