Can we not just replace There Will Be Blood with No Country For Old Men...

...and The Departed really isn't that good either.

The Departed is amazing you complete mentalist.

Meh.

I'd take The Day After Tomorrow over it any day...

...or I suppose if we are comparing more like films. Goodfellas. The Departed isn't close to being as good.

[Mr Yoshi]

There Will Be Blood > No Country For Old Men

And The Departed was great, easier to watch than Goodfellas. Maybe not as epic, but good nonetheless.

[Oblomov Boblomov]

The Departed is amazing. There Will Be Blood would make Paul Burrel's paintings (if he ever was to paint anything) seem exciting.

[Zellery]

Why do we always have to compare films with you Hugo?

Just accept that The Departed is a great film, regardless of how good Goodfellas is.

Am i missing something? It says top 5 but i only see 3?

[Zellery]

It's because most peoples top 5 consisted more of a top 3.

How did the Alien saga come in front of Star Wars?

I'm basing my anger on the first 3 films of each, therefore Star Wars wins easily with Alien 3 being mediocre at best.

[Rubix]

Thanks for everyone's involvement

Thanks for everyone's involvement

Thank you for doing it all.

[Rubix]

It was cool bro, some dodgy films here and there but on a whole it went well I feel. Now for Movie club

[Zellery]

Just looked at the completed front page.

Bar a very small portion of films, I'd say Barry Norman would approve of most of it.

[Rubix]

I'll do it again in 2010 and hope some better films come out starting with Q

Bold = Seen
Italic = seen parts of or seen so long ago that I don't actually remember much of the film.

[Zellery]

I would suggest Alien for you in the first of the film games if everyone in the World hadn't seen it bar you.

[Rubix]

I thought everyone had watched it

[IGM]

Yeah Rubix, this was great fun. I tailed off at the end because my STUPID LAPTOP died on me, but for trilogies and sagas I wouldn't have voted much differently to everyone else anyway (surprisingly!).

Ooh, actually, I may have put Starship Troopers in for trilogies...

[Drumstick]

It's because most peoples top 5 consisted more of a top 3.

How did the Alien saga come in front of Star Wars?

Because Alien isn't massively overrated for starters.

Thanks to Rubix for running this btw.
