    Default The Best Movie of All Time Tournament - Nominations

    This idea is simple. We'll compile a list of movies from nominations as chosen by all of us. I put them in a groups and we have polls in groups, maybe five days or a week apart, in which we vote on which on we like the best. We'll probably start 128 as there are so many. That number will be chopped in half and the chopped in half again until one one remains. The polls will start off with Eight movies and the top four move on. When were down to 32 the polls will have Four movies with the top two continuing. Final 8 or 16 will be head to head battles.

    In the end we'll have annointed the greatest movie of all time.

    The rules are simple:

    1. A movie can only be nominated once. We don't need 15 people saying Blade Runner lol

    2. Nominate two movies per post, number them in sequence from the last post.

    3. You have to wait until at least five other people have made nominations before you can nominate again.

    4. Ties will result in a separate poll open for only one day.


    When this is done there will be a Best Movie Character of All Time Tournament which is a favourite of mine. Pitting Ash, Jack Sparrow, Agent Smith, Khan and Indiana Jones in a battle for supremacy.

    There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.

    Yes Jean, all films can be nominated. They just may not go as far as some American movies, all depends on who votes and where they are placed but I plan on the groupings to be completely random.


    36. Almost Famous
    37. As Good As It Gets.


    please continue from my numbers on left, next is 38. Wizard of Oz was nominated twice becaus they both posted at same time essentially. I can just copy/paste to the original post this way without adding/changing numbers.
