lol, yeah. coms would be more interestin

cant say id really look forward to a 5k-post thread in which people argue about what constitutes "funny"

Brittany Murphy dead, Ashton Kutcher alive = proof there is no god

how about a sleaze poll, a la "9.5 Weeks"

hey would y'all be down w/ this:

ILX MUSIC VIDEO POLLS discussion thread

i think a THRILLERS or even better EROTIC THRILLERS poll would be funn

this should be done as a ballot poll: ~~ Erotic Thrillers of the 80s and 90s ~~

ha xpost

lol x-posts We had an erotic thrillers poll recently! Not a ballot one though.

It's pretty much all here: http://www.rinkworks.com/funny/

We'll put it in the FAQ

fun newgod post at the end of the erotic thrillers thread

I would like a War Movies poll but I guess I'm the only one. *puts down rifle, unfixes bayonet*

comedy poll vs. erotic thriller poll -> Which is more annoying: arguing about what people find funny or arguing about what people find sexy?

how about an erotic comedy poll

totally awesome movie pol, now with erotic comedies! poll

how about a poll of polls

Rosie O'Donnell in BDSM gear hmm

NO GOD NOT THAT MOVIE PLEASE

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51hsWDYspuL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

i was watching some 'tv's biggest blunders' thing the other day that said dana delaney apparently turned down playing carrie on SATC because the backlash to exit to eden was so bad that she didn't think people would want to see her in any kind of sexual role

dana delaney otm

I don't think Dana Delany would have been as believable in that part as SJP tbh

yeah, would've really shattered SATC's hyper-realism

I just rethought about that and yknow, she wouldn't have been so bad.

but oh that Eden movie was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad

Just saw the final results, that was worthy top 5, and I think DH is certainly a justified winner, being like platonic ideal of an action movie. Here's my ballot, bolded the ones that placed in the top 75:

Le Cercle rouge 50
Leon: The Professional 49
Robocop 48
Dead or Alive (the 1999 Takashi Miike movie) 47
The Great Escape 46
Point Break 45
A Chinese Ghost Story 44
Aliens 43
Demolition Man 42
La Femme Nikita 41
Safety Last! 40
Collateral 39
Le Samourai 38
Big Trouble in Little China 37
Die Hard 36
Ninja Scroll 35
The Last of the Mohicans 34
Terminator 2 33
Darkman 32
Rush Hour 31
Predator 30
The French Connection 29
The Long Kiss Goodnight 28
Starship Troopers 27
Casino Royale 26
Highlander 25
Once Upon a Time in China 24
Mission: Impossible 23
Bad Boys 22
Zombieland 21
Die Hard with a Vengeance 20
Hot Fuzz 19
Miami Vice 18

I was surprised that La Cercle rouge didn't place and Le Samourai did, considering that the former has more action scenes, and more awesome ones too (especially the brilliantly executed heist scene that lasts about 20 minutes without any of the characters uttering a single word). I guess Le Samourai just benefited from being better known?

cercle rouge is so dope

And yeah, I'm all for a romcom poll to be the next one, that's my favourite movie genre.

war movies poll would be good

Dead or Alive (the 1999 Takashi Miike movie) 47

i considered voting for this on the strength of the opening sequence* and the ending, but then the 100 minutes of boredom between them dq'd it for me.

*still miike's finest hour:

lol some dude, I did not say SATC was at all realistic

you have to believe in the world presented to you, right? SJP seems infinitely better suited to the part of Carrie than Dana Delany, who just comes across as innately more together than Carrie ever was during SATC

DD as Miranda I could see.

romantic war movies!

erotic war comedies

i just thought 'believable' was a funny thing to worry about with that fuckin show

"erotic war comedies"

max what place would you have Blade Runner on an erotic war comedy poll

Dead or Alive (the 1999 Takashi Miike movie) 47

I actually liked most of the stuff between the opening and ending, but yeah, I guess my main reason for voting this was the final scene, which is the most jaw-droppingly ridiculous ending for a movie that I've ever seen. I saw DoA at a film festival, and after it ended it was fun looking at the "wtf did I just see?" expressions on everyone's faces.

otm

after watching up to the point where dude gets his throat slit while raping another dude in a restroom ... pretty glad I've never taken the bait with Miike, that shit was pretty obnoxious

xp

The Last of the Mohicans 34

glad someone else gave this mondo points

cant believe i forgot about Hot Fuzz! i think i could've pushed that into the top 75 if i voted for it too

Hot Fuzz def deserved higher ranking
