 BATTLE: Best BP nominee since 1995: FINALE on PAGE 15! Vote!
Well, here's me copying Arch's format  The thing's simple, I just have the BP nominees of the last 15 years face off each other until there's a winner AND LOTR movies are excluded from the competition. Face it, guys, they would have ruled anyway, so the LOTR fans should be happy with that admission ROUND 1Quiz Show vs. The English Patient Forrest Gump vs. Elizabeth Pulp Fiction vs. Jerry Maguire The Shawshank Redemption vs. The Hours Four Weddings and a Funeral vs. Master & Commander: The Far Side of the World Sense and Sensibility vs. Secrets and Lies Apollo 13 vs. As Good as It Gets Il Postino vs. Saving Private Ryan Babe vs. Titanic Braveheart vs. Good Will Hunting Shine vs. Capote Mystic River vs. Gosford Park Traffic vs. The Green Mile The Insider vs. L.A. Confidential The Departed vs. Ray In the Bedroom vs. Fargo Letters from Iwo Jima vs. Shakespeare in Love Chocolat vs. The Sixth Sense Good Night, and Good Luck vs. The Aviator The Thin Red Line vs. American Beauty The Full Monty vs. Finding Neverland Crash vs. Erin Brockovich Munich vs. Chicago Moulin Rouge vs. Babel Little Miss Sunshine vs. Lost in Translation The Queen vs. The Pianist Brokeback Mountain vs. Gangs of New York Gladiator vs. Cider House Rules A Beautiful Mind vs. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Life is Beautiful vs. Million Dollar Baby Seabiscuit vs. Sideways _____________________________________________________________________ Let the voting begin!

 Re: BATTLE: Best BP nominee since 1995
I was merely wondering what gas leak was causing everyone to vote for Letters From Iwo Jima over Shakespeare in Love. My god.

I haven't seen Letters and I believe I will probably like it much more than Shakespeare. But because I cannot judge something I haven't seen, my vote goes to Shakespeare.
