Disturbing lack of Hard Target in every single list posted here. What is going on people

 

 

[filmlover]

Will send in my list before the deadline (even if it's just a top 10) but my goodness was this year full of cinematic riches.

[el sid]

I discovered this retrospective list voting too late and therefore I couldn't catch up on watching some films and I don't want to nominate them only because I know that they are famous. Even if they would probably be on my list like e.g. Philadelphia and many others. So at the end I had only 18 titles on my list and have to send a list of 15.

1. Cliffhanger
2. Gilbert Grape
3. Schindler's List
4. Demolition Man
5. Nightmare before Christmas (and Corpse Bride is even more sweet)
6. The Man Without a Face
7. Cool Runnings
8. Last Action Hero
9. Jurassic Park
10. The Firm
11. Hot Shots! Part Deux
12. Falling Down
13. The Pelican Brief
14. Sommersby
15. Red Rock West

Army of Darkness is such a great film, it deserves to be listed twice! 👍

 

(sorry, this has been eating at me ever since I noticed it yesterday and I decided to save @Cap some time 😉 )

((is a really good film though))

and this is why you have the lists organized in like three different ways. Cause otherwise it would be starting over.

(also, Mr. I do not send that list cause I think rankings art something I am not participating in, but my name is Literally from a movie from 1993, where is your 15 movies!!!!!! 😘)

not too late because you still got something in! Also, the list of 15 are super helpful. Because with their different points, it’s really making that there is no ties in the top. I don’t think our first tie happens until like around 35. So every list counts!

Sorry, was trying to edit my list, and just accidentally doubled down on a film. 

 

Really, there are too many movies I like from 1993, which was the biggest issue with making this list. 😄

Thank you to EVERYONE who has submitted so far.  I have 23 lists! Since I won't start posting the results until Wednesday, and  I am fishing for 30 (Since this is 30 for 30), I will accept any list of 15 or 30 until basically I open the Results Thread on Wednesday or early Thursday.

 

Again, we have a SUPER tight race.  There's some 😱 in here.

A little birdie told me that We Need A Hero to get this list to exactly 30 for 30.

 

So if any of y'alls have been finalizing a list or not quite done with it or whatever, finish that puppy off (lop it off at 15 if you have to) and send it to Cap, pronto!

 

Coz, trust me all, you DO NOT want *me* to be List Number Thirty.

 

No.  Really.  Trust me on this one.  

[filmlover]

Sent in a Top 20! Lot of nostalgia picks and still ended up leaving off some stuff that would've been worthy of inclusion but this was such a strong year. Definitely one that really got me into movies.

Even though I don't have the fugitive at number one, I hope it wins for this list. It's also great to see falling down get some mentions in a few lists. Too bad, I'm assuming, a lot of people here haven't seen Indian summer. It's such a fantastic film and I'm confident that if more people had seen it it would have made a few lists.
