Execproducer Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Only 4 votes for The Limey ? Y'all Suck! That and When We Were Kings makes 20 of my 100. Has anyones entire ballot ever shown up on one of these countdowns? I don't expect mine will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Has anyones entire ballot ever shown up on one of these countdowns? I don't expect mine will. It is usually tradition to post your ballot after the countdown is done, but not during. I am not terribly shocked that Face-Off didn't rank higher. I love the movie, but there are some implausibly insane action sequences in it and the plot can get muddled in the downtime. The gunfights are wonderful but the boat chase is proof positive that you shouldn't give John Woo a budget of over ten million dollars. And Holy Shit, the doves and another church shootout. All that movie needed was Aaron Kwok to show up as Mad Dog in order to be a pastiche of every John Woo movie ever made. It is still my secret wish to own a pair of the custom Springfields that Castor Troy used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRGoldman Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Is When We Were Kings the closest to its original spot this far? Also you all suck for not voting for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 Is When We Were Kings the closest to its original spot this far? Also you all suck for not voting for it. It might be so far (I need to actually compile the comparison rankings but I have been too lazy) That being said - I know for a fact there are some movies coming up that are in the same spot as last time.

Niners Fan in CT Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Great list of movies there. I've probably seen them all ten times. Die Hard With a Vengeance is so great.. Call me insane I might like it more than True Lies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Casey Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Wow, I'm amazed someone had MEN IN TIGHTS higher than I did. I personally put Men in Tights as Mel Brook's 3rd best movie of all time, behind Young Frankenstein and Spaceballs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 While I'm pleased that it made it to 176, ahead of some pretty stiff competition, I think White Men Can't Jump could do better. WHAT IS THIS A MASON'S CONVENTION? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSC Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Wow, I'm amazed someone had MEN IN TIGHTS higher than I did. I thought the exact same thing...until looking at my ballot and realizing I somehow missed voting for it. I'm very sad now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 180) DIE HARD: WITH A VENGEANCE 1995 - 208 Points - 3 Votes (Highest Vote: #8 Newb82) I wanted to watch Die Hard with a Vengeance again but I wasn't able to so had to rely on memory. I'm one of the three voters for it and it's the best of the sequels. 178) ROBIN HOOD: MEN IN TIGHTS 1993 - 209 Points - 3 Votes (Highest Vote: #16 Kyle Casey) I should have voted for this. Bugger.
