A sad state of affairs when The Blue Max doesn´t even make the top three. What is one to do? |
Tgunner | 22 Aug 2018 4:47 p.m. PST |
I guess people don't like George Peppard. |
Winston Smith | 22 Aug 2018 5:55 p.m. PST |
Maybe the other 3 are just far superior? |

Well, my favorite movie is Lawrence of Arabia. The American Film Institute ranks it as the number seven movie all time. |

Lawrence of Arabia,Given the choices.But the BlueMax would be my favorite. |

The Lighthorsemen was also great, but not on the list. |
Old Wolfman | 23 Aug 2018 6:50 a.m. PST |
The Dawn Patrol and Howard Hughes' Hell's Angels are among my faves for air action,The Fighting 69th is another. |

Texas Jack, +100. That movie changed my LIFE. EVERYTHING. Best WW1 Movie ever made. Period. I don't care that all these other people are just dead wrong. |

Let this be a lesson. 1. Always nominate your favorites in the Poll Suggestions thread. 2. Always vote in preliminary rounds. Some of the above didn't make it out if the first round. 3. Vote early. Vote often. The OFM doesn't usually vote if I have already. But if it's IMPORTANT! . (If it's not forbidden, it's compulsory.) |

A sham if Blue Max ism on the list. Paths of Glory is my favorite |

Here is the pre Poll Suggestion thread. TMP link The first poll covered A-D. TMP link It's too much work to track down the other Round 1 polls. As I said above, you have to nominate your favorites, and then vote in all the rounds leading up to the final poll. It always annoys me when someone wants to slide his favorite into a poll "to be fixed in a later round" when he never bothered to nominate. All your late Suggestions were there, were voted on and didn't get enough votes. Sorry. (No. Not really. ) |
Winston Smith | 23 Aug 2018 2:21 p.m. PST |
I might add that the top three I agree on completely. |

As often happens, the poll title asks one thing ("best")and the poll description asks another (your favorite). These can be very different things. Anyway, I voted for Blue Max too. Don't know about it being "the best", but definitely my favorite. I can definitely remember seeing it at the drive-in when I was 6. It was the "filler" part of a double-feature with Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, but for me it stole the show! Been in love with the planes and the movie ever since. Liked all of the top three vote-getters also, BTW, just not as much as BM. :-p |
