TGME Round 1: Shaun of the Dead Vs. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

[Courtney]

Slay Anything

[Steve-O]

Let us not forget Spleenless in Seattle, Rotting Hill, You've Got Entrail, How to Chew a Guy in 10 Days, While You Were Shambling, and Four Bloody Eviscerations and a Funeral.

[GregMcduck]

The Crypt Keeper would be proud.

Let us not forget Spleenless in Seattle, Rotting Hill, You've Got Entrail, How to Chew a Guy in 10 Days, While You Were Shambling, and Four Bloody Eviscerations and a Funeral.

All classics, but lets not forget the most vomit-inducing of them all:  Love Story.

I think Cuckoo is a better movie, but I enjoyed Shaun more.

[ScottotD]

so which did you vote for?

[Pyroman]

Goin' with Shaun for this one. I never really enjoyed 'british' humor but this movie had me rolling. Great stuff.

[Raven]

I really like both, but OFOTCN is still fun no matter how many times I see it and it's older than I am.  I've only watched Shaun a couple of times but it's already starting to get a little old for me.  OFOTCN for me.

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Gotta pick Cuckoo's Nest.  Shaun of the Dead is brilliant but it really falls apart in the last half hour or so.  Cuckoo's Nest is a wonderful piece of filmmaking through and through.  Granted, it's not as much FUN.

[CM916]

This is the first vote I have had some real trouble in deciding. I loved Cuckoo but I hold Shaun up high as the first innovative romantic comedy in a decade. Many people don't even realise Shaun is a standard formula romantic comedy: here's a couple, they break up, they are miserable, they get back together, the end. The fact that everyone they ever knew dies in a Zombie invasion is just the catalyst.

I'm leaning towards Shaun right now for its innovativeness. Try and persuade me, oh great stuck up, so called movie experts.

[CM916]

Well, I voted Shaun thinking it was probably losing. I recommend we work on making this another tie.

[Sideswipe]

why was Shaun of the Dead  put on the list?  it was ok, but certainly not on the list of the best ever.

[CM916]

I loved it but I really wish Cuckoo could move on as well.

If you get enough petitions signed maybe Greg will put Transformers in the running for you.
