Remember the D.C sniper? Well, this movie caused a bit of controversey because it hit so close to home and they pushed the release date back....

Blue Velvet beat "O" 11-8.

MATCHUP NUMBER 2

The Last Temptation Of Christ

VS.

Dogma


Definately Dogma.

[Moviefan1234]

"Dogma"

[idealdiscountdude]

Dogma

I haven't seen the other film...

[Nate6]

The Last Temptation of Christ

See this movie! It's far better than Dogma...

[scottish-movie-freak]

Dogma.

[Mick]

The Last Temptation of Christ

Dogma was a ridiculously pointless, unfunny, pile of crap.

[Sad man]

Dogma.

[Horror whore]

Dogma

[charliebobo]

American Psycho


... I can't believe Dogma beat The Last Temptation Of Christ :rolleyes:

[Damned Martian]

Fight Club

[idealdiscountdude]

Fight Club

[dh1989]

American Psycho, but they both rock!

[ze424]

Fight Club

[Mick]

Fight Club

Dogma beat LTOC?! I guess there are a fair amount of schmoes who have yet to see Scorsese's brilliant film :rolleyes:

[MickeyKnox]

Fight Club

[Raoul Duke]

Fight Club.

[Outlaw_x]

VS.

American History X

American History X

[charliebobo]

[Sugar Magnolia]

American History X...

[idealdiscountdude]

Bowling For Columbine

AHX is great too!

[Damned Martian]

Again, i haven't seen BFC, so i'll vote for the masterpiece American History X

[Nate6]

The Last Temptation of Christ was beaten by Dogma? What the hell?

[dh1989]

American History X

[Sad man]

Bowling For Columbine(9/10)
America History X(9/10)

[The Claw]

American History X

[Horror whore]

American History X

[A.J. Hakari]

BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE

[MickeyKnox]

American History X-(9.9/10)
Bowling For Columbine-(9.5/10)

[screamer581]

BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE

[DaveyJoeG]

The Last Temptation of Christ was the best movie in the entire tournament. How could it lose in the second match? Much less to Dogma.

[SubMethod]

American History X(9/10)

Michael Moore lost a lot of respect when he made his outburst at the oscars, and with some of the things I've read of his lately. American History X is a great movie and one of the best of the 90's.

[Oscar_Chip]

American History X, no contest.

[XCoRyX]

american history x

[Hannibal21]

American History X

[BadCoverVersion]

Whoops, I guess I flipped flopped... sorry about that :D

[Paterfamilias]

American History X

[Invincible]

American History X

[Outlaw_x]

American History X

[Pootie]

[bowieee]

Bowling for Columbine

[mrdeeds]

Both were flawed, but I'll have go with AmeX

[asyouwish530]

American History X

[Hannibal21]

23-6 in favor of American History X.

[arto_j]

American History X

[Tweaky]

American History X

[alexcuse]

BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE (6/10)

[Addi88]

American History X

[Sad man]

BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE(9/10 or A)
America Histoty X(9/10 or A)

[Sugar Magnolia]

New round please?

[PorcheRacer]

Next up

The Rules Of Attraction

VS.

JFK

Rules Of Attraction (9/10 A-) was great ... I vote for that

[A.J. Hakari]

THE RULES OF ATTRACTION

[Sugar Magnolia]

JFK(10/10)
The Rules Of Attraction(7.5/10)

[RogueSpear]

JFK

[asyouwish530]

JFK

[Mike]

Screw JFK, THE RULES OF ATTRACTION easily gets my vote ALL THE WAY!

[JCPhoenix]

I vote for JFK



JFK (10/10) is one of the most powerful, and influential movies made...it might not all be fact, but is certainly very very persuasive.

The Rules of Attraction (8/10) was a great movie that was funny and depressing somehow all at the same time...but imo, it's no match for JFK here.

[paul calf]

JFK

[screamer581]

JFK of course!

[Mick]

JFK

[Damned Martian]

as in the last round (BFC 9.5/10 - AHX 10/10), THIS IS UNFAIR!! :(

JFK 10/10

ROA 9/10

[charliebobo]

JFK

[rupert pupkin]

jfk

[BadCoverVersion]

JFK...

ROA was great, but I'm not silly.

[arto_j]

JFK

[Ren Hoek]

JFK (9.5/10)
RULES OF ATTRACTION (7/10)

[Moviefan1234]

[scottish-movie-freak]

I'd rather see ROA (the book was fantastic).

[Raw Chili]

ROA

[Rated R]

JFK, my number three ever

[Raoul Duke]

RULES OF ATTRACTION was meh.

JFK was awesome.

JFK gets my vote.

[Addi88]

ROA

JFK all the way!

[idealdiscountdude]

JFK

[Addi88]

bump

[JCPhoenix]

well i'm glad to see that it looks pretty much like rules has no way of catching up to jfk...don't get me wrong, i liked rules, but JFK is soo much better imo

[dannywalker17]

JFK

Rules of Attraction was awful.

[MickeyKnox]

JFK-(10/10)
The Rules of Attraction-(8/10)

[Addi88]

bump

[Pulpfellas87]

JFK, buddy. But ROA was still a good anti-mainstream movie.

[ColinM]

JFK

[outsyder]

JFK. It looks as though ROA is down (and to the right:) ).

[Addi88]

bump

[Mike]

COME ON! This match is well over with, lets move on already...

[Sugar Magnolia]

JFK wins 23 to 9, I believe...

Considering the last match lasted 22 days, I'll get the next one started...

House Of 1000 Corpses

vs.

Natural Born Killers




I vote for Natural Born Killers...

[Damned Martian]

NBK

[Moviefan1234]

"Natural Born Killers"

[Clarkey07]

NBK

[Nate6]

Natural Born Killers is disgusting, overwrought trash.

House of 1000 Corpses for me.

[A.J. Hakari]

The pretty decent HOUSE OF 1,000 CORPSES.

[Addi88]

House Of 1000 Corpses

[Ren Hoek]

NATURAL BORN KILLERS (10/10), the #12 in my top 100 and (along with PULP FICTION) the most important movie of the 90s!

[paul calf]

NATURAL BORN KILLERS

[Mike]

Natural Born Killers is disgusting, overwrought trash.

Well fucking said Nate! I agree 110%... NBK is pure fuckin' trash, a bloody awful film. I'd give it a 1/10 or 2/10, either way, it's a big fat F. It's probably one of the worst movies ever.


I vote for HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES! I think it looks good, and if Adam liked it, then it must be ;). There's absolutely no way in hell it's worse than NBK...

[A.J. Hakari]

Nice philosophy, Mike...then again, I thought THE MUMMY was one of 1999's best, so not even I would trust my opinion. ;)

Oh yeah, well I thought THREE TO TANGO (8/10 or A-) was one of 1999's best, so top that :D...

All I have to say to that...


:eek:




:D

[Raoul Duke]

Haven't seen House of 1000 Corpses

But I doubt it can top NBK(8/10)


NBK Gets My Vote!

You're so fuckin' right...I absolutely hate it. It tries to be smart with all the violence but ends up as a hypocritical, immature mess. Terrible, terrible stuff.

[Mike]

EXACTLY! I know what the message was and what it wanted to get across, but in my opinion, it was a MAJOR MAJOR failure at doing so.

[Sugar Magnolia]

Natural Born Killers is winning 9 to 4....
