Same here. One of them I made in a second. The other was much more difficult. If the toughie makes it to the end though, my vote is going to go to the one that took me less than a second to make provided that one makes it to the end.

 

I have been voting against Wrath of Kahn for two weeks and just cant kill the sucker off.

 

In all honesty I'm not sure Raiders even fits in here.

 

Well maybe this time you'll get your wish.

 

I always figured Indy for action/adventure despite the magical ending. There is some credence to say that the idea is based off the pseudo-science of Chariots of the Gods where it is not magical but some kind of super science. But either way, I have a feeling it will win the overall vote.

 

I felt that way since the beginning of this, glad I'm not the only one. Raider's may by the best action/adventure film ever made, but I've never considered it sci-fi or fantasy.

As for Khan, I have done far worse than hurt Khan; I have voted for Khan. And I wish to go on... voting for Khan. I shall leave Aliens as Aliens left me, as they left her: marooned for all eternity in the center of a dead planet...
buried alive, buried alive.

 

Join the club.

 

Classic.

 

Aliens, all the way, baby!!!


I'm especially remineded of when Ripley is prepping to go get Newt, grabbing guns, ammo and grenades. And finishing with, "Get away from her, you *****!"


Rock on!!!



BTW, why haven't they ever tried another movie about the Colonial Marines??? There is so much potential there for mischief, mayhem and cordite.

 

KHAN

 

you just earned a spot on my WUL

 

Well I could have easily said those things about Aliens also.

 

you can be on my WUL to.

 

Votes have been counted. I'll announce the winner of each genre tonight and then we'll begin our last voting round to decide the greatest movie.

My vote would go to Fantasy regardless.
