Drama/War Preliminary Poll!! Vote "9" Films Only!! - Blu-ray Forum

CZAR · 02-02-2010, 05:29 PM

Ok here is the Drama/War/Crime preliminary poll! I am gonna choose the top "9" from this genre as it is a very deep genre combined and just like the real match madness certain conferences gets more teams in then others based on strength! So instead of voting for "7" movies make sure u vote for "9" as the top "9" vote getters will advance to fill out the tournament bracket!!

Choose the top "9" movies as only "9" will advance. I am gonna have this poll opened for a few days and I will continue to make all of the polls over the next few days so the voting can take place. Remember vote for the "9" u want to see make the tourney. Base it on how u feel. Remember its not best or fav poll, its overall and all up to u! Also remember only actual votes will count so dont just list your picks without voting or your votes wont count!

Also remember that its hard to list every movie in the genre as it would be to long so I am listing based on website hype or recent polls that Ive seen. Remember only top "9" advance anyway so if a movie u recognize isnt on the list then just pick the "9" from what is listed. There are a lot of categories and certain movies can fall under a diff category. Have fun guys! Let keep it goin......Got Em!!
