Terrence Malick is not for everyone. I love his work, but I have to admit; his films are very slow and long.

Dude, Samp, it's DEAD. Much like the actual city, the movie's been sacked. Carrie, you're dissing Midway? For shame!

I want to renominate Gallipoli, but I'm pretty sure it's doomed due to few people having seen it. So, is it even worth the bother of renomination, or not? Bother.
+2 Platoon -4 Saving Private Ryan

There should be a time limit of allowable adding of new movies. otherwise you can just wait till a bunch of movies have been eliminated and than just add a new one that gets to start at 10.

Nominate Kelly's Heroes because not every war movie has to make the audience cry.
-2 Spartacus (Say NO to any Douglas in a leather speedo) -2 Braveheart (If just because my brother subjected me to it far too many times after the VHS came out)

yikes, I was gonna nominate All Quiet on the Western Front, but now SPR is getting a beat down (I thought maybe supporting Braveheart instead, but more negative points seem directed at SPR)
+2 Saving Private Ryan -2 Platoon -2 Enemy at the Gates

-2 Apocalypse Now (wishing I could vote against M*A*S*H. I'm watching it right now for the first time, and it's appalling.)

Eliminated: Troy The Thin Red Line Gladiator M*A*S*H Jarhead Tears of the Sun (Sorry Rakeesh) Master & Commander
My own vote: +2 Gettysburg -2 Jarhead -2 Red Dawn (there's some pretty bad acting in there)
And no time limit on adding movies. If people add good movies that people have seen, they'll stay, if they nominate bad movies that people dislike or any movie that no one has seen, it'll be eliminated. But every movie should get their shot I think. Agreed?

Once a day you get two -2s and one +2. You can't vote for an eliminated movie, you can't vote more than once a day, you CAN use both your negative votes on the same movie.

Oh. Sure, if you think it's the best, more power to you.
Edit to add: Do you think there should be a limit? It hadn't occurred to me, I just figured if it's your favorite movie, you should be able to support it however much you want.

At the very least, this thread will give a lot of people ideas for movies to watch. I know I probably haven't seen half of these movies.

If you guys (Blayne) want to wait, I'll keep updating the list a couple times a day like I have been doing, to eliminate confusion.

Blayne, (seriously? LYTHURN?) none of your votes counted because they are all for movies that have already been eliminated.

You can each revote one -2 if you want, as two of your movies were also already eliminated.
