[QUOTE="Nightwing, post: 156853, member: 976"] [B][I]Note: I didn't setup the original poll properly - so this one should be fixed. If you voted previously - please do so again,up to three choices.[/I][/B] I've wanted to post a pinball poll on here for some time - but I wanted to have a bit of fun with it. So as I was looking at the Top 300 list at Pinside - this idea popped into my head. So, my choices for this poll were any film that didn't make back it's budget here in the US. Using that criteria - I came up with ten box office bombs as your picks. Notable omissions from this list are: [B]Stargate[/B]- While the film didn't do extremely well at the box office,it did better than what the critics said it would make. It was later turned into a successful tv series - not to mention that we probably don't have the films Independence Day,The Day After Tomorrow, & 2012 if the film had tanked.(Not to mention another flick on this list - but I'll get to that) For the record - I like the pin & I hope it makes it into TPA someday. [B]Congo[/B]- Box office take was a huge let down from Jurassic Park, (both films based on novels by Michael Crichton) but still made enough cash to qualify it as a success. [B]Godzilla[/B]- Yes,the movie was awful. After all was said and done - IMO,the best parts of Godzilla were the awesome teaser trailer with the for crashing into the museum,and the fact that Armageddon makes fun of it in the opening segment of that film. Yet,for all it's cheesiness - it did make some money & a pretty decent animated series based on the film. Because it's my poll - I'm adding Krull,because of the extreme rarity of the pinball table,that really cool looking glave,and the fact that the movie bombed badly. So that makes eleven total. You can vote up to three times if you'd like - and discuss why you voted the way you did. I'll post my picks later. [/QUOTE]
