[Game] Top 12 Sam Raimi Movies

Postby Kyle » Wed Aug 30, 2017 2:17 pm

Here's the rules:

1- Post up the title of a movie directed by that you think was in the top 12 of his movies (as enjoyed by Kyle).

2- After you make a post- you can only guess again AFTER I HAVE TOLD YOU IF YOU ARE RIGHT AND HAVE AWARDED POINTS. Thus, if you make a guess- please don't guess again until I've acknowledged your guess.

3- Cheating is encouraged. Go to Sam Raimi's imdb page and figure out what movies he's directed. Search the boards for my posts discussing his movies, or my favorite movies of all time. Feel free to PM me and ask me for answers. I'll give you some help.

4- Points are awarded only for the top 12 movies, in reverse order of their place on the list. Thus, 1 point for the 12th movie. 12 points for the top movie. The listing is determined by a weight subjectively determined by me and related to my personal enjoyment of the movies. Please understand that there are three movies that imdb says he directed that I've never seen. If you guess one of those, then you get zero points. If you think the list contains an error--that's too bad.

I will try to periodically update this first post with all the guesses, points awarded and standings.

MOVIES:
1- Evil Dead 2
2- Spider-Man 2
3- Spider-Man
4- Drag Me to Hell
5- The Quick and the Dead
6- The Gift
7- A Simple Plan
8- Oz the Great and Powerful
9- Army of Darkness
10- Darkman
11- The Evil Dead
12- Spider-Man 3

RESULTS:
poorpete: 22
Zombie: 22
Mike: 21
Zen: 13
Stan: 0
Eliahad: 0

Well, he's only got 15 directing credits that are not TV or short films, so...

Evil Dead II (1987)

I think I can guess his top 4, but not the order. I'll wait patiently for revelations.

Those three plus Darkman were my guesses for your Top 4. I was wrong. But...

Darkman.

You're allowed to cheat.

Sam Raimi has 15 movie directing credits. Five of them have been named already. Go look at the other 10 and pick one. You've got a 70% chance of a hit even if you just pick randomly with no critical thought.
