why didn't y'all vote for The Incredibles? Arguably one of the greatest animated films ever made?

[mae]

Because it won't need my help and I like the bottom four choices better.

[fernandito]

to paraphrase Alec Baldwin in Pearl Harbor:

It's bullshit Mae!... but it is very, very good bullshit. :rofl:

[Heather19]

The two best movies are at the bottom :cry:

The Incredibles, one of the best animated movies ever made...?

[mae]

Yeah I cannot fathom how Dawn of the Dead of all things is in the lead.

Quit simply because I have never seen it, so I don't vote for movies I have never seen.

[DanHocker]

This is a group of movies I have largely not seen. I think I've only seen The Incredibles from this group.

[amd013]

I have only seen Dawn of the Dead

[Tommy]

I've seen Incredibles part 2 but not 1....:unsure:

[DanHocker]

I've seen Incredibles part 2 but not 1....:unsure:

That's unfortunate, because largely I feel like The Incredibles 2 is a much weaker movie than 1. For me 2 told pretty much the same story as 1 except the villain wasn't as interesting, and you loose the "family learning to work together as superheros for the first time" dynamic.

I'll see it eventually, maybe even before the tournament is over. I have a copy lying about around here somewhere....I did really like part 2 though. It was the highest grossing movie of last year so I'm guessing there will be more of them....

3rd highest actually. Infinity War and Black Panther beat it out. I'm super curious if they'll do another. It took them 14 years to make a 2nd one. That said it is the highest grossing Pixar film of all time, so you're probably right.

[mae]

Is The Fall about to fall out of the tournament? It's such a beautiful film, if people haven't seen it, please do so as soon as possible!

It's bullshit Mae!... but it is very, very good bullshit. :rofl:

Who the fuck quotes Pearl Harbor?

[fernandito]

Me bitch, foh.

[mae]

Every film in this group is still in the running with Babel and Waitress tied for last and The Fall one vote back.

[RUBE]

Need a Waitress vote please.

[Heather19]

Need a Waitress vote please.

Yes, please :D

[Still Servant]

Need a Waitress vote please.

Yes, please :D

Yeah, I agree. A very sweet film. I also love Keri Russell, we have the same birthday.

[mae]

Waitress down to fifth :cry:

[mae]
