How many points if a woman gets raped?

None. Women are afraid of getting raped everyday, that's why they don't go out alone at night. It's more unexpected when a guy gets it.

Oh yeah, I forgot Deliverance. (Never go to the backwoods in the South.)

Wait... what.... a man got raped in The Huslter?  I must have missed that scene I guess.  Another great flick BTW.  Oh and the sequel The Color of Money.  Maybe some future poll movies here.

Yup. It wasn't just the women that thought Paul Newman was good lookin.

9/10

It not be one of my favorite movies, but it is absolutely amazing and I really enjoy it.

A great movie, though I've always scratched my head as to why it always gets such HIGH praise.  I mean, it's a great story but King has done better (in both writing and movies based on his stories).  For instance, I think the movie Stand By Me is infinitely more re-watchable.

Feel free to PM me one movie for a future debate.  Be reasonable: I won't do films that only two of us have seen.

I guess (almost) no one saw this.  Or no one cares enough to bother

Just PMd you.  Shit I made a list, not just one.  Oh well.

This film gets a 10 from me; an all time great cinematic experience.

Having seen this film 30+ times over the years, and always feeling like cinematic 'comfort food', this one really encapsulates that perfect 'Sunday afternoon curled up with a blanket' movie-going experience for me.

Have you done any David Lynch films? Would love to see some of his stuff rated and I can start getting my 10's going haha.

I saw it but let's be real, the movies I'd suggest land in the "two of us have seen it" realm.

I remember it being great but also haven't watched in 2 decades.  I guess it's a 5 by definition.

Maybe one of my suggestions will get picked then even though I'm guessing @Gloves hasn't seen either one.
