Movies That Were Probably Made By a Spasm of Six Year-Olds on Acid: The Top 75 Action Films Poll Results Thread

i almost did, but then, i didn't.

there's no reason to stick with the nom list! its just there to get yr juices flowin!

ya i didnt

instead of reading books with them i made the kids watch flash gordon the other night and i was surprised that it was almost two hours. didn't remember it being that long. worth every second though.

I misseed the general. Shame. It would have gotten some points.

I guess it was some ADD gal like youse who had her fucking phone out last weekend for the first 4 hours of Satantango

i hate add bela tarr fans

flash gordon feels 3 hours long tbh

i sat in a rickety chair in a little make-shift movie theatre on nantucket and watched my dinner with andre with my parents when i was a kid. i've done my time in the art house trenches. more sofas please!

some vacation. where's my disneyland dad!?

I wonder if any write-in candidates will make the top 65 or wherever we're at. The only one I think might is Haywire.

my disneyland with andre

for the first 4 hours

Christ. I couldn't handle that at all.

i doubt enough people have seen haywire, but who knows

s1ocki, I could tell she was some NY Mag-reading arriviste who came to New York bcz she watched "Sex & the City," she and her friends bolted at the dinner break.

lol

lotta people got fooled by that bela tarr-directed sex & the city episode

the Bergdorf Goodman Harmonies

this is one of your all time greatest posts doc

p much everyone knows this subphylum of person in NY by now, they don't know ppl fart on the subway either.

i read ny mag fwiw

don't make me draw you a Venn diagram

wish I had voted

omar remains king of stills

max is a samantha iirc

oh totally

Morbs is more of a Miranda than Miranda

well, somebody finally said it.

me irl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHYA4eCbLkQ

ur a youtube clip

where are these other results, I hope omar didn't get in a car chase

also shouldn't it be the top 77 action movies

no

you've been gone for a while, old man

not long enough to forget that this ain't 77 and never damn was

maybe omar's heart will blow up if he doesn't drive a muscle car up an escalator and then have some public intercourse, but surely he could do that while posting form zing

You're an impatient lot. I think it's nice when the reveal threads take a while so people can talk about them. When they're posted too quickly it's all a blur and over too quickly and then I get sad.

Hthe fun of anticipation is the stimulation that causes the feeling of impatience.

e otm tbh more gaps btwn reveals

yeah we established in the noms thread that shots of the lead just sort of wandering about doing mundane stuff helped make 70s action films great, & this is the thread equivalent.

wandering around doing mundane stuff to random jazz horn riffs

randomly coming across the original Assault on Precinct 13 on late-night TV was like being ambushed

same but with They Live - easily the most significant running-across-a-random-movie-on-tv experience of my childhood

for me it was probably the flesh eaters. or don't look in the basement. or children shouldn't play with dead things.

'duel' was always on iirc

i hope #1 is 'inglourious basterds'

I just know omar is going to post the rest as soon as I leave the office, dammit.

unfortunately the rest will have to wait until tomorrow, i'm stuck in meetings all day and i'd hate to have my boss glance over and see me posting a still for *~SPOILER ALERT~* an action movie

could probably get a good fight scene out of it tho
