[Tommy]

YAY! MST3K The Movie got a second

[DoctorDodge]

I nominate Shaun of the Dead.

[Heather19]

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil is excellent and should get nominated. I can't think of 10 films at the moment, but I put in a vote for this one.
And I'd like to second Mallrats

And here are some others I just thought of:
Weird Science
Elvira Mistress of the Dark
Earth Girls are Easy

[fernandito]

I say we continue nominating the way we have been until now.

It ain't broke so why fix it.

[Heather19]

I nominate Shaun of the Dead.

Already on the list.

[T-Dogz_AK47]

I nominate Shaun of the Dead.

Already nominated and seconded.

[T-Dogz_AK47]

I am going to second The Terminal (2004) and nominate...

The Nutty Professor (1996)

... I think Eddie Murphy's remake was funnier!

[fernandito]

Second The Nutty Professor.

[Tommy]

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil is excellent and should get nominated. I can't think of 10 films at the moment, but I put in a vote for this one.

So does that mean Dale and Tucker Vs. Evil has been seconded?

[pathoftheturtle]

The Nutty Professor (1996)

... I think Eddie Murphy's remake was funnier!

Funnier than Jerry Lewis? No way.

[pathoftheturtle]

[T-Dogz_AK47]

This is getting messy now. Half of us are nominating as normal, the other half are making huge lists....

[T-Dogz_AK47]

I think we would have to wait longer for people to each post a list of 10 films and then wait for ten to be thirded. IMHO, the previous way of waiting for 5 films before nominating was better. I also don't think moving the goal posts this late in the nominating process is right. Just my 2 cents worth though.

I say we continue nominating the way we have been until now.

It ain't broke so why fix it.

I think these comments are worth repeating.

[pathoftheturtle]

Back to School (1986)

Bowfinger
The Matador

Mr. Mom
Night Shift

The Toy

I could second any of these.

And I also second that!

[Still Servant]

Black Dynamite
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
Rush Hour
Billy Madison
Midnight Run
Horrible Bosses
Pineapple Express
In Bruges
History of the World Part 1

EDIT: I'm not sure what we are doing at this point. Use my list to refresh memories of films that may have been forgotten. I won't be nominating anymore. I've done my part and am satisfied with what's been nominated so far.

[T-Dogz_AK47]

I would second Weird Science (from Heather19's list) and Real Men (from pathoftheturtle's list), but they would have to be nominated according to our previous rules...

[Mattrick]

I hope it's fine I put forward an official nomination (if we go back to that format) as I'll be busy for a bit, and with ten left I want to be able to get on more in.

This nomination is "as serious as an erection problem": The Matador

[pathoftheturtle]

[skyofcrack]

[RUBE]

I know this isn't getting a second and shouldn't win any kind of prize but I already have at least six movies I nominated in and most of my favorites were already nominated before I started so here is a wasted nomination (and a run-on sentence):

Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood
