The Greatest Live-Action Movie Ever (Nomination Thread)

[Spark Of Spirit]

Raiders of the Lost Ark
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings
Gone Baby Gone
The Terminator
Aliens
Copland
Groundhog's Day
Ghostbusters
Big Trouble in Little China
X-Men: Days of Future Past
Captain America: The First Avenger
Captain America: The Winter Solider
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Die Hard
Lethal Weapon
Lethal Weapon 2

Most of that was filling in holes.

You got Gone Baby Gone but missed The Town and Argo?

I like it more. But if the limit gets raised I'll probably nominate them.

I'm personally confused as to why I had to be the one to nominate Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Speaking for myself, I didn't want to nominate more than one movie from any one franchise, and Last Crusade is my personal favorite IJ movie.

Probably because it's so obvious that everyone just assumed thst someone else would nominate it for sure. Looks like you were that "someone else."

[LumRanmaYasha]

^ This too.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Shame. Some great movies aren't going to make the competition then. 

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

It's irrelevant, really, because I've already nominated the best movie ever made.

I hope you weren't deterred from doing the anime music competition by what I said. I was only half serious ...but I will definitely do it after I finish the video game music tourney, like I planned.

Nah, I wasn't planning to do consecutive music tournaments in the first place.  I'm also just kind of tired of running anime/manga related competitions, so I probably won't do one of those again for a bit.

Good.  I don't want to be the Microsoft of this board

Yeah, it's John Carpenter's greatest work.

I'm glad Homura nominated Casino Royale. I decided on Goldeneye beforehand since I only wanted to pick one Campbell Bond but now this is perfect.

Goldeneye
Total Recall (1990?)
The Maxtrix (I don't care if I'm the only fan of this film on the site )

Avaitor: The last time we did this competition was over five years ago, and with a different group of people. CX, GSF, Homura Akemi, Lord Il, VLord, Pharass, and others weren't here for that. So, it's all fair game, now.

I'm pretty sure I was here for that. Avaitor wouldn't let me vote for The Thing.

The Maxtrix (I don't care if I'm the only fan of this film on the site )

It's not a favorite of mine, but I actually do still like the first one.

[gunswordfist]

That is a billion times better than I suspect some here think of it. It was my absolute favorite movie years ago but that cooled down. I still haven't seen it in its entirety in years but what I did see last year actually gave me a new appreciation for it. Back then, I loved it just for the action.

Oh yeah, same here! It was probably my favorite film for years when it first came out.

My brother hyped it to death and it delivered for me. It took me spamming action scenes from the sequels for me to stop caring for the first movie. I was terrible.

[Spark Of Spirit]

I like the first Matrix movie.

[gunswordfist]

Maybe I'm just referring to Avaitor then.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

I was always kind of lukewarm to The Matrix. When I saw it as a kid I was impressed by the action but didn't understand the story. Now, I find the story to be pretentious, but in a sort of goofy and entertaining way, so I still enjoy the film, even if for unintentional reasons (sort of like how Batman Returns is a guilty pleasure for me).

At any rate, don't mind people not liking a movie that you do. I feel that films like Forrest Gump and Dances With Wolves are legitimately great movies, but modern day film snubs love to shit on them because they won Oscars over what they feel were better movies, and then proceed to find reasons to call them terrible films. I just stopped giving a fuck about those opinions, myself.

Anyways, I notice that nobody nominated Ip Man. I'd replace KFH with it if it weren't for the fact that I feel that this competition really needs its comedy film representatives.
