The Boneyard Greatest Movie of All-Time Tournament - The Final-Cut 4 - VOTE NOW!

These are 2 separate matchups. Please pick your favorite from each pair.

  • Total voters
    82
  • Poll closed .
First time I was in Philly was in summer of ‘85 for Live Aid. Four groups of friends met there from different parts of the country and we needed to arrange a meeting spot and distribute the tickets, which one friend bought for all of us. Guess where we chose for the meetup? Yep. And every one of us ran the stairs and threw our fists in the air as we arrived.
 
Poll within the Poll:

Who did it better?
(This is just for silly fun, even I’m not too, hmm.. obtuse? to deny who will win this)

Andy’s Triumph!

Very helpful.
Your post that uses the word is wrong, and not just literally.

No actually it doesn't. Reread the definition and see if you can figure out why.

I didn't use the verb "do," so I don't know what you mean by "doesn't." Even allowing for a minor mistake and correcting it, I cannot "figure out why."
I'll call.
 
If anyone still wants to vote on the final of the Movie Tourney, it’s in the Entertainment board for some reason. Last few hours for votes.

I'd rather sit down and watch Goodfellas any day over Godfather. Sound track alone makes it more fun. Still, Godfather is the better movie.

Goodfellas should have points deducted for failing to show Henry Hill's involvement in the BS College BB point shaving scandal of the late 70's/early 80's. It would have been fun to have their reputation forever stained on celluloid.
 
Shawshank is an absolute classic but I don't think it does any particular thing really great other than story-telling which to me isn't GOAT material. Inception as a 62 seed against the top seed was unfortunate and The Departed met a similar fate. The Godfather had a tough road. Jaws should have crushed Animal House. Star Wars, the king of sci-fi, is missing. Titanic was very entertaining. The Sound of Music.

I think it has to have a lot of drama, some thrills, and some comedy, some romance. But straight comedies, I don't know. It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World should be some of these others.

Anchorman? Step Brothers? No, no, no. Throw in Scarface or Scent of a Woman before Heat.
 
Wall Street and The Wolf of Wall Street. Classics.
Casino.
 
Odd that this thread re-emerges tonight, but it has been a great week for classics on the big screen.

Monday was a 4K showing of Robert Altman's "Nashville" at Trinity's Cinestudio.

Last night was a new 35mm print showing of Stanley Kubrick's "Clockwork Orange" at Yale

And tomorrow (October 12, 2019) is a 35mm showing of...

Yale has also recently show Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing" and George Roy Hill's "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid."

Upcoming, also directed by Kubrick, are "The Shining" and "Barry Lyndon."

Am I the only one currently trying to piece together where Kolumbo's been since April while also trying to remember they have bagel bites in the toaster?

(S)he's been rushing on @Spartacus and engaged in related activities in an alternative reality chamber where he might just as well be called Kolludo.

And I thought you were you were the only 49 year old single male who [something I can't remember], and now I have to back to sleep after peeing.

Couldn't agree more Kolumbo. Makes you wonder about the collective IQ of the Boneyard, when all the votes were counted the top four greatest movies of all time were two movies about the Mob, one starring Sylvester Stallone, and a prison movie. All great films, don't get me wrong, but the best ever? Lol
Forget The Sound of Music, The Wizard of Oz, The Apartment, Vertigo, To Kill A Mockingbird, A Place in the Sun, It's A Wonderful Life, Saving Private Ryan, How Green Was My Valley, Dr Zhivago, Citizen Kane, The Caine Mutiny, M*A*S*H, Gone With The Wind, The Quiet Man, Schindler's List, Wuthering Heights, Shane, Giant, and many others.
