I think you added WAY too many bonus games. You should have made bonus games a thread of it's own with that many titles. There are more bonus games then survivors after all, and most don't deserve to be above the eliminated movies IMO.

If I knew you were going to add this many Bonus titles, I would have suggested letting this thread finish on it's own, and then take the top 30 and put them against the bonus titles, all stating with equal health.

Well Archbrix said I could take off The Gate, so that is a start. I think it was way too many as well, just trying to give everyone the movies they wanted. I will dig through about ten and see if that makes it better. But with 5 being the minus number a lot of them should not last anyways very long.

Like Grave of the fireflies...what the hell is that? So who is to say what is one members gem. The Name of the Rose? That was like pulling teeth to get rid of that.

 

So anyone have 1 or 2 that you would not mind having taken off, we have to do it by midnight tonight central standard time. After that its as is.

I edited my post, but this works too.

Someone else voted Grave of the Fireflies, I know I'm at least a second vote. It's a WW2 Anime which focuses on the life on a child who looses his parents in the war and is unable to take care of himself. It's a really sad film, and what makes it worse is that things like that actually happened in Japan.

I have not heard of nearly all of them, and the only ones I think that are of good quality are: The Shining, Wall Street, Spaceballs, The Grave of the Fireflies, Transformers, Rambo, The Elephant Man, A Christmas Story (If this is Charlie Brown), A Nightmare of Elm Street, Rambo, Mad Max 3, Full Metal Jacket, Blade Runner and The Road Warrior.

Even then, few of those films are better then James Bond, Star Wars, and Indianna Jones (all saw at least 1 elimination prior).
