they're probably the movies i've watched the most in the list.. and the rest seem crap

i don't mind watching a crap movie because people have actually voted it the most popular and want to watch it, but what's the point in having some crap movie if people don't even want to watch it.

I stick by my decision, every weeks film should be voted for, not random generated.

I'm pretty sure nobody is going to enjoy all 52 of the films regardless of which method is used to select them. Clearly people do want to watch it since somebody had to have voted for it for the film to have ended up on the shortlist in order for it to get randomly selected. If we did the 52 most popular then we'd get a generic list which would likely exclude multiple genres. If a majority of people are unhappy with the final list once they've all been selected then obviously i'd be up for changing it. But I think the variance in genre added to the list from the randomly selected films is better than having the 52 most popular. What's the point of everybody watching mostly films they've already seen in this challenge? Seems pointless.

unless every single person on habbox likes the same genre then I doubt it.

The most popular 52 is going to vary completely. If you allowed us to vote for 52 options then I could see the point of them all being generic ones most people have seen before, but it's not allowing you to vote 52 so there's going to be all sorts of different titles in the final list.

That's down to users voting what they want to see rather than what they've already seen 10x.

akeam has done a fair method
only one of mine (actually idk if i recc'd battle royale) got into the final and that was cause it was randomly selected, none of my other ones will be, even if they are good cause no one will bother to look up ones they haven't seen. randomly selecting means people get a chance to watch a film they might never have bothered to watch.
if u don't want to watch a particular film then watch another one that week, end of

- - - Updated - - -

so wait what are u doing with the 52 then akeam, taking the top 26 voted out of our 4 votes?

is @Red; threatening anyone else because of what they voted/because they didn't vote Mickey boo or whatever :(

just saying 12 angry men is an amazing film and i love it!!

stick with random generated, the entire point of this for me is that i want to be given a film to watch that i wouldn't ever have sat down and watched myself, not gonna happen if we vote on all 52

Unless there are anymore votes between now and midnight, 24 films will be added to the final list from the voting thread and 17 films will have to be shortened down to 2 in another vote.
@Empired; The Double is the one you added to the shortlist in this thread so it's whichever one you meant (I assume 2013 from what you've wrote)

Oh yeah I forgot i was the one that suggested it :$ and yes I meant the 2013 one oops

will the first film be up tonight @The Don; or did i miss it being posted already

Will be posted as soon as the 52 films are selected. Most likely midnight tomorrow (we'll just have 5 days for the first week OR last week instead of 7).

so are you watching it together on a streaming sync service or individually?
