Ultimate Popcorn Flick Kumite - Voir Dire

[Cardinals.Ken]

Since we're going with the good movie interpretation of popcorn flick instead of the silly/corny version, pull off Cable Guy and put in Night of the Living Dead (the original).

Cable Guy was already replaced by Young Frankenstein (per ozzfloyd).

Please pick another film to remove.

 

[Cardinals.Ken]

Has this been resolved?

[Cardinals.Ken]

Saving Private Ryan is hardly a popcorn flick, at least the way I think of the term, and Lethal Weapon (I) is a definite must. But so is Terminator I. (Although I was very tempted to pull This is Spinal Tap -- boring flick - for Major League.)

Lethal Weapon 1 in for Saving Private Ryan then?

 

[Cardinals.Ken]

Happy Gilmore and American History X equal no. Maybe add The Program?

Choose one (Happy Gilmore or American History X) to replace The Program with.

 

[Cardinals.Ken]

i'll suggest adding Kick-Ass

Instead of?

[AZZenny]

Popcorn flick? -- yeah, Lethal Weapon for Saving Private Ryan.

 

[Stout]

Please pick another film to remove.

Hostel, then. I didn't see it first time around. That decroded piece of crap must go!

 

[Dback Jon]

I think you should go to a 128-film bracket

And now, on to the next step...creating the matchups. It'll be by random draw; no consideration will be made for actors, directors, or genre.

 

[Jersey Girl]

Choose one (Happy Gilmore or American History X) to replace The Program with.

Then The Program for Happy Gilmore.

 

[MigratingOsprey]

no way - you can't remove both billy madison & happy gilmore

 

[Cardinals.Ken]

Then The Program for Happy Gilmore.

In the interest of lighting this candle, the voir dire ends at 8am PST Friday 5/18.

I've already finished the brackets.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

I've already finished the brackets.

 

[Cardinals.Ken]

 

[Gee!]

Ok.. I said Lethal Weapon but never said what to replace it with.. Take out Tropic Thunder..

oops.. dint get to the last page to see the final list..

 

[dreamcastrocks]

I think that you need to go back to 'guy's movies' because I don't consider almost half of those movies popcorn flicks.

 

[Gee!]

I think Heat needs to be added in there somewhere..

 

[Chaplin]

I think that you need to go back to 'guy's movies' because I don't consider almost half of those movies popcorn flicks.

+10000

The Usual Suspects?
Better Off Dead?
American Psycho?
Spinal Tap?
Waterboy?

I think some people need to revisit their definition of popcorn movies, because there are several there that are nothing close to being a popcorn movie.

 

[MrYeahBut]

Chinatown not there???

 

[Linderbee]

I think some people need to revisit their definition of popcorn movies, because there are several there that are nothing close to being a popcorn movie.

I don't really need to revisit my definition of a popcorn movie. I think that's the problem here--everyone has a different definition. To me, it's just a fun, brainless movie you can chomp popcorn to.

IMO, Better Off Dead is the perfect representation of that.
