Ultimate Popcorn Flick Kumite - Voir Dire

[Cardinals.Ken]

Ok, here's where we'll start things off.

First, I've changed it from "Guy's Movie" to "Popcorn Flick". I want to be inclusive to the ladies.

Second, we'll use the master list from my other Kumite as a starting point.

Here's how we'll work this in the beginning:

Everyone that wants to participate will get one switch-out. Just state which film you want removed, and what you want to replace it with and I will make the appropriate change to the master list.

Here's the list:

[Gee!]

Goodfellas
Troy
Dazed and Confused
Menace II Society

A few off the top of my head..

 

[ozzfloyd]

I would remove Cable Guy and replace it with Young Frankenstein

 

[Chris_Sanders]

As much as I love Christmas Vacation, not a guys movie. I would switch it out for Brotherhood of the Wolf (Monica Belluci naked + martial arts)

 

[Cardinals.Ken]

Goodfellas
Troy
Dazed and Confused
Menace II Society

A few off the top of my head..

Pick one, and let me know which movie off the list to replace it with.

I would remove Cable Guy and replace it with Young Frankenstein

Noted

As much as I love Christmas Vacation, not a guys movie. I would switch it out for Brotherhood of the Wolf (Monica Belluci naked + martial arts)

Le pacte des loups?

 

[MigratingOsprey]

It's hard to find movies to take out ... but it seems that Supertroopers should be included ..... quotable lines, goofy action, boobs, drug & sex references

I also like that there are some goofy movies on there as well

Seems like there should be more Mel Brooks - The Princess Bride or History of the World (pt 1)

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Le pacte des loups?

Yeah but no one knows it by that name.

 

[AzStevenCal]

Replace Back To School with Desperado.

Steve

 

[Catlover]

Add Godfather: Part 2 in place of Billy Madison.

 

[AzStevenCal]

If anyone is looking for a movie to add on may I suggest Raiders of the Lost Ark, Major League or Silverado. I've already used up my choice.

Steve

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Silverado.

Really good choice here.

Jake: all I did was kiss the girl...

 

[AzStevenCal]

Really good choice here.

Jake: all I did was kiss the girl...

We seldom go a week without quoting from that movie. My favorite: "Today, my jurisdiction ends here. Pick up my hat."

Steve

 

[AZZenny]

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.)

 

[Linderbee]

Remove: Planes, Trains & Automobiles
Add: Better Off Dead

Great list, btw.

 

[Jersey Girl]

Remove: Planes, Trains & Automobiles
Add: Better Off Dead

Great list, btw.

Veto. Better Off Dead is NOT a guy movie. That is an 80s movie.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Wait a minute, how is The Hangover not on this list? I change my replacement

 

[Jersey Girl]

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

 

[asudevil83]

i'll suggest adding Kick-Ass

 

[Dback Jon]

Ultimate guy movie: Brokeback Mountain

Remove Rambo 4

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Man no Rush Hour, Legend of Drunken Master, or Seven Samurai either.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

The Asian judge also wonders where the f The Killer and The Way of the Gun are

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

Remove "popcorn flick," substitute "guy's movie."

 

[AzStevenCal]

The Asian judge also wonders where the f The Killer and The Way of the Gun are

Well then, what about Hard Boiled or The Bride With White Hair or a Better Tomorrow or Once A Thief or ......? Maybe we need to have a separate Kumite for non-Hollywood popcorn flicks?

Steve

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Magnificent 7? Rio Bravo?

Men weep that crap like Demon Knight are chosen over all time guy classics

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Well then, what about Hard Boiled or The Bride With White Hair or a Better Tomorrow or Once A Thief or ......? Maybe we need to have a separate Kumite for non-Hollywood popcorn flicks?

Steve

After speaking with the Asian Judge, The Killer barely beat Hard Boiled but Chow Yun Fat is stil going to beat .Ken's ass
