No, I was just razzin' ya, Criddic. You bring them up like you have a rolodeck in front of you. Keep it up. You're great. Seriously. God bless. Use a condom. Good night.

GoodFellas and Godfather 3 are both pretty good. The others aren't. The Coppola has a lot more subtext than the ridiculously overrated Scorsese (this ain't no masterpiece) so I voted Godfather 3 (which is so much better than the absurdly over-praised Godfather 2 -- which somehow became a Paulette wet dream).

I hope my award mentions and comparisons aren't bothering you Sabin. I do them for fun and I like sharing them with movie-minded people. It is a slightly kooky thing I do I suppose, but it makes movie-watching more enjoyable.

You don't #### around with these Criddic Awards, do you? I seriously feel like I see them on every other thread.

'Goodfellas' and radio silence for the runner up. Either that or a composite of the best of Coppola's compromised third outing with some of the emotional heft from 'Awakenings'.

Awakenings was a lovely film, with powerful performances by Robin Williams and Robert De Niro.

Criddic Awards:

GoodFellas won director for Martin Scorsese and editing.

Dances With Wolves won score and cinematography.

Some good films here, but not a great year for movies.

I actually marginally prefer Wolves over GoodFellas. Costner's blank lead aside, it's a very affecting, lyrical movie. Ghost is good fun too.

How lame am I? My top two choices here are The Godfather Part III and Awakenings. My vote was for The Godfather Part III.

GoodFellas, although I like Godfather III more than others, Ghost is fine and Dances with Wolves is fine. Haven't seen Awakenings.
