DAMN! I didn't make it here in time, I would have voted for Species. I've never seen Apollo 13 and I don't want to. But I did see Species and I enjoyed it.

Braveheart

[Sad man]

The American President gets my vote, a cute romantic comedy.
Braveheart was not bad at all, but I saw it when I was very little and it bored me to death.

[screamer581]

Braveheart is mega overrated, I vote for The American President.

[mrdeeds]

Are you kidding me? Braveheart by light years.

[Tagia_Romero]

Just a question, but doesnt it help to have seen both movies before you vote on which you like better?

[Tom Samborski]

Braveheart wins this round 11-6.

Next Round:

The Usual Suspects

v.s

Dead Man Walking

[asyouwish530]

The Usual Suspects

[MarkItZero]

both good, but I will pick The Usual Suspects

[screamer581]

Oh dear god... I hope The Usual Suspects doesn't win. I vote Dead Man Walking, one of the best films of the 90's!!!!!

[Puck Bond]

Tough choice!

The Usual Suspects-10/10 gets my vote
Dead Man Walking-9/10

[Rated R]

Both are extremely good, but I choose The Usual Suspects for it s in my top ten somewhere...I think.

[A.J. Hakari]

Both are excellent, perfect movies...it pains me to choose, but I vote for THE USUAL SUSPECTS.

[Nate6]

Dead Man Walking!

IMHO, The Usual Suspects is far from perfect...

[Cyclonus]

Dead Man Walking

[RogueSpear]

The Usual Suspects

[charliebobo]

Both very good, but I vote for The Usual Suspects

[Moviefan1234]

"Dead Man Walking"

[POLYDISTORTION]

The Usual Suspects

[Tom Samborski]

[DaveyJoeG]

Casino

A great, underrated Scorsese film.

[POLYDISTORTION]

Casino

[screamer581]

I hate all of you for voting for The Usual Suspects!!! :mad: :) Anyways.... I vote for Leaving Las Vegas!!!

[SubMethod]

Casino

[Rated R]

GO CASINO!!!!!
If Scorsese can make Sharon Stone act, he can do it for anyone!

[idealdiscountdude]

Both are great films, but Leaving Las Vegas (A) was the better of the two.

Casino gets an (A-) from me, and it includes Sharon Stone's career best performance.

[Gregorious8]

C A S I N O

[A.J. Hakari]

LEAVING LAS VEGAS

[Mike]

I haven't seen CASINO, but I saw some of LEAVING LAS VEGAS and I liked what I saw. So, my vote goes to LEAVING LAS VEGAS.

[bowieee]

Leaving lost vegas

[mrdeeds]

Casino, although not by much.

[charliebobo]

Casino 8/10 gets my vote
Leaving Las Vegas 7.5/10

[MarkItZero]

Casino is one of Scorcese's lesser movies in my opinion, but it was still better that Leaving Las Vegas.

[Puck Bond]

Casino-9/10 gets my vote
Leaving Las Vegas--9/10

[Nate6]

Casino. Scorsese is God.

[Tom Samborski]

Babe

[asyouwish530]

Toy Story

[RogueSpear]

Toy Story

[The Claw]

Toy Story gets my vote.

Although I thought Babe was okay for what it was.

[screamer581]

Damnit, Dead Man Walking AND Leaving Las Vegas both lost in the first round...this is not my game. Well I guess I vote for BABE, I found the first Toy Story to be very overrated.

[charliebobo]

Babe

[Nate6]

Damn this round to the seventh circle of Hell! Both of these films bring back wonderful memories.

Ook, eek, ook, I guess...Toy Story, but it hurts me to eliminate Babe.

[Moviefan1234]

"Toy Story"

[Rated R]

Toy Story

[Tom Samborski]

[Tom Samborski]

Toy Story wins this round 8-3.

Next Round:

Heat

v.s

Se7en

P.S: Not to be a jerk or anything, but could we pick up the pace with the voting ? I noticed that fewer and fewer have voted in the past rounds, and I would like to see more votes for the next round.

[DaveyJoeG]

Ah this is a tough one. Well not really I will go with Se7en but I truly love Heat and would hate to see it go.

[Rated R]

FUCK!

Heat was the best movie of 1995, but jesus, I know it won't win...oh damn!

I know how you feel Screamer, they are my top 2 flicks of 95, and LLV is my 5th best of the decade...and not only for them to lose, but for one to lose to one of the most overrated of the decade (The Usual Suspects)...oh well...


While Heat is actually my all-time favorite action film, I must give the slight edge to Se7en, my second favorite thriller.

[charliebobo]

Se7en

[idealdiscountdude]

Seven it is. (B)

I have not seen Heat

Okay, now it's time for the semifinals! These are the films that have made it to semifinals:

Some of you people are crazy, how can you possibly think that any of these movies in the semifinals was better than Heat!

My vote goes to Strangedays

Everyone has a right to my opinion.
