    The Rules

    2. Remakes ARE allowed.
    3. Movies will be ranked firstly by number of Nominations and secondly by total gross box office receipts for full clarity.

    I thought I read somewhere they were.

    I haven't watched the second yet.


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 27,662 Mod ✭✭✭✭Posy


    I found the second one much better than the first, tbh!
    Not sure about a third- hope they don't just flog the franchise to death!
    Now, must get thinking about my nominations...

    I personally preferred the first (the 'baddie' in the second one really irritated me for some reason) but the majority of people seem to think the second is better.

    The Snowman
    I was going to nominate this one myself but due to the fact the run time and the fact it never released in the cinemas I think we should save this one for the TV specials (tournament coming soon ;) )

    Other nominations -
