Coming Soon, The Top Movies of the 70s Countdown Game

[SCClassof93]

I will be starting the next countdown game hopefully by the end of the year. I assume JB will not vacate the title. Express any interest to play here. PM me your top 10 by the time I start (I will post a starting date ASAP here. I will update confirmed players here as I get the lists.

It is now OFFICIAL:D, I will send the winner a $20 code via pm for either psn or xbox. If JB or any other of our mod team wins the code will go to the top donor so please be a donor in good standing..

Scoring method

If you guess #1 with your number #1 you get 150pts
These "direct hit" bonuses work all the way down to #10 = 140 pts

Anything you get in the top ten not a "direct hit" = 100 pts
Anything you rate that is counted from #11 to #25 = 75 pts
Anything you rate that is counted from #26 to #50 =50 pts
Anything from #51-#100 =25 pts
Anything from #101-#150 =10 pts

Outside the top #150 = no pts and with this one I hope that will not be a problem, Ram :glare::P:D

If Animal House and Blazing Saddles don't end up in the Top 10, I call a preemptive bullshit on the results! :)

Great movies but not top 10 of the 70's. I am joining this one.

[CLW]

I'm in to restore order to the galaxy and take back what is rightfully mine. :nod:

[morsdraconis]

Star Wars better be #1. That's all I can say. Otherwise, I'm going to kill everyone.

[steelerfan]

Star Wars better be #1. That's all I can say. Otherwise, I'm going to kill everyone.

Well, shoot me first.

Star Wars is dumb and I'm period of the fact that the only one I ever watched was the first one.

That said, you're undoubtedly right about it being #1.

[bdoughty]

Put me down for a shooting afterwards. I hated Star Wars and I was forced as a young boy to see the first two. Bored me to tears but so does pretty much anything Sci Fi.

There are three Francis Ford Coppola movies that should be in the top ten and one of them should be #1.

[SmoothPancakes]

Star Wars, The Godfather and The Godfather: Part II. Those are three definite ones right there that any sane person would include in their top 10.

[morsdraconis]

Oh damn. I forgot about The Godfather. Well shit. That's definitely #1 which means Star Wars is #2 (never was a fan of Godfather 2 personally).

[morsdraconis]

I guarantee the top 10 is in this list of 11 movies. GUARANTEED

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
Taxi Driver
Star Wars
Godfather
Godfather 2
The Exorcist
Jaws
Halloween
Escape from Alcatraz
Apocalypse Now
Alien

[bdoughty]

Good list but I do not think Jaws or Halloween would be top 10. You can only have so may movies horror movies in a top 10, even in the glory years that was the 70's. I think if any horror movie would slip in the top ten it would be Carrie.

Your list is also missing a few that I would consider top 10 material. Replacing the horror movies mentioned and Escape from Alcatraz.

A Clockwork Orange
The Deer Hunter
Monty Python and The Holy Grail

Possible top 10 material
The Sting
Chinatown - although I could never pick a movie from that anal pedophile Polanski.

Deer Hunter gets lost in the shuffle compared to the other 2. I never knew much about it till many years later

[SCClassof93]

As of 12/22 I have only got two lists. None of the previous winners nor the defending champ have entered. May just cancel due to lack of interest. :dunno:
