Solaris
District 9

Coming soon:
Going with here:
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
Never Let Me Go
Edge of Tomorrow
Solaris
District 9
Back to the Future
I want to watch Never Let Me go, looks interesting...
Island of Lost Souls is an early adaptation of the Island of Dr. Moreau, very disturbing and much better than the Brando version in my opinion, it was banned for over 25 years by the BBFC due to disturbing content for anyone who has not seen it, it's a real gem!
And on blu-ray from Criterion!
Not surprised to see District 9 doing so well; an exceptional bit of sci fi, that one. The visuals and art direction are incredible. It's doubly impressive that it was Blomkamp's directorial debut. Talk about coming out of the gate strong.
Voted:
District 9
Back To The Future

I know Edge of Tomorrow is a recent film and not a lot of people have seen it, but I feel it's deserving of being in this tournament.

Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

I was hoping bears would move Nausicaä's bar alongOriginally Posted by Jean
Maybe I need to watch District 9 again. I didn't care for it much the first time through.
I'm with you, Tim. We seem to be in the minority though.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
District 9 kicks ass. Brilliant allegory.

Well, if you can look past the gore, then you will have missed the main attraction.
Despite what anybody thinks about District 9, it's the rare original film that was a box office success and got an Oscar nomination for best picture. I also loved the film and find some of the themes to be very timely and interesting.
I think District 9 is another one of those films that divides people depending on when you saw it. I watched it early in its run before the hype machine got going. I know a lot of people who saw the film after it got popular and nominated for an Oscar and I think the expectations were just too high. I'm not saying that's the case for you guys, but I noticed that among friends and family.

It's a really beautifully-made film. Did you watch the trailer that was posted? I do think bears would like it. Those ohms!
Okay, fine: I'll grant you all that District 9 is at least worth one viewing. If you have a strong stomach. Still I'll be disappointed if it's voted higher than something like Children of Men.
Oh cool, Despicable Me has four votes and Never Let Me Go has two. Well done!
Look at Back to the Future. 25!
