I wanna try an experiment. I've tried this in the past on other forums tracking other things, but i wanted to try it out just to see what kind of results we get.
I'd like you to give your top 4 movies from/made in the 90s - in order. I'll leave the thread for a day or two or something then tally up all the movies and see which one gets the most mentions/tallies. Probably don't wanna leave it too long because, if I'm lucky and i get a bunch of posts, it might be a fair bit of work tallying it all up.
It won't tell us much, i know, it's certainly nothing like the game tournament Karma did a few weeks ago, but if things go well then it should give us a chance to bond over shared interests and maybe accidentally pick an unexpected result. That's the real objective of this thread.
note: if you wanna revise your list, or if a buddy reminds you of something, feel free to edit your post. Make as many revisions as you want, I'll just take what you're settled on at the time i make my tally.
Please pick your favourites - not necessarily the highest rated, most viewed, or best regarded flicks you can think of.
Your 1st choice will get 4 points
2nd - 3pts
3rd - 2
4th - 1
When i pick a time to tally it up, I'll do so and stop tracking any new results, but i won't do that for a while if i can. Looking forward to learning about some cool movies.
Why the 90s? Why not? Plenty of great films in the 90s. We can do it for another decade , or another thing entirely, some other time~

Well, that's that, and thanks to everyone who participated. This is more fun when you get a good few pages of voting, and neat little statistical trends show up, little factoids~ Anyway, it looks like GAFers tend to love Terminator 2. I for one am shock and dismayed that The Fifth Element only got one vote - my own.
