The FINAL Hex ffh2 Poster Contest - Round 2!!!

hexagonian · Nov 16, 2007, 05:34 PM

Having a winner for Contest 1, we move onto Contest 2. Good luck.

CONTEST 2
Tell me which 5 movies are your all-time favorites. I have a list of 20 movies that are my favorites. For every match you get with mine, you get a lottery entry (up to 5 total), which will be drawn at the end of the contest deadline...

Double lotto entries if one of your favorites is number 7 on my list. (which means if you got 3 matches on your list and you get my lucky 7, you will get a total of 6 lotto entries)

Deadline TBD.

Interesting dilemmma...do you actually put your own favorites or try to align your list with mine, which means that you lie about your favorites???

How will I know if you are telling the truth????

The prize
A set of 4 miniposters comprising of 4 warriors from Erebus.

• Bannor Lady Knight
• Illian Warlord
• Ljosalfar Huntress
• Hyborem

mindlar · Nov 16, 2007, 05:49 PM

I don't really have a list of favorite movies, so I'm going to go with a crosscut of various ones I like and hope that you aren't a fan of the obscure.

Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (must have one of these)
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (this really is the best in the series)
The Fifth Element (I like it, my wife hates it... what isn't to love about this film)
Return of the King (again, need to have one in the list and who can't love the battles)
Goonies (and something to round out the list from the 80's)

Is this just an excuse to remind yourself of things that should be in your Netflix queue?

loki1232 · Nov 16, 2007, 06:05 PM

So my five:
The Bourne Identity, Shaun of the Dead, L'Auberge Espanol (The Spanish Apartment), Apocalypse Now, The Princess Bride.

The winner in Contest 1 emailed me declining the prize because he only gave one answer, and thought it was not fair to the other entrants. So he asked me to redraw the contest.

No problem...but I will ask that if any entrants do not want to win the prize, please do not bother to enter.

The new winner in Contest 1 has been posted in that thread.

Carry on.

Brazil's possibly not really that high, but it is great, and could conceivably be the elusive number 7! (BTW, if that turns out to be Se7en or Lucky Number Slevin or something, I'll lose all respect for you :P Of course, if it's Seven Brides for Seven Brothers I'll be forced to salute your honesty about it

)
