Phil Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Along with quite a lot of others I thought it would be pretty interesting to find what people here think is the greatest movie of all time! :) This will be done in pretty much the same way Nathaninch did the Greatest Ever Song, last year. To find the greatest movie, I will run weekly cage matches between films. It will run very similar to how playoffs in most professional sports run. (Eg. Team 1 beats Team 2. Team 3 beats Team 4. Therefore Team 1 will next compete against Team 3.) If you aren't familiar with a playoff tree... look it up. First of all, 16 films must be chosen. I request that you all post what you consider the Greatest 10 movies ever. From there, the 16 films with the highest number of votes will make it into the "Cage Matches". We will all vote on the cage matches to determine who wins the round. This is how they will work: 1. The first 8 weeks will be the first round and will reduce the films to 8. 2. The next 4 weeks will be the second round. This will reduce the films to 4. 3. The next 2 weeks will be the semi-final. This will reduce the amount of films to 2. 4. The next, and last, week will be the final. This will determine the Greatest Movie Ever! note: I urge people to see both films (either buy it cheaply online, or just go and rent it for a couple of days) before voting for any. I think Daan said it well... The topic is not only to find out the best movie ever, it is also somekind of form of inspiration for people that have never heard/seen some movies that they can watch. If you haven't seen one of the movies that should encourage you to see the other movie, instead of just making a bad vote. OK here's a list of the films that made into the top 16.... A Clockwork Orange Apocalypse Now Fight Club The Godfather The Green Mile LOTR 3 (ROTK) The Matrix Monty Python & the Holy Grail One Flew over the CuckooÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s Nest Pulp Fiction Reservoir Dogs Requiem For a Dream Schindler's List Sin City The Shawshank Redemption Team America ROUND 1 - MATCH 1 The Green Mile VS Monty Python & the Holy Grail Winner: Monty Python & the Holy Grail - 80-52 ROUND 1 - MATCH 2 LOTR 3 (ROTK) VS One Flew over the CuckooÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s Nest Winner: LOTR 3 (ROTK) 103-39 ROUND 1 - MATCH 3 The Matrix VS Sin City Winner: The Matrix 83-36 ROUND 1 - MATCH 4 A Clockwork Orange VS The Shawshank Redemption Winner: The Shawshank Redemption 64-27 ROUND 1 - MATCH 5 The Godfather VS Requiem For a Dream Winner: The Godfather 76-22 ROUND 1 - MATCH 6 Schindler's List VS Team America Winner: Schindler's List 81-35 ROUND 1 - MATCH 7 Apocalypse Now VS Pulp Fiction Winner: Pulp Fiction 57-29 ROUND 1 - MATCH 8 Reservoir Dogs VS Fight Club Winner: Fight Club 57-26 ------------------------------------------------------------- ROUND 2 - MATCH 1 Monty Python & the Holy Grail VS LOTR 3 (ROTK) Winner: LOTR 3 (ROTK) 90-78 ROUND 2 - MATCH 2 The Matrix VS The Shawshank Redemption Winner: The Matrix ROUND 2 - MATCH 3 The Godfather VS Schindler's List Winner: The Godfather 120-69 ROUND 2 - MATCH 4 Pulp Fiction VS Fight Club Winner: Pulp Fiction 73-72 ------------------------------------------------------------- ROUND 3 - MATCH 1 LOTR 3 (ROTK) VS The Matrix Winner: LOTR 3 (ROTK) 74-53 ROUND 3 - MATCH 2 The Godfather VS Pulp Fiction Winner: The Godfather - 77-50 ------------------------------------------------------------- Final LOTR 3 (ROTK) VS The Godfather Winner:LOTR 3 (ROTK) - 87-76 Thanks to Knightlite for making the follwing pic...

AniseCookies Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 FIRST VOTE!!! Go LOTR!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Putter Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Second vote! Obviously Godfather is leaps and bounds ahead of LOTR, it's far superior. But LOTR will most likely win, and that makes me want to be sad. Neither deserves this title, ROTK aint even close, but whatever. 1-1, this is shaping up to be the closest so far!

KnightofDoom Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Godfather by far, although schindlers list is my favorite :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insane Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Although I really like LOTR, I just can't for the life of me place it in even the top ten. Maybe it's because it's too new of a movie... I would easily place the book series top ten; but the movies? No way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubsa Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I'm continuing with the trend that this is a weak final. Still, we voted for it (Well, you all did...fools!). Out of the two, I'd give it to the Godfather. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest1 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Its hard to pick I liked them both, but I went with the God Father it was more of a classic. 99 Fishing 11/12/2006 790th fisher to 99Former Tip.it Events team leader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necromagus Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Wow, my vote for The Godfather just leveled it :shock: Anyway, although I seriously doubt if either movie should be in the finals, The Godfather is just the better movie out of the two I guess :?

____ Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 In for God Father. Even though Schindlers List is, IMO, better than both of them ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercifull Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 This is probably how I would have voted should all the ones i picked won.

How2PK Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 I'd probably come up with Requiem for a Dream or Apocalypse now winning. My vote went to the Godfather.

Arcticrunite Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 IMHO, LOTR shouldn't have even come this far, OneFlew is a hell of a lot better than any peter jackson movie imo, all his movies are just, meh-ish, i never did get into the LOTR series, *shrug* and he has a new one out, godzilla, why even remake it? Godfather is one of my utmost favourite movies of all time, i loved it, i loved the series, i couldnt get enough of it, thus my vote goes to The Godfather, however i dont think itll win cause we have too many LOTR Fanbois here :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubsa Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Holy smeg, did you see Peter Jackson at the Kong premiere?! :shock: He's lost all of his weight. He looks great!

How2PK Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 If How2PK had his way. Other movies would've been selected, but out of the movies in the competition: Round one.

timmay929 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 My vote- GodFather. I feel it should win, it was much better. But LOTR may win because most of the people I talk to on RS are into fiction movies like that. But IMO, LOTR was boring and long. 122 Combat : 99 Hits : 99 Attack : 99 Strength97/99 Defence : 99 Fletching : 99 Woodcutting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
