Ok folks, round 2 is in the books! There were a total of 72 films that got votes and your top 5 were:
Apocalypse Now
Saving Private Ryan
Unforgiven
Schindler's List
Inglorious Basterds
Inglorious Basterds pipped No Country For Old Men with the very last person that voted,.
Here are the results for those interested:
Below is a list of what's made it through so far. Please make sure any film you vote for isn't on this list, otherwise you are wasting a vote.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Onto the next round!
Each Monday, I will set up a new round for the contest.
Each round will represent a different genre of film (I have tried to include all the big genres).
The genres are below (BOLDED IS THE CURRENT ROUND FOR THIS THREAD):
Round 1 - Action & Adventure
Round 2 - War & Western
Round 3 - Fantasy & Superhero
Round 4 - Crime & Noir
Round 5 - Comedy & Romance
Round 6 - Drama
Round 7 - Horror
Round 8 - Sci-Fi
Round 9 - Thriller & Mystery
Round 10 - Animation
Round 11 - The Knockout Round
Round 12 - The Finals
For each round, please list your top 5 movies from the genre in list view.
Please do this by Friday 11:59pm GMT (please stick to this as last time people kept voting late and that causes me massive headaches on the weekends).
5th = 2 pts, 4th = 4 pts, 3rd = 6 pts, 2nd = 8 pts, 1st = 10 pts.
The top 5 movies from each round will go through to the knockouts.
In the event of a tie, I will refer to their Metacritic scores.
I know movie genres cross over (Alien could be horror or sci-fi) so feel free to consider that when voting but don't be an idiot and vote Alien as a comedy or musical.
If you have voted, then changed your vote, please quote your original list and then post your new list and let me know by tagging me, otherwise I may miss your vote by accident.
I will try to start each new round on the Monday after a vote round has finished.
At the opening post of each round, I will put in the results from the previous round and start the voting of the current round.
Once we have gone through the 10 rounds, there will be a randomized UCL-style knockouts round (which people asked for last time).
Then we head into the final round with 25 movies on the shortlist.
Then once that voting is done, I will post the top 25 in order from last to first and crown the overall winner.
I know this is probably not the BEST way but I doubt there is a BEST way to do this!
Remember, I have 2 kids and a full time job so there may be times where I miss deadlines or post later than anticipated. Apologies in advance.
I hope this is fun and you guys enjoy it
