VOTE OFF: Best Movie Role

[CadensDad]

OK, I stole this from the CAFE HOME General Talk board, but noone has finished this off so I figured we could do it. All the work on this belongs to Tiki1311. But lets have some fun.

Vote Off: Best/Coolest Movie Role
by Tiki1311 on Thu May 29, 2008 2:04 pm

Rules (copied from a previous Tavish vote off post)

For those who have never taken part in a Vote-Off here is quick rundown of the rules:

1. Each vote is a +1/-1. You must add one (and only one) to an option and take one (and only one) away from a different option. No other combination is allowed.
2. You must wait for 5 other votes before you can vote again.
3. When an option reaches zero votes remaining it is removed from the list as a knockout.
4. When an option reaches 65% of the total votes it is removed from the list as a runaway.
5. Voting continues until all options have been removed as either a runaway or a knockout.
6. Don't complain about the available options, I try and pick a wide group usually with a few lamers that gets the game going.


Vote-Off : Best/Coolest Movie Role

This list includes some of my personal favorite movie roles of all time – not including straight up comedies. The roles were either cool, tough, intense, or a mix of all three. Lets see which one you all like the best. The list was created over lunch, so I'm sure that I've had some serious oversights and missed a few classic performances. Feel free to mention any of your personal faves not listed when voting.

20 options so 65 is the first runaway winner.

Brad Pitt – Fight Club 5
