Better Movie #26 *Hall of Fame Round*
 

Those animated characters gave a good fight, even though Wee Gooner was being a pessimist, but Toy Story still couldn't derail the Goodfellas express.

Now it's Goodfellas' chance to reach Better Movie immortality. But it'll have to go through war to get there.








Polls are open for three days. Happy voting.

And as always, tell us why you voted the way you did. Don't be some little bitch boy hiding in the trenches or behind the barriers. You disgust me.

Saving Private Ryan. Love Tom Hanks and it's probably my favourite war movie ever.

Im not a huge fan of SPR, not really into war movies.

Saving Private Ryan because it spawned the Val Venis porno....jk Every movie Tom Hanks is in is so unique, and this is my favorite one. :D

Um Goodfellas by a fucking mile.

Expect Goodfellas to win this, I don't really see Saving Private Ryan as such a good film just it has a lot of hype behind it. Obviously thebattle scenes are intense and I generally overall like to watch WW2 films. Goodfellas, I've watched once and although I can see why people would like it, it's just not my type of film.

Still haven't watched Goodfellas, but the opening sequence of SPR is one of the greatest ever. :y:

Big battle scenes never really impress me so Goodfellas all the way.

I cant vote for a movie that has vin diesel in it

That's Dieselism.

Saving Private Ryan is notable to me for having one of the largest collections of talented actors who never became superstars ever assembled on film. And that goes especially for Barry Pepper. I thought that guy was destined for greatness. And then he winds up playing Dale Earnhardt in a made for tv movie on ESPN. Whoops.

Don't forget Roger Maris in 61. Barry Pepper plays greatness apparently.

That tied into my thoughts that he was on the track to be big. He puts in great performances in Saving Private Ryan, 61, The Green Mile, and We Were Soldiers, but then for some god forsaken reason he does Battlefield Earth and Knockaround Guys. Come on Barry, have some standards.

Saving Private Ryan. Actually only recently finally got round to seeing it and I instantly loved it. I'm not a big war film fan either really. Just a really good film.

SPR, good film, but GF still way ahead

I bet Barry Pepper, Paul Giamatti, Tom Sizemore, and Giovanni Ribisi were all sitting around watching Vin Diesel thinking "no way this clown will ever be bigger than me." And I bet it eats at them every day.

Go get your fucking shinebox.

Same here

One of my favorite war movies of all time

Seth. You're gay, you're vote doesn't count.

:wtf::rofl:

I think this kind of an easy 5th round for Goodfellas, even though I voted Saving Private Ryan.

What I'm saying is that I like Goodfellas more, but its kind of a given that it would get squashed

I think that's probably a testament to Goodfellas rather than a criticism of Saving Private Ryan.

Saving Private Ryan because:

1. I like it more.
2. I don't want Goodfellas to be in the Hall of Fame.

I didn't really enjoy Goodfellas.

May I recommend early 90s kids movies for the next round? Blank Check, Rookie of the Year, Heavyweights, Camp Nowhere, 3 Ninjas. We must find out which is the greatest 90s kids movie.

Not a very strong matchup for the HoF round... SPR gets my vote.

Heavyweights deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.

Goodfellas

Had to go with SPR. it's just one of those movies I can watch over and over.

Wait a minute! Who are you to neglect the greatness that was Little Giants!!!

The Sandlot wins hands down.... one of the best movies of all time
