Quote from: Perspective on January 09, 2009, 03:22:22 PMHow are movies identified? we shouldn't allow people to pick the "extended edition" or "digitally remastered version" of a movie that's already been picked. And what about remakes (like Oceans 11)? Do they count as separate movies or the same?If you have time you can look at the rules in the first post for more details. Once one edition of a movie is picked, the others cannot be picked. Remakes are separate movies. (Edit: Re-releases are not.)Quote from: KnuckleBuckett on January 09, 2009, 03:29:03 PMDo we have a category for each selection cycle or are these all random movies?No categories. Just try to build the list you'd like on your island. If you only like kung fu, feel free to take 16 kung fu movies. If you have a more eclectic mix, then change it up.I'd suggest considering taking more popular movies (or movies you'd expect to be popular with this crowd) earlier, since once somebody else takes a movie you cannot have it. You can decide to pick movies based solely on what you like, or you can try to build a list that others would like and would do well in the competition. It's all up to you.

Nice. I took Shawshank for the same reason. I knew there was no way it came back to me . . . and it's a must-have.

I don't know... I think it has a lot of things that make a good movie: Injustice, deceit, shame, suicide, redemption, good will, etc.
