Movie madness........

[notashelbyfan]

I was on a message board a while back and they did what they called movie madness they played a tournament 64 movies and used polls to find the best movie ever they also done it with food and other stuff what do yall think, yall think it would be interesting?

We did this with cereal.

It was the greatest thread this board has ever seen.

 

[notashelbyfan]

I'm game and will try and get it going let's get some ideas.

What do you say break the regions up in types of movies say comedy, horror, action, drama or say sports, Western, something like that?

Which cereal won again? Damn, I should remember the important crap like that....

 

[tarheel0910]

One person needs to pick all 64. I'm not going through another draft. You people take too long.

 

[notashelbyfan]

I was just going to make a thread and ask for names for say sports movies aND go from there and I could fill in the replacements if we didn't get enough but that would give everyone a chance to at least have their favorite move in the game!

 

[TarHeelNation11]

I predict a lot of movies that were made before I was born.

Cap'n Crunch, of course.

He's so popular that he garnered 17% of the presidential vote in a survey last September, ahead of even front-runner Deez Nuts. I assume the ballot listed him by his legal name, Horatio Magellan Crunch.

His campaign is destined to fail, though, because millennials are so damned lazy that they don't want to eat cereal because of the clean up involved. The clean up. For cereal. Seriously.

Maybe but this is a tournament for only the best so even if they are old you should have seen them

 

[coolwaterunc]

That cereal tournament was a total crock. BS on all accounts.

 

[tarheel0910]

So are we narrowing this down to sports movies? I can easily make suggestions for that. Who is going to do the seeding for this thing?

 

[heelz2345]

I'm definitely on board with this, and I would be happy to help keep track of seed/regions if need be. I do think it would work best if the regions were separated to some extent by genre, like comedy, action, drama, etc. But yeah, I'm happy to help or do whatever for this.

My #1 seeds:
- Fern Gully
- Fantasia
- Bucky Larson: Born to be a Star
- Dumb and Dumber 2

 

[tarheel0910]

Why don't we just stick to one genre? It's going to be difficult comparing movies across different genres.

Well, as it's currently laid out, you're either gonna have 64 of one kind of movie, or you could have 16 of 4 genres of movies, and you only have to compare styles when it gets to the final four. I'd rather have the latter, personally.

Actually, it's Dumb and Dumber To. You have to be careful, otherwise people might think you meant the prequel Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd.

I guess we can just leave it up to @notashelbyfan since it was his idea. As long as I don't have to be involved in the seeding them I'm ok with either one.

@Raising Heel right now

I, too, volunteer @heelz2345's services.

What are the four regions? Spitballing here:

1) action/adventure/westerns/epics
2) comedy/animation
3) drama/crime/war
4) potpourri (sports/horror/sci-fi/fantasy/musical/documentary)
