Van Basten II Posted June 29, 2009 Author Report Posted June 29, 2009 You're missing the point, yes it is silly but it is fun, you gotta laugh at a machine who asks you what do you prefer between Mondern Times and Ghostbusters II Quote

All great movies, though I've never seen Ed Wood. Quote
Van Basten II Posted July 2, 2009 Author Report Posted July 2, 2009 Still having fun, also the algorythm seems to be limite so the results have to be taken with a grain of salt. Do you know a lot of people or site who would ask you if you prefer Casablanca to Pokemon. By the way my top 20 now is... 1.Pulp Fiction 2.The Third Man 3.The Player 4.Modern Times 5.Metropolis 6.Annie Hall 7.Dog Day Afternoon 8.Ed Wood 9.Vertigo 10.North by Northwest 11.All About Eve 12.Short Cuts 13.Amarcord 14.The King of Comedy 15.Brazil 16.Boogie Nights 17.GoodFellas 18.The Age of Innocence 19.Amadeus 20.Traffic It does not make for good rankings but it does makes a credible list. If you wonder who's participating to this kind of site, let's just say that the top movie right now is the Dark Night Quote

Van Basten II Posted July 2, 2009 Author Report Posted July 2, 2009 To the best of my knowledge that's all you need to do, i'll state the obvious but have you checked your email junk file. Only problem i had to get in was to find a name that they would accept. Quote
Van Basten II Posted July 2, 2009 Author Report Posted July 2, 2009 Trying to register myself again, using another email, will tell you how it works. Quote
BruceH Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 I don't want to register at yet another site. Quote

The same thing happened to me. I provided my email on 6/29 and still haven't heard a peep. Nothing in my junk email folder either. Maybe I'll try it again. Edit - My predictions for a top 10 or many that will be among my top 10: The Godfather The Godfather II Amadeus Apocalypse Now The Shawshank Redemption Goodfellas Some Like It Hot Gladiator Spirited Away The Bourne Trilogy (Identity, Supremacy, Ultimatum) Edited July 2, 2009 by mikelz777 Quote
Van Basten II Posted July 3, 2009 Author Report Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) Kinda weird never received anything either, i know it's still the beta version, the official will start in september, maybe they have reached their quota for the beta period. Edited July 3, 2009 by Van Basten II Quote
Jazzmoose Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 Sounds like fun, but I can't get it to work either. As far as registering at another site, Bruce, you can always register as elmer fudd at elmerfuddxxxx@hotmail.com, substituting whatever phony character and numbers you want. I always do this with sites I figure I won't be using on an ongoing basis. Quote

Jazzmoose Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 Yes, but unless they use twacking wabbits, you'd be safe. Quote
Van Basten II Posted July 14, 2009 Author Report Posted July 14, 2009 For those who were waiting to receive a confirmation to join in. It took time but i received mine a few days ago, maybe it's the same case for those who had not yet received an answer. Quote
GA Russell Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 I received my confirmation today. But when I tried to play the game, it was way too slow. Quote
mikelz777 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) Got it to work. So far my top 10 (according to their pairing choices of course) are: 1. Amadeus 2. Boogie Nights 3. The Deer Hunter 4. A History Of Violence 5. The Passion Of The Christ 6. Star Trek (2009) 7. The Italian Job 8. Momento 9. Pulp Fiction 10. Napoleon Dynamite The next 10: 11. 3:10 To Yuma (What the...?) 12. The Green Mile 13. The Ring 14. Apocalypse Now 15. Road To Perdition 16. Ray 17. Billy Eliot 18. Spiderman 19. Little Miss Sunshine 20. Collateral Interesting. There are a lot of picks there that never would have made my top 20. Edited July 14, 2009 by mikelz777 Quote
BruceH Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 Mine: The Third Man Children of Paradise The Maltese Falcon His Girl Friday Trouble In Paradise Bob le Flambeur Grand Illusion The Lady Eve Rules of the Game My Man Godfrey 2nd top ten: Touchez Pas au Grisbi Singin' In the Rain Top Hat The Seven Samurai Ikiru Army of Shadows The Thin Man Holiday Notorious The Lady Vanishes Strange...I would have thought that "Sherlock, Jr." or "Out of the Past," or "Chinatown" would have made it. Quite amazing, really. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 Sounds like Elmer Fudd got through; still no "confirmation" for me... Quote
BruceH Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 Actually, I used the "website" in my brain. Much faster. Quote
