        LOL,I guess I am. Maybe I'm not sure about the rules-do you have a limited number of vetoes or should you just hold back? I'm not trying to be a party pooper or the Veto Nazi, just trying to participate. On the other hand I see your point. One of my posts contained a "blanket" veto of several movies which was quickly responded to by the thread's author daflyboys and I complied by picking only two. I will continue to watch the thread with interest and throw in a nominee every now and then but will not post a VETO until I get a green light. Point well taken, no hard feelings.

              While a good and ambitous idea, the implementation aint workin'.

              You should probably get together a list of about 200 legit movies. and start whittling it down to 100 from there.

                  Some guys started to get a little pissy with out-vetoing other vetoes. I really thought that pretty much everyone here would be able to collectively come up with a legit list.

                  If the initial list of 200 or whatever comes from me, then I get criticized for leaving out some obscure independent film that someone loved.

                  Whereas a lot of guys clearly put some thought into this, a few wanted to use it as a thread to make a point or get a little vindictive or what have you. So if someone else wants to take it over....no great shakes.

                          Sorry - but how the hell is Star Wars III on there? That perhaps is one of the worst movies I've seen in the last 10 years.

                          The dialogue. The acting. The story. It was all just pure rubbish.

                          That movie gets a definite VETO from me.

                            To each their own, Me and Ebert disagree.

                              Just a suggestion (and kind of ambitious) but why don't we just set the eventual list of nominees up in a poll format and vote on the ones we find worthy of Top 100 (or Top 50) status?

                                Whats the max you can put on a Poll here? I doubt its 50 much less 100.
