BoxOffice.com Presents... 1000 Movies to See Before You Die

[4815162342]

Hey guys!! You can start to give well-reasoned explainations (5 to 7 sentences) for why a film should be taken off! 

 

For the record, the following 10 are being removed automatically:

 

9. The Room (2003) - since so many people hate it

 

WRONG. Some films are so bad, some comically inept, they have to be seen. Most people who see The Room would agree with its placement here.

Also, there has to be an organized way of collating the films once all submissions are done. You can't just have people jumping in willy-nilly with random posts saying X film needs to go.

 

There has to be an ordered submission by each participant of say 250 films that need to be removed. Each list is assessed and if any film has at least half of the submitters agreeing on its removal, it gets taken out and is gone for good. Putting a number like "5" as the requirement for removal is both arbitrary and too small given how many people have made submissions to the overall list.

^^ just look at Numbers laying out a bunch of reasoning about... numbers.

[mahnamahna]

Okay... we'll start with everyone picking 25 films to REMOVE from the list! Look at the last couple of pages to find the rules for what films can be removed 

 

Post lists, people!

[Phil in the Blank]

Is it a maximum of 25?

[Michael Gary Scott]

Please spare Almost Famous thats all I ask!

[mahnamahna]

At the moment, it's only 25  makes it easier to tally votes

[mahnamahna]

Please spare Almost Famous thats all I ask!

No reason to remove Almost Famous so you're good 

[Michael Gary Scott]

What is the cutoff year?

[mahnamahna]

What is the cutoff year?

I said 1955 but if you can provide sufficient reasoning (3 to 7 sentences) , films from between 1946-1955 can be cut by popular demand but anything from 1945 and earlier is off limits as are anything on the AFI Top 100 Movies list

Disagree with: 

The Avengers (world-changing superhero movie and the best popcorn film of the last 20 years) 

Super 8 (great homage to 70s/80s Spielberg summer adventure movies) 

Warrior (the best sports movie since The Sandlot) 

Wreck-it Ralph (the first good video game film ever) 

Skyfall (it seems most people consider this to be one of the best Bonds) 

 

Don't want Hunger Games removed but I understand why it needs to be done and the rest I agree with

Does the list have to be ordered?

[4815162342]

First 25 vote-offs (starting from most recent):The Butler (2013)Despicable Me 2 (2013)Grown Ups 2 (2013)Iron Man 3 (2013)The Kings of Summer (2013)Man of Steel (2013)Monsters University (2013)Now You See Me (2013)Pacific Rim (2013)The Place Beyond the Pines (2013)Spring Breakers (2013)Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)The Avengers (2012)The Dark Knight Rises (2012)End of Watch (2012)Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2012)The Hunger Games (2012)Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012)Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted (2012)Pitch Perfect (2012)Ted (2012)Wreck-it Ralph (2012)Attack the Block (2011)Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)Dolphin Tale (2011)Dear God is this going to get ugly, I have only just started looking at 2011 films when I hit the 25 mark. A few 2012 and 2013 films I could not vote off just yet because I have no idea what they are. Plus a few dates are wrong (Spring Breakers should be 2013, Killer Joe should be 2012, etc).

I disagree on AVENGERS (though I expect to be outvoted there).SUPER 8 - no homages should make the list. Why vote for 'em when the originals are available? I liked S8, but it's hardly impressive on any level other than slavish imitation. WRECK-IT RALPH - decent but average animated movie. Why should its content distinguish it from the crowd?WARRIOR - solid enough but again we have a century of sports films to pick from. Does it really distinguish itself that much? IMO, no. SKYFALL - putting aside the fact I find it over-rated, how does it distinguish itself from other Bonds? Its sole contribution is stylistically being influenced by TDK. If you want to represent the new "darker" Bonds, CASINO ROYALE is the one that sets the tone (besides being a better film IMO).THG - again, decent enough but hardly distinguishing.

i think the rule should be that we start from the most recent and vote back from there, 25 at a time.

[ThatMovieGuy]

after reviewing the list there is about 100 films from the 00's and beyond I would say need to go 

 

a few from the 90's and like 2 or 3 from the 80's one of them placed there by me, don't I feel special!

