I like the Untouchables. Great movie. I love American History X. Awesome, fantastic movie. Again, I'm so biased on this one. I cannot give you an argument for The Untouchables.

American History X



vs.

The Untouchables



Poll closes Sunday at 8 PST.

[Lucky]

Well damn. This sucks.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

Here's your Untouchables argument. DeNiro wasn't even the best actor in the movie. Fucking Connery PWNED everyone in this.

"You carry a badge?"
"Yes."
"Carry a gun."

Showing Ness the Chicago way to get Capone, and ending up in a hail of bullets for one final lesson. Just awesome. This was probably DePalma's best flick.

[Lucky]

Fuck.

[salmonjunkie]

This one is hard. I can't decide.

[creepy]

The Untouchables is one darn good movie.

AHX is just better. To me, at least.

[The Canadian Content]

To me, it boils down like this:

Q: In how many of these movies does Kevin Costner appear?
A: 1

Q: Is that movie Field of Dreams?
A: No

Q: Is that movie Bull Durham?
A: No

Q: Then Why the fuck would I vote for a Costner movie?
A: Well, I suppose I wouldn't.

That was easy.

Edward Norton vs. Kevin Costner - Ad: AHX

Sean Connery vs Edward Furlong - Ad: Untouchables

Ball bat to the skull vs curbstomp - Ad: Untouchables, because of the precediing monologue and the fact that you see the whole thing

David fucking Mamet vs. whoever wrote AHX - Ad: Untouchables

Untouchables also wins on the "great quotables" factor.
"Where's Nitti? He's in the car."
"He puts one of yours in the hospital, you put one of his in the morgue - that's the Chicago way!"
Sir Sean smacks the guy with his shotgun and asks "How do you think he feels now - better? Or WORSE?"
" You ain't nothin but a lot of talk and a badge!"
"I want this fuck DEAD! I want his family DEAD! I want his house burned to the GROUND! I wanna go there in the middle of the night I wanna PISS ON HIS ASHES!"

AHX is great - no doubt. But Untouchables wins going away.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

I've only seen one of these movies. The one that I saw gets my vote: Untouchables.

[DevSop]

Curbstomp > anything, sorry.

[Courtney]

This is BS. I'll declare this showdown closed if AHX gets knocked out in the first round.















Ok, not really. But...SERIOUSLY.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

How's this workin out for ya Court? Sweet Jesus, all of your faves are getting early exits.

[salmonjunkie]

I decided on AHX. Curbstomp. Venice.

Poor Court. I'm with ya, but if AHX doesn't beat Untouchables, I can deal. Untouchables is a great movie.

But here's a consulation prize: If you ever make it out to LA, I can show you where the diner at the end of the movie is, along with the hot dog shop that the interracial couple gets harassed.

And of course, Solly's nose. You can see it all the way from LA when the smog clears up.

I hate you Long Duck Dong

This is fucked up. Between this and Godfather II, I'm so pissed off. Shawshank and Forrest are barely winning. And let's not even talk about American Beauty, which is getting it's ass handed to it by Field of Fucking Dreams.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

Good to know there still is a God.

[Lucky]

At least this one makes sense. And I LOVE American History X. But The Untouchables plenty deserves its due. It was just a lousy matchup because noone showed the Untouchables love in the nominations and it drew a low seed. Rocky III? That's just a joke.

Oh, and the American Beauty thing makes sense. Because, you know. Plastic bag.

So quick question: Courtney was the hot chick tourney tie breaker because, presumably, she had no rooting interest (Elisha Cuthbert would disagree). Who's the tiebreaker in this tourney?
Is it M-Kid, because he only watches Disney movies?

[The Jewish Cunthead]

OH BURRRRRRRRN!

[Loki]

Knock it off, guys. You've made MKid mad. See?



;D

[National Champion Chris Cole]

I've got a lot of tiebreaker smites to hand out. I don't see a Disney Movie in either showdown. You all should be ashamed.

[williamssl]

Then run yourself a showdown for Best Non-Live Action...or animated...or whatever is inclusive enough to include the likes of the the traditional Disney movies like Peter Pan, Robin Hood, the Pixar type things like Shrek, Toy Story, etc, and other stuff like Chicken Run.


Make a rule up front re: whether things like South Park, Beavis & Butthead, fall into or out of the mix.

There's enough in this category to run with if you're so inclined.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

We could do that. It would be fun. I'll give it some thought. Work is really busy for at least two weeks but maybe after that I'll have time to put in the effort. By then the others would be closer to wrapping up anyway.

[salmonjunkie]

I will do deals to make sure The Iron Giant wins it all.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

That's not very Disney of you. Your votes are going to be DQed right from the get go.
