Oh, it's funny how Joel Schumacher is hailed as this horrible, shitty hack director because of Batman and Robin and Batman Forever. He's made some quality films. I quite like Phonebooth and Phantom of the Opera as well.
Movies in the tournament I've seen: 198
Movies nominated not seconded I've seen: 31/69
And at least a dozen of those 31 were my nominations. It's no wonder why I wasn't seconding anything. I hadn't seen most of them. About 25 of the movies I've seen I watched was I was a kid and barely remember. I had an illegal cable box, so I watched a lot of free PPV growing up. Gattaca? Couldn't tell you what happens, but I've seen it several times lol
I don't feel like going through the list to count as I'm working on the groups (randomized using random.org as I usually do) and gathering posters/trailers, but I think I've seen the vast majority of the 256 as well. And speaking of Joel Schumacher, he could have easily had another one in this thing cause I was this close to nominating 8MM. Oh and Gattaca is one of the best of the whole decade.
Gattaca has been on my list to rewatch. I remember a lot of images, and kind of the premise, eugenics or whatever. I think the 90's is the best decade for entertainment all around since the 70's. Not as much great TV, but the great stuff was great. Tons of great films, very big films too. Not as many films in the 2000s have the societal panache of a Jurassic Park, Shawshank Redemption, or Forrest Gump...tons of others too in with those three, like T2 and Titanic. Video Games were breaking out with a lot of great titles. Music was just great in the 90's. Even the pop music on the radio was good. Everything just took a nose dove about 2003 lol
oh good lord i can't believe i haven't nominated it myself! good that it has already been seconded, thank you sharki and MikeDuke!
ETA:
...and this, too, and thanks amd013 for seconding
sharki, you keep nominating bears' favorites http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k2...bear_thumb.gifhttp://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k2...bear_thumb.gifhttp://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k2...bear_thumb.gif (part 3 is my absolute favorite of the three, by the way)
I've seen at least 132, but there's probably a few more. And a handful of them it's been ages, so I don't really remember a lot about them. I'll have to try to watch some more.
Of the movies that actually made it in, I've only seen 110. Most of the ones that I haven't seen, I at least know about, although there are a handful I've never even heard of.
There are a few that I've tried several times to sit down and watch but I just can't get through them for some reason. Pulp Fiction and Jurassic Park are probably 2 of the biggest.
