Another good crop o’ war films. Zero Dark Thirty gets my top mark. I liked The Imitation Game when I saw it, but it played so fast and loose with historical fact that it loses points here.

3

Alice in Wonderland
Snow White and the Huntsman

War Movies :confused::confused:

The pre-poll thread was titled “military” not “war” movies. Some of the nominations had military ties without being a stereotypical war movie. For some that tie was pretty minor or tenuous IMO. Since someone nominated them it fit for at least one person. Zeldar went more comprehensive and we get to screen in the voting threads.

I agree–all the other polls steer clear of pure unadulterated fantasy, so why start now? And if you are going to include pure fantasy, why these and not any of the LOTR films? Bizarre.

6

Can I use my votes to subtract from Hurt Locker?!? I probably won’t use them all to tack on a -7… probably. :smiley:

Too late anyway. Don’t tease and tell me I could have.

7

Inglourious Basterds?? Really? Yeesh.

8

It did have some of the best blood, gore, and senseless violence I’ve seen in a long time. Outside reunions on mothers side of the family, of course.

HOW DID WE EVER FORGET Enemy at the Gates? :smack:

9

Oh – because its on the other list. Never mind.

10

I nominated those, but I also clearly marked my post as including a few “joke” entries. That being said, those two films took the Braveheart template (which got 13 votes) and rubber stamped it onto new characters. Given the dubious historicity of Braveheart, I wouldn’t say that they’re all that much more fantastical. But they are just as much military movies as it is. Very peculiar movies to have made as military movies, but so it is.

11

I wonder how many people got the joke at the end of Burton’s Alice in Wonderland … about “going to China.” You know: China, Victorian Britain, tea, the Opium Wars, all that… :rolleyes:*
