		<description>When?  I saw it suggested twice, never saw it shot down.  Note that I don&#039;t really care, one way or the other, as I&#039;ve never heard of it.</description>

		<description>To be fair, neither he nor I discussed its merits -- except that we both seem to agree Gregory Peck&#039;s great in it.

Howl&#039;s Moving Castle went out a long time ago, though, Candlejack.  Hey, don&#039;t shoot the messenger!</description>

And kiss of the spider-woman was such an overrated flick. No spiders *or* women worth a damn in the whole thing.</description>

		<description>Well, we&#039;ve learned something important here.  And that is that even if a single movie exists that everybody can agree on, there&#039;s no way we&#039;d want to sit down and watch that movie with everybody else on the Internet.  

Veto the Accidental Tourist, the Bad Lieutenant – Port of Call, New Orleans, Beverly Hills Cop, Bill &amp; Ted’s Excellent Adventure, Blast of Silence (1961), Coming To America, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Cool Runnings, the Friends of Eddie Coyle, Kiss of the Spider Woman, the Limey, Little Big Man, the Lonely Guy (1984), Once Upon A Time In America, Only the Lonely, Pleasantville, Punch-Drunk Love, Rashomon, Richard III (1995), Roxanne (1987), Smoke (1995), Tin Men, 24 Hour Party People, Wall Street (1987), World’s Greatest Dad (2009)

		<description>Much as I hate the fact that Tijem got rid of almost every movie worth watching on the list, I  cannot in good conscience veto everything he added.  Still, there are a mass of films here that certainly aren&#039;t on my watch any time list. Most of the rest are films I haven&#039;t seen and won&#039;t veto on principle, but there are some good ones in there that deserve to be on the list. 

Veto:
Batman (1989)
Batman Returns (1992)
Beetlejuice
Blade II
Bob Roberts
Boogie Nights
Boyz N The Hood
Braindead / Dead Alive (1992)
Dogville
eXistenZ
Falling Down
A Fish Called Wanda
48 Hrs.
Ginger Snaps
Glengarry Glen Ross
the Graduate (1967)
House Party (1990)
Hustle &amp; Flow
JFK
King of New York (1990)
Meet The Feebles
Naked Lunch
Out of Sight
the Piano (1993)
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
the Shadow (1994)
Soylent Green
Straw Dogs (1971)
the Three Musketeers (1993)
Tootsie
the Truman Show
Wayne’s World
Weekend At Bernie’s
White Men Can’t Jump</description>

		<description>@Tijmen - yeah, I was playing nice with others and discussing the whole idea and you turn up late and drive a truck through it and I&#039;m the troll.  Sure.

And dissing other people&#039;s choices?  That&#039;s not trollish at all.  

But you&#039;ve answered the central question of the debate for me, at least.  No, there can&#039;t be a consensus because there will always be some jerk come along and trash anything that he doesn&#039;t fit his narrow views.

I&#039;m outa here.

P.S. Twelve Monkeys was obvious and boring to me.  But lots of people like it so I&#039;m not going to be a jerk and insist it&#039;s a bad movie.</description>

		<description>I never thought I&#039;d see the day where The Big Crime Wave, Kitchen Party, Top of the Food Chain, and waydowntown were considered too mainstream for anybody.  Indie Canadian cinema has made it big!  Too bad it lacks any shred of imagination or taste; guess that&#039;s what happens when it becomes a bloated corporate machine.

Veto:
Batman (1989)
Blade II
eXistenZ
Goldeneye 
LA Story
The Mask (1994)
Red Rock West
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
Steamboy
Training Day

Add:
The God of Gamblers 2
Fong Sei Yuk
Gosford Park
Ghost World
Fast, Cheap, &amp; Out of Control
Gates of Heaven
Hard Core Logo
Full Contact
Le Dernier Combat</description>

		<description>Also: my vetoing is proportionate to my adding - the same can&#039;t be said for you, who threw out perfectly awesome flicks like &#039;the Fly&#039; &amp; &#039;12 Monkeys&#039; in favor of such thrilling fare as &#039;Heathers&#039; &amp; &#039;Bride &amp; Prejudice&#039;.

Way to go in establishing *Geek Consesus*, puppet person! You&#039;re just upset your mainstream movie wankfest got interrupted by someone with an actual shred of imagination &amp; taste.</description>

		<description>Actually, no, I did not veto the entire list. I carefully went through it and removed only selectively. But hey, if you don&#039;t want to follow that example, be my guest...troll.</description>
