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).

Stwike him, Centuwion. Stwike him vewy wuffly! (Pontius Pilate, "Life of Brian")
A fart without stink is like a sky without stars.
TGS, Third Grade Shooter: brand new genre invented by Kevin Butler exclusively for Natal WiiToo Kinect. PEW! PEW-PEW-PEW! 
 


Also, most of both old and new list were better than Temple of Doom or Rambo II and III or all those Rocky sequels.

Are you serious?!  Granted there is a bit of fat to trim off of the list you made and everyone is entitled to their opinion, but again, are you serious?!

Do you realize how many great movies are in that mammoth "vote off" list of yours?  Just because you haven't seen them doesn't mean they're not good or that others don't want them to have a shot.  A big LOL at not wanting to give a chance to the above 3 in particular.

I'm not saying your opinion is wrong, but the fact that you think that A Christmas Story is the Charlie Brown special shows that your credibility as a movie buff is somewhat questionable.

Well I never heard of them, but if people like them, keep them.

I just don't think most of those films would have gotten to this point in the game, and we really should eliminate at least half of them.

See Michael-5 and Joker! These bad movies will be of before you know it! That is at 5 I think for Superman 4 now. I think. Will count around midnight.

If Superman 4 is off the list, i´ll vote 2 minus next time. What about new games starting  with only 10 HP to make things a little faster?
