Never saw either movie, so I can't vote.

I cant comment on Shawshank, but you really should check out Chinatown. Although it moves pretty slow, it's a great movie. The last line is a classic, too.

taylorsmommy 11-02-2005 12:05 PM

Well, anything that has Jack Nicholson in it........is great

One of his best, IMO.

The_Return 11-02-2005 12:34 PM

Anyway, only 2 more votes and Chinatown sweeps it! Can Shawshank come back?

novakru 11-02-2005 12:38 PM

Chinatown.

It would have been Shaw,if they hadn't shown it on TV,badly cut, about 100x!I hate this movie now.

The_Return 11-02-2005 12:43 PM

Could this be a shutout?

4-0, Chinatown only needs 1!

The_Return 11-02-2005 05:12 PM

Come on people....more votes!

noctuary 11-02-2005 07:47 PM

Chinatown, no doubt about it. A true classic.

slasherman 11-02-2005 07:55 PM

Chinatown

Despare 11-02-2005 08:07 PM

Eh, it's late... too late... but I'll throw in my vote for the losing Shawshank because I prefered that movie for some reason.

bwind22 11-02-2005 10:17 PM

chinatown

The_Return 11-03-2005 01:05 PM

Forget it, Shawshank. It's Chinatown.

:p


Chinatown kills the compitition 7-1!

The_Return 11-03-2005 01:11 PM

In some places, this could be a pretty good match. But considering this is HORROR.com....I dunno.


ROUND 1, MATCH 13


Halloween

Mallrats

Despare 11-03-2005 03:15 PM

Wow... I started to type my answer and realized that I LOVE both these movies but I guess on a regular day I'd be more likely to pop in Mallrats then Halloween. But Halloween is so important to the slasher flick and I love Carpenter. Hmmmmm, hold on random pick out of a hat... looks like Mallrats today.

novakru 11-03-2005 03:15 PM

Mallrats

The_Return 11-03-2005 05:39 PM

In what I would consider a surprising turn of events, Mallrats pulls ahead by 2!

2-0 Mallrats, keep voting folks!

noctuary 11-03-2005 08:54 PM

Halloween.

I have a confession to make: I don't like Kevin Smith's movies. Any of them.

bwind22 11-03-2005 08:56 PM

I like Kevin Smith movies alot, but not as much as Halloween.

Halloween. Easy choice.

slasherman 11-03-2005 09:29 PM

Halloween...

The STE 11-03-2005 09:46 PM

Halloween

taylorsmommy 11-04-2005 04:33 AM

Halloween

Jacob Singer 11-04-2005 05:10 AM

Halloween.....one of the first horror films I saw & 1 of the best of course

Zero 11-04-2005 05:41 AM

Same, I'll vote mallrats.

GorePhobia 11-04-2005 12:51 PM

mallrats here too

The_Return 11-04-2005 05:14 PM

8-4, Halloween comes back from behind!

Next match as soon as I find the damn book I have them wrote in....

The_Return 11-04-2005 05:18 PM

Heh, it was right in front of me:o


This next match is a tough one, for myself at least. These are both great movies, and I dont really want to see either kicked out this early. Each are VERY different however, so it could really go either way.


ROUND 1, MATCH 14


One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

VS


Sin City

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0...1.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

bwind22 11-04-2005 06:18 PM

Aw shit... This is a real toughy.... Cuckoo's Nest is one of my favorite movies of all time plus Jack nicholson's the man.... Sin City was original, inventive & I loved how true to the comic it was, but it's so new, it's tough to gauge against a true classic...

Sin City. Very tough call

slasherman 11-04-2005 06:24 PM

"Sin City"....even though "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" has better acting...

Not even Vulgar!? (Only saying that because I haven't seen it so I'm secretly looking for some quip that may give me a hint as to how it is.)

Anyway, One Flew Over for sure... Nurse Ratchet is one of the most heaartless chars. I've ever seen and I think it may have been the first villian I actually got angry at. I mean, I actually wanted to kill her, very well played. Great movie! Yes Sin City was good but the charecters just weren't as memorable for me.

GorePhobia 11-04-2005 08:04 PM

Hmmm... I didn't realize that Vulgar was made by Kevin Smith. I've heard good things about it. It's in my Netflix queue, so I'll soon know if I can tolerate even one of his films.

Anyway, my vote goes for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. I liked Sin City quite a bit, but I don't think it's really in the same league.

AmericanManiac 11-05-2005 01:01 AM

Sin City !

Inspector Abber 11-05-2005 03:39 AM

I'm voting for Cuckoo's Nest. (Sin City waned after the first storyette).

novakru 11-05-2005 05:30 AM

Sin City

The_Return 11-05-2005 07:38 AM

5-3, Sin City wins what I consider the toughest match yet.

Next match on its way
