The 1994 Movie Tournament

[Tom Samborski]

Since so many schmoes have created certain kinds of movie tournaments, I figured I'd make up my own: movies from 1994.

Here is the list of movies in the tournament:

Pulp Fiction
Clerks
The Shawshank Redemption
Interview With The Vampire
Forrest Gump
Natural Born Killers
True Lies
The Lion King
Speed
The Mask
The Ref
The Santa Clause
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

Let's begin round one:

v.s

The Shawshank Redemption

[Sad man]

PULP FICTION!!! Travolta, Jackson, Thurman, Willis...is there any need to ask?

Hey! Tom, It´s me or your images can´t be seen?

[Tom Samborski]

I know, I type in the right address, but the pics disappear! Oh well, let's just play the game.

[mattjk_17]

Pulp Fiction

[A.J. Hakari]

PULP FICTION

[DaveyJoeG]

Pulp Fiction but it's kinda harsh pitting the best movies from the list against eachother in the very first round.

[Tom Samborski]

The winner of this round will move to the "semi-finals" against the other winners of the "quarter-finals", which is what we are on right now.

[Nate6]

Pulp Fiction

[Ren Hoek]

without doubt: Pulp Fiction

[RogueSpear]

Well, I'm going to go against the norm and vote for The Shawshank Redemption instead of the highly overrated Pulp Fiction.

[Tom Samborski]

So far, Pulp Fiction is winning 6-1. Since The Shawshank Redemption got a vote, I'm gonna let this round continue just a bit longer.

[SenorSpielbergo]

The Shawshank Redemption

[ColinM]

It sucks that the two best of the year are the two against each other in the first round, but Shawshank is better.

[Sad man]

1994 was a great year for movies!!!!

PULP FICTION looks like the sure winner here, but we never know!!!

By the way Tom, if you like tournaments why don´t you vote on mine´s?,It´s the 2001 MOVIES TOURNAMENT.

[Gregorious8]

Pulp Fiction

[charliebobo]

Pulp Fiction

[Invincible]

Tom! I thought about MAKING this thread 3 days AGO! and you did, wow, BIG ass coincidence! :D


Pulp Fiction

[Tom Samborski]

Since more than enough have voted, Pulp Fiction wins this round 10-3. I regret that I put The Shawshank Redemption against it, and for that I'm sorry.

Let's move on to Round II!:

Clerks

v.s

Natural Born Killers


Begin voting.

[Moviefan1234]

"Natural Born Killers"

[charliebobo]

Clerks.

[Ren Hoek]

woah Tom, you're so cruel... Two of my favorites again! Dammit!!!

But Natural Born Killers (9/10) gets my vote, because it was more innovative. Clerks (8/10) is great though...

[DaveyJoeG]

Clerks, the only thing I liked about Natural Born Killers was Robert Downey Jr.'s performance.

[Sad man]

NATURAL BORN KILLERS.

I like your tournament Tom!!

[A.J. Hakari]

CLERKS

[Tom Samborski]

BUMP

[Gregorious8]

C L E R K S

[SenorSpielbergo]

Clerks by far....

Clerks (10/10)
Natural Born Killers (1/10)

[mrdeeds]

Clerks. NBK was a pile of discarded tripe.

[Tom Samborski]

BUMP

[Dietrich]

Natural Born Killers

[Nate6]

Clerks

[Tom Samborski]

Since this game has slowed down, Clerks wins 7-4.

Next Round:

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective

v.s

The Mask

1994 was the year Jim Carrey took Hollywood by storm, vote for one of these two films!

[Gregorious8]

A C E V E N T U R A

[bowieee]

Ace Ventura

[Ren Hoek]

THE MASK

[Sad man]

THE MASK

[A.J. Hakari]

THE MASK

[mrdeeds]

The Mask was much more endearing, Ace was always annoying to me at best.

[charliebobo]

Ace Ventura

[Dietrich]

The Mask

[Moviefan1234]

[Tom Samborski]

BUMP

[Tom Samborski]

BUMP

I haven't voted in this round yet? What in the fuck?

The Mask.

[dannywalker17]

Ace Ventura

[Tom Samborski]

To make this game more interesting, I'm allowing only a maximum of 12 votes for each round. One more vote, and this round will be done!

[Tom Samborski]

Since no one is voting, I'm declaring this round over, and The Mask wins 7-4.


Next Round:

The Ref

v.s

Forrest Gump

[Ren Hoek]

I think that Forrest Gump (6/10) is quite good but highly overrated... and i'm mad at this film because it stole all the oscars Pulp Fiction 'deserved' in 1995. My vote goes to...

THE REF (8/10)

[Invincible]

Forrest Gump

[mrdeeds]

Forrest Gump, no contest!

[SenorSpielbergo]

Forrest Gump, although it is very overrated

[Bullitt]

The Ref, Forrest Gump was just too stupid.

[Gregorious8]

Tough one, but I'll take Gump

[Dietrich]

Hm. I haven't seen The Ref, and I'm not that crazy about Gumb, can I pass? :D

[mattjk_17]

To get this game out of that mess, the next round will have three, not two films competing against each other. The movie with the least votes in that round will be eliminated, and the other two films that had the higher votes will move to the "confrence" finals.

Now onto the next round. There are three movies, and the one with the least votes is eliminated, and the other two move on! You can vote for any one of the three. If all the votes go to just one of the three, then the other two will be eliminated.

I'm not voting, because if the votes were tied between two movies, and mine counted as a tie-breaker, then it would be unfair.

Well, I haven't seen Pulp Fiction either. I just never really wanted to see it. I might see it someday though, but I doubt I'll love it as much as a lot of other people seem to.

Hey Poly and BCV, wake up! The tournament is over! ;)
