Where's Ray Liotta?

[Doomsday Dallas]

Best performance by child actor/actress:




You have to replace one of your nomanee's with Christian Bale in Empire of the Sun.

It really is his greatest movie.

[ROCSteady]

You have to replace one of your nomanee's with Christian Bale in Empire of the Sun.

It really is his greatest movie.

I have him as honorable mention. It is really a great performance and I considered having it. Dunno I guess the others just affected me a little more. I really like character driven plots that rely more on people than surroundings.

I love that "The Cadillac of the Skies!!" scene. Leon, Slingblade, Bicycle Thief are some of my favorite films so it's prolly more personal. Dakota was brilliantly enchanting and Rick was just one that stands out from way back.

[intrinsic]

I don't watch too many movies

Best movies told by a Narrator:

Big Lebowski
The Usual Suspects
Trainspotting
Forrest Gump
Sandlot (probably doesn't belong, but I liked it)
The Shawshank Redemption
Stand By Me

That looks about right...

All I know is Stand By Me has to win this award.


I would like to see some other suggestions...

Young Guns 2 was told by the narrarator... My personal favorite.

[Doomsday Dallas]

then the sh*tiest football movie known to man that should have never been made...


I don't know why you hate that movie so much.

It was good.

Not great, Not decent.... It was a solid film.


If those actors had real NFL logos on their helmets you would of probably thought this was the greatest movie ever.

[intrinsic]

Stand By Me would probably be the one I'd pick though Trainspotting would be a bit higher than pt has it. Yeah, maybe some people who have seen more stuff could add/improve the list.

No I wouldn't...

Best Motivational Speech Nominee

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cz6oxIlmw_M

Adrian motivating Rocky - Rocky III

[rhythmic]

Best motivational speeches I've ever heard:

Ed Harris in The Rock
The troubled teen in Coach Carter
The intelligent kid in The Great Debaters.

[Myth]

How has Bill Pullman's motivational speech in Independence Day not menioned?

And for the category of best sequel after part 3:
Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol
Fast 5
Rocky IV
Lethal Weapon 4
Star Wars Episode III (unless we get to count Star Wars Episode V :D )

I'd also like to throw in Casino for best movie that is narrated, but the winner has to be Shawshank Redemption.

[bagelred]

When I think of Big Ass Epic Movie, I think Avatar. That thing was a f-cking event...espcially seeing it theaters in 3D Imax.

[bagelred]

The best comedy in black and white....shut down the voting, because there's only one answer:





Young Frankenstein....BOOM......drops mic.....

[bagelred]

Category: Best Movie where "Only One Character Survives"

You can add to list, I just have three in my head:

Alien
Predator
Halloween

[andgar923]

Best Horror movie:

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (OG)
