Tek Towers 'Ultimate 80's Movie' - Round 1/Game 11
Thank you again for the numbers Slammy.
Game 10 saw Planes, Trains & Automobiles run riot with double the votes than what Ghostbusters managed as runners up, so PTA goes through seeded with the GB's who respectively are in the unseeded pot. Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan didnt live long and prosper and The Thing turned into noThing (I'll get my coat...) with both movies joining the list of losers eliminated from the competition.
Round 1/Game 11
My own brother, a goddamn, shit-sucking vampire. You wait 'till mom finds out, buddy!
Released: 1987
Director: Joel Schumacher
Domestic Box Office: $32'222'567
Trivia: The merry-go-round sequence foreshadows the order in which the Lost Boys die. Marko first, Paul second, Dwayne third and David last.
Great Scott!
Released: 1985
Director: Robert Zemeckis
Domestic Box Office: $197'902'294
Trivia: Michael J. Fox is only 10 days younger than on-screen mum Lea Thompson, and almost 3 years older than his on-screen dad, Crispin Glover.
Greetings, programs
Released: 1982
Director: Steven Lisberger
Domestic Box Office: $33'000'000
Trivia: The film was disqualified from recieving an Academy Award nomination for special effects, because the Academy felt at the time that using computers was "cheating".
If you want some friendly advice, get a haircut and take a bath. You would'nt get hassled so much
Released: 1982
Director: Ted Kotcheff
Domestic Box Office: $47'212'904
Trivia: An alternative ending where John Rambo commits suicide with Colonel Trautman's gun was filmed, but test audiences found it too depressing so the filmakers changed it so Rambo lives.

Re: Tek Towers 'Ultimate 80's Movie' - Round 1/Game 11
I'll go First Blood with R.A.M.B.O although I've a feeling Back To The Future will be fast forwarded into the next round with ease here judging by the till receipts

Re: Tek Towers 'Ultimate 80's Movie' - Round 1/Game 11
Glad I waited before voting, Back to the Future is awesome, quite possibly the perfect movie in my opinion, love Biff as well. The sequel was great, and the third one was good.
I loved Tron growing up, I thought it was amazing, still quite taken with it, and love that sequel as well.
First Blood was decent enough.
So with my favourite pretty much through already I will vote for The Lost Boys. Great film, great cast, great soundtrack and I always wanted to be one of the Frog brothers growing up.

Whilst reading the papers this morning, I see the makers of TRON are taking legal action against you Siebby, citing that they never stood a chance as you failed to make their promo poster in the original ballot post above the same size as the others.
A career at the SFA beckons for you ma loon having your favourites like that!!!

Dont know why that is because on my Mac, which I type all this shit and copy and paste, its actually the biggest poster of the lot! But you are correct, when I logged into here to check the scores on my iphone it is indeed the smallest image of the lot.
I cant control the size of the pictures when I copy and past so it is outwith my control i'm afraid. I think Tron is a great movie.
