American History X

[A.J. Hakari]

DARK CITY

[The Claw]

American History X gets the vote.

Dark City was good though.

[screamer581]

I loved both, but I have to vote for American History X.

[DaveyJoeG]

American History X

[Sad man]

America History X(9/10 or A) gets my vote.
I hated the lame Dark City(4/10 or C-)

[Puck Bond]

Tough choice...

Dark City-10/10(#3 on my top 10 of 98) gets my vote
American History X-9/10(#6 on my top 10 of 98)

[RogueSpear]

American History X

[Reagan]

Dark City, definitely. American History had some major flaws

[Jason Voorhees]

American History X.

[arto_j]

Hate to vote against such a great sci-fi flick, but American History X is just better. So I vote for "X".

[POLYDISTORTION]

American History X

[Rob Gordon]

Dark City

[charliebobo]

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

[Mike]

I haven't seen either of them, but I do plan on getting around to seeing AMERICAN HISTORY X sometime soon, and I think I'll like it, so I'll give it my vote.

[mrdeeds]

Dark City, I think AHX was flawed.

[SubMethod]

American History X wins 16-6.

[RogueSpear]

A Simple Plan

[A.J. Hakari]

[idealdiscountdude]

A Simple Plan

[Jason Voorhees]

A Simple Plan.

[Puck Bond]

A Simple Plan-8/10 gets my vote
Rushmore-8/10

[Reagan]

Rushmore was funny, but A SIMPLE PLAN jsut blew me away. It is the kind of movie you carry around with you for days.

[Shakamaker]

Rushmore

[Moviefan1234]

"A Simple Plan"

[Roswell]

RUSHMORE

[charliebobo]

Two solid movies, but A Simple Plan was better

[POLYDISTORTION]

RUSHMORE

[Rob Gordon]

Rushmore

[Nate6]

A Simple Plan

[SubMethod]

This was a close round with A Simple Plan beating out Rushmore 9-7.

next match...(a wierd one)

Saving Private Ryan

I vote for Saving Private Ryan.

[Rob Gordon]

Tough call, I'll go with Saving Private Ryan.

Buffalo '66

[Puck Bond]

Saving Private Ryan

[Sad man]

Buffalo ´66

[bowieee]

Buffalo 66

[A.J. Hakari]

SAVING PRIVATE RYAN

[Reagan]

Both of these were just solid, not great, as far as I'm concerned. But Saving Private Ryan is the more important of the two so it carries the day.

Saving Private Ryan

[idealdiscountdude]

Saving Private Ryan

[Nate6]

Jesus M. Christ! Definitely Saving Private Ryan!

[screamer581]

Saving Private Ryan

[charliebobo]

[Mick]

I'll suck your cock for $1000 ;)

The Big Lebowski of course!

[charliebobo]

The Thin Red Line

[SubMethod]

6-5 right now. More votes needed to end this match.

[DaveyJoeG]

The Big Lebowski

[urbanlegend23]

I don't know why you all don't like THE THIN RED LINE! I mean maybe all of you who aren't voting for it like it as well but I have heard some very negative things about it on this board and it is really surprising because I thought it was a brilliant movie. Very intriguing, hard-hitting, honest and entertaining.

The Thin Red Line (9/10 or A) gets my vote.

[Gregorious8]

The Big Lebowski

[Sad man]

The Big Lebowsi

[POLYDISTORTION]

The Big Lebowski

[Rob Gordon]

Dammit! The last one was easy. Why do my favorites always get matched up?!

Well, I'll vote The Thin Red Line since it's so far behind and probably not going to win.

[Reagan]

The Thin Red Line. It is better than Saving Private Ryan for my money and the Big Lebowski isn't even the Coens Third best film. I love the thin Red Line. I AM WITH YOU URBANLEGEND23

[free]

The Big Lebowski

[Jason Voorhees]

The Big Lebowski.

[SubMethod]

The Big Lebowski wins 12-8.

Anyway, as for this match, my vote goes to GODS & MONSTERS. I haven't seen it yet, but I didn't really care for Blade (5/10 or C-).

[idealdiscountdude]

Deep Impact!

