Alright, Serg was running my brackets and these three are tied for the last spot. Instead of giving Shawshank a buy, I decided to let you guys decide which one makes it to the tourney. Poll will close TODAY at midnight.

The Prestige



The Green Mile



Gladiator

[The Canadian Content]

Gladiator for me.

[DevSop]

Prestige for me.

[Batman]

Let's keep in mind that this is most likely just a race to see who gets crushed by Shawshank in the first round. Personally, I think Gladiator is a better movie than Shawshank, but based on the nominations I seem to be in the minority on that.

[Courtney]

Yet I thought about that too. I would not vote for any of these over Shawshank. But I don't want it to just breeze through either.

Prestige.

[punk/core]

Fuck, I thought I still had time to get my nominations in since they were due today... I didn't think you were gonna set your alarm for MIDNIGHT and start the brackets!

[Courtney]

Actually the noms were due yesterday. I was just doing this to see what would be the last movie in.

I don't mind if you go ahead and put your noms up. Serg might have a problem since he's doing the brackets.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

Having never seen Shawshank I'll be voting for Gladiator or the Prestige.

[Courtney]

What?!?!

How the hell have you never seen Shawshank? Morgan Freeman! Tim Robbins! Greatest prison movie ever!!!

Eh, I'm not worried about it. For most of the movies on my list, I would have been the only one who nominated them, so they wouldn't have made the brackets anyway.

[creepy]

As much as I liked the Prestige, it had to have that shitty "you'll never guess the ending" tagline. So of course, I guessed the ending first chance I got.

I hate Hollywood marketing.

Oh, I guess Gladiator.


Oh, and Coolhand Luke > Shawshank. I just forgot.

I'm not sure that's as strong a statement as you think.

I've never seen Shawshank either. But I've also never seen Gladiator or the Prestige. So I voted Green Mile by default.

I have access to Shawshank and Prestige so maybe I'll give them a viewing. But fuck Gladiator. No interest at all.

Doc, I've never even heard of that movie.

Ok, greatest prison movie ever is a little strong. Greatest movie set in a prison that really isn't about being in prison!

[Lucky]

Of course you've never heard of it. You're a girl. And apparently not a lesbian.

But if you were a guy you'd know right where Doc was coming from.

You sir are correct.

It's on my Netflix list but really I had no desire to watch the movie and only now want to watch it because people have said it is so good. If not for word of mouth I'd probably still have zero desire to see the movie.

Even if I do see the movie Gladiator is really my type of movie. I'd probably be more inclined to vote that way regardless.
