Star Wars easily.

Re: OS Movie Madness Tourny. Rnd 1. Grp C

I voted the Warriors, because the Star Wars series has never interested me and there's so much talk about how those are the best movies, I had to vote for a movie I have seen and IMO was a great movie when I was growing up.

to be fair, the point of the OS tournament is to pick the best movies in the eyes of OS...so if a member is going to vote between two movies, and they have seen one and like it, and haven't seen the other, i don't see why they shouldn't vote just because they haven't seen the competition.

I suppose it's a bit of overkill to even debate this point, but here goes:

I didn't see anything where the OP said it was your favorite movie. This is a comparitive competition.....as in which one is better. You can't judge if one thing is better than another with no frame of reference on one of the things being judged.

It's like saying a Snickers candy bar is better than a Milky Way when you've never had a Milky Way.

It's impossible to make a comparison.

Oh well.....[/rant]

Never seen warriors, so I gave my vote to Star Wars. Although, having seem the movie somewhat recently because Spike and some other channel was playing it over and over for weeks on end, it's definitely not that great, either. The dialogue is downright ridiculous at times (I never noticed it before, until I payed attention), and there are some really cheesy sequences.

That said, I've never seen Warriors - so I voted the one I have seen.

I had to with Star Wars...groundbreaking effects and a merchandising beast.

Plus the story was pretty good, even if it was largely borrowed from Kurosawa.

I love people who say they've never seen Star Wars movies. They're like people who don't own televisions - all of whom do so solely for the purpose of being able to say, "Actually I don't own a television" when someone starts talking about something they saw on TV.

Anyway, Star Wars wins partially because it's the far superior film, but also partially because like Johnny said, it was groundbreaking. Probably the most groundbreaking film released in the last 41 years. It shaped the film industry for years to come in so many ways and became a part of our culture like no other movie has since. To get an idea of how friggin' huge the release of Star Wars was, check out the "Empire of Dreams" documentary on the DVD Special Edition set. It's great.

True, but I hated Star Wars, and never even saw The Empire Strikes back or any other sequel other then fragments during channel surfing. IMHO a vastly overrated film and I know I'm in the minority.

I hated them both. So I went with the lower seed just because I like the Cinderella stories.

Wait...Skerik agreed with me? I guess hell has frozen over and I'll soon be on my death bed [real or OS figuratively]. I'm just stunned!



And you folks who hate Star Wars...wait until you have children, and if you were children when it came out, shame on you, LOL.
