  • That was my suggestion
  • The list covers people of all types. We try to use something that is more specific. I see this as too general.

    Please come up with a more specific list and I will do it!

  • Lawrence, on musicals, that's awfully broad. I might do a week of 1930s musicals, followed by 1940s, 1950s and 1960s.

    Mark, on WWII, I would prefer to do one week of the European ones followed by a week of the Pacific ones.

    Both great ideas, and thanks very much!

  • World War II- Europe----Face-Off just beginning! 

    Stop by EMP and cast your votes people!!!
  • Cast your votes now! Two classics up!

    Rio Bravo vs. The Searchers!!!

  • Cast your votes now! Two classics up!

    Rio Bravo vs. The Searchers!!!


    I have voted. A difficult choice but I had to vote for the one that is my favorite western of all time.
  • Not to take away from The Searchers, but I think Rio Bravo is a virtually perfect movie. I have shown it or recommend it to dozens of people over the years and I have not had one person not really like it!

  • Agreed, Rio Bravo with its music, characters, pacing, Hawks direction is near perfect. I may be in agreement with Lawrence as it's my favorite Western. Seen it around 2 dozen +...
  • So long EMP Face Off! Vote now!
  • That's different, putting the staff up for a community vote, does the one who gets the least votes get fired?
  • So few people were voting that I felt it had run its course.

    And no, no one gets fired! Angie and Phil are two incredible employees.

    I was going to do ME against either Angie or Phil, but I would have been crushed when I lost!

    It could still be like for like, such as:

    The Longest Day v's Saving Pvt Ryan.
    Angels One Five v's The Battle Of Britain
    Theirs Is The Glory v's A Bridge Too Far
    Dam Busters v's Memphis Bell
    The One That Got Away v's The Great Escape

    etc etc...
