    We had a few demands for another "vote off a _____" thread after the last one, so I figured I'd start another to see if it works out. If it does, cool. If not, no biggie.


    For those of you who are new to this, I'm going to list some war movies. They'll each start out with 5 points. You can only vote once every 4 hours. When you vote, you add a point to one movie, and subtract a point from another one.

    Example:

    + Patton
    - Red Dawn

    You'll then update the list after your addition and subtraction. Patton would now move up to 6 points, and Red Dawn would move down to 4.

    If that's not clear enough, just sit back and watch the voters who know what to do. You'll catch on quickly.

    Once a Movie reaches 0 points, it's officially "voted out." The last remaining Movie obviously wins. Once there's about 10 movies left, we'll switch to subtraction votes only just like the "Guy Movie" thread.

    You may have to do some editing, so once you've posted your vote, please make sure that no one else was voting during the same time you were. If someone did, edit your post to correct the list. If you notice something wrong with the list, go ahead and update it.

    If you think there's a war movie worth adding, go ahead and speak up early in the voting. If it's a movie that has a shot at winning, I'll add it to the list.


    I'll start the voting.

    it would also suck if a wishy washy pos like saving private ryan came out on top. besides, band of brothers is a miniseries.

    a midnight clear is a far better movie than any of those. , even tigerland is better than those bloated movies.

    eh, either way i'd say those 3 are more solid than jarhead or black hawk down. to each their own though, i guess.

    It wasn't exactly a work of art, and it's certainly far from being my favorite, but for those of us who grew up during the cold war, the reality of something like that possibly happening was something you dealt with everyday.

    Regardless of what you might think, you have to agree that Red Dawn kicked some commie ass.

    "Wolverines!"

    i see your point, but i thought jarhead was good, better than those. lemme refocus on gladiator here - might as well put empire strikes back on the list. personally, i believe ridley scott ruined the war movie in general with his super shaky cam.

    1. i didn't say anything about those two movies
    2. i thought braveheart (don't care about historical accuracy) and gladiator were great movies...and the patriot was fun to watch
