The Greatest Live-Action Movie Ever (Nomination Thread)

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

I think that some of the humor is dated, but it mostly holds up. I just love Police Story's blend of slapstick and situational humor, though. That court scene where Chan plays that misleading but suggestive recording of Selina (which she tampered with) at the trial (with his girlfriend in attendance) had me laughing so hard.

  Oh yeah. I can't wait to rewatch these.

The Philadelphia Story
Moonrise Kingdom
Boogie Nights
Singin' in the Rain
The Thin Red Line
The 400 Blows
Selma
Dead Man Walking

This makes me want to replace one of my movies and nominate King: a Filmed Record.

[gunswordfist]

Replace Rush Hour with Chinese Connection (Fists Of fury in other countries). Not enough Bruce in this compo.

[Pharass]

If there's still room left, I'd like to add the following:

Army of Shadows
The Saragossa Manuscript
Barton Fink
Once Upon A Time In the West (may already have been nominated, I need to check)

Oh, can I swap out Duck Soup with Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

You don't have to swap. I'll just remove An American Werewolf in London from my list.

[LumRanmaYasha]

Tell you what, I'll replace one of my own nominations with American Werewolf. I think it deserves to be in the competition too.

The max limit of 160 nominations has now been reached and thus this thread will now be closed. If you wish to make any last-minute substitutions, contact me by PM before midnight tonight. Otherwise, the competition will begin sometime tomorrow as planned. See you there!
