Our Acronym is Better Than Theirs – Picking the LAMB’s Top 10 Action/Adventures

by Dylan · July 24, 2008 · Uncategorized · 25 Comments

(If you came here from the email about the horror list, my apologies for linking incorrectly. Go here for that list.)

The results are in, and the LAMB has picked its Top 10 Action/Adventures (for background on this, click here). There were a total of 30 voters, with their votes spread out amongst 147 films.

It’s no shock, then, that a number of films that earned even one or two first-place votes were left out of the Top 10, though the top two vote-getters destroyed the rest of the field. Anyway, I’m sure you’ve stopped reading by now and are checking out the selections below, so I’ll just shut up now.

Here are your winners (1st place votes in parentheses):

10. The Empire Strikes Back – 30 points from 5 voters (0)

9. Seven Samurai – 31 points from 4 voters (2)

8. Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King – 32 points from 4 voters (2)

7. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade – 35 points from 7 voters (1)

6. Kill Bill: Volume 1 – 40 points from 8 voters (0)

5. The Matrix – 45 points from 7 voters (1)

4. Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring – 54 points from 8 votes (1)

3. Star Wars – 58 points from 9 votes (0)

2. Die Hard – 107 points from 18 votes (3)

1. Raiders of the Lost Ark – 152 points from 19 votes (9)

So…how many did you vote for? If you’d like to see yours and all the other votes, scroll down. I’ve added a post with all of them, but dated it prior to this post so it won’t clutter the page.

Others receiving 1st-place votes: Gladiator, Goldfiner, Kung-Fu Hustle, Lawrence of Arabia, Leon: The Professional, Return of the Jedi, Shoot ’em Up, Sin City, The Adventures of Robin Hood, The French Connection, and The Warriors.

Next up? Horror flicks. The poll is already up, and will be for two weeks – be sure to read the instructions. Please DO NOT enter “Saw Quadrilogy” or “Friday the 13th series” or any other series of films as one entry. Entries such as these will be treated as a vote towards the first film in the series. Sorry, but I can’t have separate votes and grouped votes at the same time. Thanks.
