Top 10 Movie Categories

Mathematically, I'd have to figure out a way of doing it.

It might be hard coming up with 40 musicals to vote on.

Here's a list to help you.

[skybluesky]

So far I know of 4 musicals that are taken, but I have loads of suggestions. I would recommend watching Hollywood Singing and Dancing, a retrospective of the American movie musical. There was also a comprehensive documentary of the musical hosted by Julie Andrews that ran on PBS a couple of years ago.

Mathematically, I'd have to figure out a way of doing it.

You would do it the same as a regular ten wouldn't you? #1=15 pts, and so on down to #15 = 1 pt. Then again I was an English major.

[MindCrime]

Each person is supposed to accumulate 55 points total though.

[skybluesky]

Like I said, English major

[Farin]

well, for a Top 15 each person would simply accumulate 120 points...

but I have to say it would greatly depend on the theme whether I'd be able to vote for 15 choices

[MindCrime]

and whether I'd be able to count votes without my head spinning

I'm like Martin ... there are some times that I wish there were more than 10 spots, but not always. Then there are the times I'm lucky to fill ten. Honestly I think it would depend on the category.

In a way does it not sort of dilute the specialness of the first ten? (That is going to be an unpopular statement, I think).

[Farin]

Western, maybe combined with Adventure or Adventure and Sci-Fi

Epic Films (ie 3 hours+ in length)

Historical Films, based on real persons or events

Trilogies

How about Sport related movies?...

[Farin]

is there even a good movie about football (soccer)? hmm...

[_Laurie_]

Hmmmm not sure, but there are so many other sports...

[_Laurie_]

Here is a list of movies that feature the sport soccer.

Bend it Like Beckham 2003

Ladybugs 1992

Air Bud - World Pup 2000

The Big Green 1995

Soccer Dog: The Movie 1999

Shaolin Soccer 2004

[Farin]

I was just kidding, you didn't need to do that

and on actually looking at that list: wow, are those bad or what?

[skybluesky]

I like Bend It Like Beckham, but it is too chick-flickey for your average soccer hooligan

[_Laurie_]

LOL...I haven't seen any of those...Air Bud World Pup sounds interesting..

[TheLizard]

Shaolin Soccer is supposed to be pretty badass, in a ridiculously over-the-top way.

They should make a movie about a team's trip to the World Cup. Hopefully they choose my team - Mexico, but it would work with Brazil or one of the other better more believable teams.

if you also mean a non-fictional (aka documentary) film, then: Germany. A Summer's Tale

[MindCrime]

Actually I meant fictional, like a story that revolves around the team's lives as they work together to win the championship.

[Steel2Velvet]

A movie topic suggestion, Best Animal (subject or at least co-subject) Movie. Be it horse, dog, cat, or an incredible journey taken by them, animals often serve as great metaphorical material in movies and there have been some dandies!

Another topic, have we mentioned (or already done) Animated Movies (scratches head as if bewildered.)

[MindCrime]

That sounds good Ron, but please mention it in the Recommendations thread so we don't forget later.

[Farin]

isn't this the recommendation thread? that was why I posted in here as well

[MindCrime]

I really should start paying more attention
