Okay, this is kind of a weird request, so let me try to explain myself.

Everyone's making lists. Ask this guy http://www.littosonline.com . I've looked at a couple best of the decade lists from big sites, and some of them are kind of boring. What makes a boring list, you say? It's a lot of things. I don't want to quantify what exactly I think makes a boring list, since that would make this contest WAY too easy. I will say that a top 10 of the Oscar Best Picture winners would be lame and take no effort, but it wouldn't be BORING. The top 10 box office hit movies also wouldn't necessarily be a boring list. A lot of movies from this decade that I hated with a passion also wouldn't be a boring list either! A list of movies in which not much happens, i.e. the films themselves are boring is not what I'm going for!

Basically what I'm saying is that this contest is asking you to make a top (x) movies of the decade (00-09) list that YOU THINK that I WILL THINK is the most boring. (x) can really be any number of movies, too. That's up to you. If your list is just 1 movie, and that movie is THE most boring choice you can make for the best movie of the decade, it might win. Also, don't make a list that is YOUR top movies of the decade, there's another thread for that! If you make a list of 100 movies, I will probably ignore it. I would shoot for 5, 10, 20, or 25. Those look like good numbers. You can enter as many times as you want, but if you enter like 20 times, I will probably get annoyed and disqualify you. MY CONTEST.

OH yeah, it's a contest. So the prize is. Well, you might have read in the picture thread that in the past I have made youtubes of myself, drunk, performing a famous movie monologue. Well your prize, if I choose your list, is that you can pick a monologue I will perform to the best of my (probably drunk) ability, before January 4th. It will most likely get done sometime between the 31st-3rd while I'm partying all weekend. SOME CAVEATS on this monologue: It needs to be a movie I've seen, while it might be funny to see me read lines way out of context, if I don't know what I'm doing, it will probably just sound like me reading the lines instead of performing. No porn. No nudity. Also kissinger will help me judge and can't enter obviously since this partly came about from us discussing boring top movie lists. He'll also most likely be the cameraman. Also the youtube will be "shot" on my shitty camera's video function unless someone at the party somehow has an actual camera. I will also probably try to have their adorable dog play any other characters in the "scene".

I also reserve the right to make up more rules as I go along. MY CONTEST

Post your lists in this thread.

CONTEST CHALLENGE: Make the most boring "top (x) movies of the decade" list possi

I don't think I am making sense. It's all a top/best movies of the decade list I'm looking for, the (x) is just the # of movies on the list. It's not like the top romance movies or top action movies. The lists are all "the best movies of the decade". But a boring list of those top movies.

I don't get the point of this. Every list of this sort is boring.

Do you mean something along the lines of this... ?

EXAMPLE
The Top 10 Merchandise films of 00's
1. Digimon the Movie (2000)
This mile a minute adaptation of the hit childrens TV show Digimon is a prime example of what childrens film should be! Most people would be familiar with Botomon but will be surprised with he changes not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES over the course of the first act. There have been some claims that the movie was essentially plotless and existed ONLY to move toys but this would be an unfortunate generalization. The voice actor for Rapidmon shows a wonderful way of showing emotion despite its limited collection of roaring noises or whatever the fuck it sounds like.

Yeah, I don't get this either. Are you looking for a list of boring movies, good movies but the list is boring or a list of movies we think YOU would think are boring?

Yeah, I realized right after posting that I can't really explain it in any coherent way, and after no one replied for a while, I tried to delete the thread (and can't). I will just do the A Few Good Men youtube people were talking about in some other thread and call it a day. I am terrible at posting.

Son, we live in a forum that has posts and those posts need to be guarded by mods with bans. Who's gonna do it? You? You, MindDetective? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Charlie Don't Surf and curse the Moderators; you have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Charlie Don't Surf's death, while tragic, probably saved threads and that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves threads. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about on ventrillo you want me on that post, you need me on that post. We use words like ban, edit, flame. We use them as the backbone of a life trying to defend something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who ROFLs and STFUs under the blanket of the very forum I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you," and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest that you pick up a keyboard and post a thread. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

C'mon. My list was pretty tame...

1. The Pledge - It was like watching paint dry.
2. Lost in Translation - The film made Scarlet Johansson dull in my eyes.

I think I get what Chuck's asking for.

It's like people who claim to be movie snobs, and then when you ask them what their favorite movie is, they say The Godfather.

The Godfather is a good movie, no doubt... but listing that as your favorite movie is really dull.

Yes, I get what he means, if he means what Ravenpoe thinks he means - assuming I get what Ravenpoe means CDS means. If you know what I mean.

Such a list is inherently boring if it's made right, because on it will be nothing but the obvious choices.

The Terminal. After watching this movie I felt like I had just spent six months sitting in an airport.

That's silly. If it's good, it's good. It really shouldn't make a bit of difference how commonly people say it's good.

CONTEST CHALLENGE: Make the most boring "top # movies of the decade" list possibl

Well, I don't know. On one hand, yeah it *IS* good. But it lacks a certain flavor or edge. I mean, everyone says that Shakespeare is fantastic. And he's exceptional. But it's kind of bland if you say what the standard measure of "good" is as your favorite.

Like, uh, if your favorite bands are Led Zeppelin and the Beatles. Yeah, most everybody loves them. What else do you like?

The Doors, but only through the LA Woman album. They went downhill after that...

I am so sick of people saying they like the Beatles.

Yes, but "what else" isn't what CDS is asking for. It's Zeppelin and the Beatles that he wants.

Wouldn't every post overlap pretty massively?

He could just read IMDB's top 20 and call it a day. You really can't get more obvious than that.

CONTEST CHALLENGE: Make the most boring "top # movies of the decade" list possibl

I know what he wants. I was responding to Fade directly about that. And yes, it would just be a pretty boring, easy list

CONTEST CHALLENGE: Make the most boring "top # movies of the decade" list possibl

Here, let's even take IMDB's top films and pick out the first 10 that are made since 1989.

Shawshank Redemption
Pulp Fiction
Schindler's List
The Dark Knight
LOTR: Return of the King
Goodfellas
City of God
Fight Club
LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring
Usual Suspects

City of God is really the only potentially non-obvious one. And if you throw that one out, then Silence of the Lambs is next. And if you combine LOTR, then the Matrix is next.