 

Now first off Id Like to Throw in 2 movies I haven't finished watching but was uninterested or disappointed enough for me to mention them. I'm sure I am creating enemies but this is my oppinion. Urotsakidoji: Legend of the Overfiend. I just don't think it fits within this list, I feel that this movie would be better suited in a " Craziest Movies you have to see before you die" list and I'l probably be the only one stating this, meaning it will probably end up staying. Telemachos you were right about one thing it is an unforgettable film.

and the Great Gatsby, clearly a pretentious effort, that seeks out youth as it's audience, that's never able from what I've seen to really keep flowing without intolerable distractions. A prime example of a film that tried to hard.

 

Man of steel - I have a question? can anyone tell me there favorite part of this film? that's not a special effect. this movie is loaded with crummy effects which helps the terrible dialogue and same old story we've heard a trillion times flow. Everything in this film especially all the characters are the most bland thing you can experience in a movie, even Amy Adams who I was really into before this movie made me want to puke, there was just No substance, and I know that's Zack Snyder all Style and no Substance, but it's the combination which makes a good movie. Now when we think about this film what comes to mind? the special effects which were sometimes pretty cool and that's it because there's nothing else in this film that anyone really ever cared about other then superman kicking ass, and flying around. My point being S.F/X don't make a film, they make a lousy film. 

 

And did anyone else notice the annoying shake cams, like god damn with all those millions you can't even use a tripod!

like it's fine once in a while but Zack Snyder just doesn't know when to quit with it.

 

Clueless - . I'd like to vote this off simply because it's not cool to be clueless.

 

Batman and Robin - I don't even think I have to say anything, this film will get voted off regardless. 

 

Alice in Wonderland(2010) - The Day I went to go see this, I have to say I was pumped to see what Burton had in store for us.

Too Bad I had high hopes because I didn't come out of this one with a new take on anything, I literally got a crummier version of what we've already seen, I mean Alice in wonderland the T.v movie was more entertaining then this. Burton's film is bad from the get-go the beginning feels flat and rushed, this movie never seems to take a breather. with all the big named actors and money to add in all these Special effects we see, we never really get enough development or interesting dialogue, and yes the seen with johnny Depp as the mad hatter who kept on appearing quite randomly, didn't strike me as interesting, well written or entertaining at all. when we heard that Tim Burton is making an Alice in wonderland movie, everyone thought, finally a dark take on a classic tale, but what we got was the exact same thing with big actors, which I think made the movie even more intolerable, maybe a laughable film come the future? 

 

The Little Mermaid - So I thought a lot about it and if i'm going to knock on one of these 80's- 90's Disney Films, this has got to be the one. So this movie starts off introducing us to a spoiled brat teenager who wants more in life which is all natural we are human, in her case a mermaid but what gets to me is how she gets what she wants and how they deal with it, I mean what she does sounds like a pretty good deal when you're young, stupid and naive right? the reason I'm mentioning this is because later on in the story she never really learns anything, what she learns, if she learns anything at all, is when I mess up daddy is going to come and bail me out no matter how crazy that SQUIDWOMAN is! Seriously this movie has one of the worst messages in any Disney movie to young girls.I'm not saying that this movie is or isn't going to effect you, but just look at honey boo boo and tell me our society hasn't taken a toll from sublimination, I mean maybe i'm looking into this to much or not enough but besides the music, this film really isn't all that entertaining, and knowing where I am I know this film won't get voted off but I thought people should see this point of view before thinking of this movie as a classic or one of the great Disney films because it is to many, but there's just to many wtf's in this movie for me to not say anything.

 

Mulan - BE A MAN ! best song for a birthday card! So I just thought I'd like to point out this movie is pretty darn stupid for adults a slender woman who disguises herself as a man and when everyone finds out there all surprised? like wth! what's the point of this in the first place, steal you're fathers uniform so that he won't go to war ><, You really outdone yourself here Disney! 

First of all the guy couldn't even walk he clearly wouldn't be along the front lines, he might have even been able to score himself a desk job. But stupid Mulan has to steal his Gear and I guess that makes him a free man? No one seeing this through? I guess not. Just terrible. little kids might not know the difference and that fine, I remember enjoying this movie at a fairly young age, but now, it's like give me a break and that's why I don't think it belongs on this list or nowhere near.

[Michael Gary Scott]

Batman and Robin is a guilty pleasure of mine and it makes me laugh more than any other movie. If the 60s version is allowed I see no reason why it shouldn't.