[charliebobo]

Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas

[screamer581]

Fear And Loathing

[Mike]

Yikes, I'm not sure what to do. I haven't seen Fear & Loathing and Deep Impact (6/10 or C+) was just "ok." Well, I guess I'll just give my vote to Deep Impact.

[Moviefan1234]

"Deep Impact"

[DaveyJoeG]

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

[A.J. Hakari]

Yikes, that last match went fast...

Anyhoo, FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

[Jason Voorhees]

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

[dannywalker17]

Definetely the best "disaster movie" ever, Deep Impact (10/10).

[POLYDISTORTION]

[dannywalker17]

Pi

[screamer581]

Pi

[A.J. Hakari]

PI

[Mike]

Oh my god, this is probably going to be the only vote City Of Angels (7/10 or B-) gets, I'm so lame ;). But I haven't seen Pi, so I'll give my vote to City Of Angels.

[SubMethod]

To be honest, I thought to myself that if City of Angels actually got a vote it would be from you Mike.

[Moviefan1234]

"City Of Angels"

[arto_j]

mmmmm.....Pi

[Cole666]

Didn't really like either movie, but if i had to choose Pi i guess.

[charliebobo]

[SubMethod]

Pi wins this match easily 12-2.

[screamer581]

The very good Sliding Doors.

[dannywalker17]

I loved the first Urban Legend!

[Nate6]

Sliding Doors

[idealdiscountdude]

Sliding Doors!

[A.J. Hakari]

URBAN LEGEND

[charliebobo]

The lovely Sliding Doors

[Horror whore]

URBAN LEGEND is better.

[Mike]

Duh, of course the wonderful Sliding Doors (8/10 or B+) gets my vote. I liked Urban Legend (7/10 or B-) too, but it's definitely not as good as Sliding Doors.

[Mick]

Urban Legend.... because John Hannah's not in it

[Sad man]

Mmmmmmmm...Both 7/10 flicks."Sliding doors" is cute and "Urban Legend" was a original teen horror film...
My vote goes to "Urban Legend".

[Puck Bond]

Urban Legend

[Shakamaker]

Sliding Doors

[Jason Voorhees]

Urban Legend.

[SubMethod]

8-7 right now, too close to call, more votes needed.

[arto_j]

Are you shitting me? The wonderful Sliding Doors against one of the crappiest films ever filmed, and it's this close...man, I picked the wrong week to quit amfetamines ;)

Obviously, I vote for Sliding Doors

[bowieee]

Sliding doors

[SubMethod]

I guess that's all the votes I'm going to get, so Sliding Doors wins 10-7.

[Nate6]

The Truman Show

[dannywalker17]

This should be a no brainer. The Truman Show.

[charliebobo]

The Truman Show

[SubMethod]

It's 9-0 in favor of The Truman Show right now...I'll take a few more votes to see if Antz can make a comeback, which I doubt will happen.

[A.J. Hakari]

THE TRUMAN SHOW

[idealdiscountdude]

The Truman Show

[Puck Bond]

The Truman Show

[Ren Hoek]

That's tough... two of my favorite films in 1998. But THE TRUMAN SHOW is just a tad better.

[SubMethod]

The Truman Show crushes Antz 13-0.

next match...

Shakespeare In Love

vs.

There's Something About Mary

I vote for Something About Mary

[A.J. Hakari]

Equally good, but neither is great... I'm voting for Shakespeare in Love

[RogueSpear]

The Devil's Advocate

[mrdeeds]

The Devil's Advocate

[Damned Martian]

The devil's Advocate, by more distance than the human mind can conceive.

[Mick]

The Devil's Advocate

:eek:

[The Other]

Lethal Weapon 4

Because it clearly has the least amount of votes.

[Reagan]

I am still so pissed about losing the time I spent on these two flicks that I don't think I could make a choice. But Pacino wins so

Devil's Advocate

[POLYDISTORTION]

The devil's Advocate

[SubMethod]

Sorry for the delay but I haven't been able to get to the computer the last few days. I realize that The Devil's Advocate is a 97 film so I'll redo this round but bump up the film that TDA beat in the last round....

Lethal Weapon 4

vs.

The Siege

I vote for The Siege

[Damned Martian]

Ugh...
