Tight at the top!

Dont forget, everyone is allowed to vote, even if you are not in the running to lift the cup (ie people not entered).

So please pick your favourite 3 films from the list below.

I went for:

12 Angry Men
300
101 Dalmations

As the only other one I had seen on the list was 50 First Dates.

Is "the 3 Amigos" that Steve Martin film?

I love "The Three Amigos".

My little buttercup, has the sweetest smile. Dear little buttercup, won't you stay a while?

Classic

You son of a motherless Goat!
Brilliant line

I've sent my choices again but they sit in my outbox for ages before they send. This round will be over before my choices are in

check your outbox! BTW - you got one of your original choices.

Whoever voted for the Dalmatians should be shamed of themselves

I'm gonna job you for that Steve!

Oh wait...

Look at my comment and it explains why.

The powers have been removed Crimey & I can now slag off your movie choices. BOOM!!

I am amazed that 6th sense is doing so badly.

Watched Lock Stock last night, I forgot how brilliant Vinnie Jones' character is.

It has to be 300

THIS IS SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

Have you ever watched this Dicey:

Genius!

That's brilliant Hero

thats super

Super 8 is better than all these films.

Sorry Unknown Brother, 12 Angry Men ( Henry Fonda version) is a classic than can very rarely be touched by any film.
The interaction between the characters within the jury room and the way each juror in turn changes his mind on the verdict and in the end how discussion overcomes racism and bigotry. The film was made in 1957 when these subjects were just beginning to surface.
The nominations and awards it won is as long as your arm, if you have never seen the film it is one that you should make an effort to watch, filmed in black and white with a very strong cast although you may not recognise some of the actors names. Henry Fonda. Lee J Cobb. Jack Warner. Jack Klugman. Martin Balsam

se7en is by far and away the best film on that list, cant believe some of the voting

Agree that of all of them that 12 Angry Men is by far and away the greatest (and it wasn't my choice).

not seen 12 angry men to be fair, or 16 candles. seen the rest though

16 candles is awesome and got one of my votes - it wasnt my film either!

Quick heads up for next weeks nominations - I am on holiday so send your nominations to Hero AND YI Man in my absence - they will sort things.

The category is - Films with the main characters name in the title.

So for example, "Debbie does Dallas" would qualify as Debbie is the star of the film. It has to be the name of the character (ie not a nickname like the Godfather)

Send your top3 nominations.

2 words sell it for me

Molly Ringwald

Loving the redheads!

One of our competitors nominated possibly the greatest film ever with a number in it:

2 Girls, 1 cup.

I would have voted for it! Take a bow son!

Never heard of that film, I'll do a search for it now.

I have just heard of a news report saying that a police swarm has surrounded a building in Macclesfield....more details to follow

Its not as funny as 1 man 1 Jar

Hobo; why wasn't that video on the list? It would have been a runaway winner!

If that's what turns you on Steve. But not for me. :sick:

Sent my choices to Hero and Y I Man.

Am i able to play in the cup or did i need to start from the beginning?.

when is the next round going up?

Shouldn't this poll have closed and round 6 be put up by now?

Yeah it'll be up tonight.

Sorry about the delay - I have been on holiday and Hero and YI were too busy organising a p1ss up in a brewery apparently.

Will put it up on Monday after I get them to send me the nominations!

About time, bloody staff these days ..

Where was Catch 22?

"Save the bombadier!"

"I am the bombadier...!?"

A 'B-Grade' Classic or a lower 'A Grade' film depending on how you like that sort of thing...

12 angry men is a fantastic old film - on alimited budget. 6th sense is very good.

3 amioos not good - 51st state a lot worse !!!

Quite right westybeast 12 Angry Men is a fantastic old film

When you say 101 Dalmations are you talking about the animated one or the live action one.


As usual I ask the questions that people really care about.

OKAY - we are going to draw a veil over the last round and start again from Monday.

So for the next round of penultimate nominations, I want you to submit your favourite film franchises (has to have had at least 2 sequels).

Get me your top 3 nominations ASAP and I will update the scores and start again.

Frigg off - I had the best one!

BOOOO you can't just cancel a round!

It is with great regret that I must announce the demise of the movie cup.

I left it in the capable hands of Hero and YI and it never recovered.

I only had half of the nominations needed this week so its the end I am afraid.

How about half an Osprey's jersey instead?

Boom I win!

this was a conspiracy by Hero!!!! against me i was catching up to him to pass him !!!




p.s sad to see this go
