Ultimate MovieJustice | Winner

[soratami]

I've never seen either Mulholland Drive nor Moulin Rouge! and of the other three I'd rank them:

1. Gone Girl
2. Scream
3. Fellowship of the Ring

I'd rank them

1. Fellowship of the Ring
2. Gone Girl
3. Mulholland Drive
4. Moulin Rouge
5. Scream

I love Gone Girl and Mulholland Drive despite not voting for either. The latter was in my longlist and the only reason the former wasn't was because I forgot about it when compiling it dd. It's cool there ended up being a wide variety of genres in the top 5.

Never in my wildest dreams did I expect Mulholland Drive to do so well.

Let me get my Betty on and do some sleuthing about everyone here's other movie choices. I imagine the taste to be exquisite.

To make it easier, @DJHazey at the end would you be able to post everyone's top 20 lists? I would love to be able to uncover films from similar movie lovers that might have flown under my radar.

I might get banned for this but I don't like Moulin Rouge. I love musicals and Nicole Kidman so I thought I would love it but it just didn't connect for some reason. I have seen Scream and I liked it despite not being a horror fan. I'm happy that Gone Girl made it this far.
Never seen the other 2 but I've been meaning to watch Mulholland Drive for years.

I don't have them saved in an easy to post format unfortunately, the people you would want to know of would need to post their Top 20.

I chose not to do reveals like a song contest with running reveals of everyone's ballot.

 

[Dangerous Maknae]

The fact that I never knew what is a Scream until this rate happened and now it's almost winning the rate nn.


But I've watched the rest of the top 5 and all of them are iconic.

 

[MollieSwift21]

Wow, I haven’t seen any of the top three.

I guess not the most surprising but was happy to see the Titanic and Moulin Rouge in the top ten!

Crazy that at least 1/3 of our top 20 matched @Lost In Japan.

Feels like a 2010 rate when we were the only two giving Speak Now high scores ñn

Hopefully people will share their full top 20s once the countdown is over - curious to see who else I have a lot of overlap with!

 

[Babylon]

I’m super impressed with Mullholland Drive making it to the top 3. I haven’t actually watched it in about half a decade so I’m well overdue a revisit.

 

[P'NutButter]

If after all this, the winner ends up being Scream...

One of the most intelligent and influential horror movies, winning? I can handle that.

Moulin Rouge is perfection for me, it's like candy for the senses. Gone Girl I still haven't seen...

 

[berserkboi]

Definitely Team Scream out of the two that are left! I enjoyed Fellowship at the time, but the whole Lord Of The Ring franchise became such an overlong & boring mess across all the movies (including Hobbit) that I ended up feeling I wanted all those hours of my life back ddd

[Daniel_O]

I'm surprised and very happy to see Scream so high! It's my favorite movie ever next to the 2nd one.

 

[Ana Raquel]

I stopped receiving notifications here for some reason and shooketh my fave didn't even get to the top 30. Oh well.

Rooting for

 

[Verandi]

Scream?

Like... ok I get it but to a degree. If it wins it would feel like that one time Britney won the Ultimate Popstars rate nn

 

[DominoDancing]

@No hay banda already wrote beautifully about Mulholland Drive, but I still have to chime in with everyone else about how happy and amazed I am that it actually made the Top 3! After some other posters mentioned it early on in the thread I felt quite secure that it wouldn't be an early out, but this is even better.

Happy to see that I voted for all of the Top 3. At the same time, I've seen neither Moulin Rouge nor Gone Girl. In the case of Moulin Rouge...I don't really feel interested in sitting through Karaoke versions of a couple of nice songs, as much as I like Ewan McGregor. Gone Girl...no reason actually. I should finally watch it.

 

[Verandi]

@DJHazey did you reveal the winner here or did you put #1 and #2 at random? *eyes emoji*

I could watch Gone Girl on repeat and still not tire of it. The way Rosamund switches - a masterclass!

 

[livefrommelbs]

TEAM SCREAM.

 

[silkandskin]

Whatever ends up winning, what we’re not going to do is bag on one of the most influential horror films ever just because it doesn’t align with your personal taste.

Scream resuscitated an ailing genre and paved the way for a level of post modernism and self rexflexivity not just in the horror genre but in cinema as a whole. It’s a modern classic and deserves to be respected as such, regardless of whether you like it or not.

Also the rate being so horror heavy shouldn’t be a surprise when it won the poll by a huge margin at the top of this very thread.

Back to you in the studio, Kenny.
