Enter the "My Greatest Movie Of All-Time" Gazz Oscar Contest

AT LAST, someone who actually knows something about movies will help out with our Oscar stories for the gazz -- you. In the March 2 gazz, we mark the Oscar ceremonies (to be broadcast Sunday, March 5) with the "My Greatest Movie Of All-Time" Gazz Oscar Contest." Delve into the dark theaters of your mind for that one movie you think represents everything good and wonderful in film. Your selections don't need to be technically or culturally significant. They don't even have to be good as long as you can back them up. In a couple sentences, sum up the movie's meaning to you and why it's all that great. All non-porn movies qualify. Provide one line that best captures the movie's flavor. This being a contest, there are prizes. And deadlines. Pay close attention to these details or risk your entry being tossed like the screenplay for "Snow Dogs III." DEADLINE:: Describe in a couple sentences your "Greatest Movie Ever." Submit no later than noon, Monday, Feb. 27, or you'll just have to live with the movies your friends and neighbors love, no matter how insufferable.or less no later than noon, Monday, Feb. 27, or you'll just have to live with the movies your friends and neighbors love, no matter how insufferable.

PRIZES: Our ten favorite responses plus the author's name will appear in the March 2 edition of the gazz.

Actually, "get cracking" comes from gazz oscar contest guy Morgan Kelly, who wrote the contest copy. He is channeling the British sahib he used to be in his last life. Let go, Morgan, let go.
