re: M/TV Board Best Action Movie of All-Time TOURNAMENT - NOMINATION ROUND

I'll listen to any suggestions.

You are gonna need to do another section for different kinds of action movies besides regular and superhero. There are too many and films like No Country and Blade Runner have traits of action but are both forms of noir.

Blade Runner is neo-noir or cyberpunk noir

I don't know what the sections are but The Fugitive is one of the greatest action movies ever and it needs to be included if these others are included but it's more of a Thriller. I mentioned The Dark Knight earlier and thats a crime drama more than a superhero film.


ETA: Need to see the list of 64 before I say there are too many*

ETA2: Maybe the 4 Brackets of 16 are

S&S (Schwarzenegger & Stallone)
Thriller

And then two others.. Noir..Police..Post Apocalyptic/Sci Fi..Non-Traditional

If it gets enough nominations it will be on there, I havent started counting. I think most consider it a action thriller. In previous tournaments, 4-5 votes typically is the bottom of the bracket.

The only thing with that is you would probably be eliminating movies from the tournament that got more votes than others. When the seeding comes out, people always complain, even though I don't determine them. I just go with a simple system. The top 4 vote getters will get the #1 seeds, the next four get the #2 seed, and so on and so forth until you fill up the 16 seeded spots. It's not perfect, but doing these for years now, it's the way to get the least amount of complaints

That is a crap list

Why such an aggressive and unpleasant approach? Those are simply his nominees. This thread is designed to allow other fans to nominate their favorite films.

Settle down. If you like different films, nominate them. Everyone will have a chance to vote on both yours and his.

That is a crap list

Not a single Stallone movie?

ALL these, at least, should be on the list:
Rocky 4
Rambo 2
Cliffhanger
Demolition Man

Well shithead, you have the ability to nominate them. There are very basic rules to this. And it's pretty odd calling my list shite when it includes movies widely viewed as some of the best movies of all time and yours has Rambo 2 on it. But ok.

Mission Impossible - Fallout (#7 - 2018)

There's a fair amount of people around here that don't consider The Dark Knight a super-hero movie. I'm looking at you Freauxen. But as the tournament host, I will allow myself to make one ruling decision and count TDK as a super-hero movie, like any sane person would, therefore ruling them ineligible from this January Madness.

This is the correct call if we are going hard against superhero movies.
