I disagreed with George W. Bush's Policies even though he was President of the United States and well respected by lots of other people. Are you saying I should have voted for him anyway, even though many of his ideals went against everything I held as being "good criteria" as a leader?
Come on...
I realize I'm in the minority on most things and that's fine. I disagree with many of AFI's top movie picks. I disagree with Roger Ebert all the time. Who cares?
I didn't get any sense of emotion from Saving Private Ryan, I thought it was boring and dull and overrated. I probably won't ever watch it again. Travis obviously felt it was an emotional story and enjoyed it. Good for him. Neither of us are alone in our beliefs and I don't think any differently about Travis. We just disagree on what we saw in the movie. So what? That's what makes the world go round.
V says the movie is in. I'm not taking my ball and going home. Whatever makes it in, makes it in. I still get to express my opinion, as do you, and Sculpt and Straker and Roshiq and anyone else who wants to vote on an open forum. The majority is going to rule in the end anyway.

Exactly. The whole point of this is to create conversation and debate. Were all going to argue over our choices. I don't care if someone neg votes a movie I think belongs in but I'm also going to argue my point for the movie and I'm not gonna get upset if people disagree with me or my movie doesn't get in. As long as nobody's being insulting and offensive There's no reason for anyone to get upset.
