For the record, either Communist China or BLS-Pride would be as well trading for Mr. Kennedy before it's too late. I posted an update on his return in the wrestling thread weeks ago, so...

It could be a gamble, but neither of you have much to lose. Anyway, it's first come, first serve...

Anything by Studio Ghibli.

Yeah, I know... More animated Japanese stuff!

But their productions are simply flawless.

I've seen 3/4 of their films, to prove it, I've ranked them...

Grave of the Fireflies
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
Princess Mononoke
Howl's Moving Castle
Pom Poko
Spirited Away
Only Yesterday
My Neighbor Totoro
The Cat Returns
Whisper of the Heart
Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro

I literally almost cried during "Grave Of The Fireflies".

Aguirre (the Wrath of God) is supposed to be just as insane

They showed that back to back on the night with "Fitzcarraldo", I missed the first twenty minutes, so I didn't watch it.

...But the TV book reviews for it, were just as impressive. I definitely need to check it out.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)
Se7en (1995)

These are the only two films that I haven't seen on the list.

...And I think that two days is too long, but that's really just because I can't wait to see how this ends.

*Kudos* to Neemo.

also tiebreaker rule...how do we wanna do it? for now i was gonna use the same method as the other one where if there is a tie then i vote for the winner..let me know

Use it's metacritic or rotten tomatoes score to decide?

Cool idea, I'd lean towards Rotten Tomatoes.

"Lost Highway" is a good film, but my favourite thing about it is "The Perfect Drug" by Nine Inch Nails on the soundtrack.

"Aliens" on the other hand via-ing with "The Thing" is the best Sci-fi horror ever made. One of the rare cases of a brilliant first film, having an even better sequel.

A few months months ago I saw "Fitzcarraldo", it's one of the best foreign films ever made. On a par with just about anything ever made in English.

James you should really check it out. It's pretty hard to explain why, without spoiling it though.

In recent months, I've also seen "Wild Strawberries" and "The Seventh Seal", from an Ingmar Bergman season here on "Film 4" in the UK, I regret not checking out the rest of his movies.

#4260 Re: GNRevolution Madness » GnREvolution Movie Madness - Nominations Reset » 911 weeks ago

Once Upon A Time In America (1984)
The Good, The Bad And The Ugly (1966)

Hopefully someone else nominates "Apocalypse Now".
