:clap:

It mowed through it's competition in the group stages, and it had a dazzling performance in the knock-out stages, hinting at how powerful and grasping this movie truly is.

I want to thank everyone who voted in the competition, and I have to say that I'm coming away with this tournament hosting experience with virtually nothing but positive things. I have a few more ideas running around in my head for those who think they'll suffer from voting withdrawal , and I hope to have you guys voting in those tournaments as well if I ever get them off the ground.

Once again, thank you for everyone that made this such an awesome and rewarding experience! You guys are the best! :D

Feev - Personally, I want to thank YOU for all you did in running the BMOAT threads and polls and all that!

It was great fun and there's no way it would have been that way without your hard work and dedication.

THANK YOU, FEEV!

cool
that is certainly a contender, what I consider the best movie of all time has a rule that I cant talk about it...
any idea what 2nd n 3rd place were?

Well, it's just a good, sound, if somewhat mediocre, movie that didn't bring about much controversy or disagreement... that's why it is the winner. It's like "The Best of" some musician: you never find your favorites there, but what is included is guaranteed to satisfy everybody to an extent, and not to produce astonishment, shock, or bad feelings.

Gr gr gr

On the bright site, I second what Pam said about feverish! Great job, very well done!

I guess second would have to be Empire, since it was in the final against Shawshank.

Thanks everyone :blush:

Seriously, this was really cool. Thanks for putting it together sugar pop.

I actually consider this movie in my top 5 for sure. Wonderful!

Thanks for all your hard work with this Feev. It was alot of fun.
I can't wait to see what's up next.

Yes I too think you did a great thing with this competition. Thanks!
I am amazed it won over PULP FICTION tho' :lol:

And I'm sad it won over Empire.:cry:

I'm not surpriesed though. Shawshank IS a great movie, and this IS a Stephen King fan site.

touche' Sam, and Sai Kings stories are by far IMO the very best of all.:clap:

I'll stick with what I've been saying all along... Feev is the man. Great job seeing this through to the end. :clap:

:clap: Well done.

We should do a Worst Movie of all Time Tournament! :cowboy:

I LOVE Shawshank Redemption. Incredible movie.

As much as I absolutely LOVE the shawshank redemption, and always seem to watch it whenever and wherever it comes on I have to say (including literary concerns) that the LOTR was the best!!!!!


Kill Me!!!! lol lol:excited::excited::shoot:

u did great feev. i know u can't make everyone happy bc that's just impossible. but i believe most will be happy with this choice, because it was a great film

I thought Pulp Fiction only won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay which Shawshank wouldn't be eligible for anyway as it's an adaptation. I agree that it is better than Gump and that movie took all the awards that year. Oh well.

I got to defend Gump some day.

Good job, Feev! Good job voters!

Unlikely winner perhaps, but a great film nevertheless. I find it hard not to shed a tear each time I see the beach scene. Ah...

i think its funny how a king adaption wins bmoat. kinda fits in well on a site like this

feev you did an amazing job with all of this.
keeping track of it all, posting all the voting, tallying everything up, not letting anything fall through the cracks.
thank for taking the time and energy to do this for us. it was fun and i hope you think up something else soon.

My Ukrainian friend was very blase about this film. Then again, he's not a Stephen King fan.

If I had to rate this I'd say Shawshenk was the fourth or fifth best Stephen King cinematic adaptation, after The Body (Stand by Me), The Shining, Cat's Eye, and Misery.
