    Did you watch the movie?

    You're missing out on the rest!

    I did, but I think the book coloured it for me.

    I'll stick the rest on my watch list. :D

    I voted for 2 of 3 foreign language entries and still standing by that. Cant understand the lack of love for city of god. :(

    Princess Bride, Memento, Goodfellas, aliens, flash Gordon.
    But sure ten minutes later I'd have given you flash Gordon and 4 different movies, its too hard to choose.

    Oh, that's good. Means we wouldn't have been fighting over the same one. I'd have taken Rufus Sewel (yeah, I know he was a baddie, but <<swoon>>) or James Purefoy. Not really fussed which.

    Back to the future 2 was the worst of the 3 back to the future movies. You guys should all be ashamed of yourselves for voting it in ahead of Two Towers.

    Kinda glad I've only gotten to page 4 so I dont see anymore atrocities.

    Oh wait, theres another one. Fellowship gone too. You guys all suck!

    Stop right there Rikand, it was a horrific massacre of epic proportions.

    Two Towers
    Godfather 2
    And Silence of the Lambs

    All taken down by Back to the Future

    So who wants to own up to those joke entries???

    Here's mine:

    The great escape (1963)

    Black Book (Zwartboek) (2006)

    There will be blood (2007)

    Let the Right One In (LDen Re Komma In) (2008)

    Inglourious Basterds (2009)

    Both The Great Escape and Inglourious Basterds were on my shortlist and very nearly made it. Black Book is a great shout, superb film.

    Here's my list:

    Some Like it Hot
    Lost in Translation
    Star Wars
    The Blues Brothers
    Office Space

    Thanks for running the game qb, and for the massive amount of work you put into it. Really good fun.

    Shouldn't have even been nominated.

    And BTTF not getting any.

    When I was compiling the nominations, every time a new one came in for it, I was like ... WTF???

    I thought you wanted to :)

    Star Wars and Lost in Translation would be the two I wouldn't be keen on.


    Office Space is absolutely class!

    Haven't watched it in a while, but I'd say that The Blues Brothers and Airplane are possibly the two movies I've seen more than any other. Not really sure what that says about me tbh. :pac:

    BTW, I think the same kinda thing is going to be done again for other categories, by me, or by others. If anyone has any suggestions to make as how to improve it, feel free to share.
