    Waiting to vote on this one because I do plan on seeing Amadeus soon. By the way, I'm assuming this is the theatrical cut and not the longer director's cut?

    The version is not really specified in these tournaments, same with Blade Runner or The Abyss. Feel free to vote for whichever you see, if it deserves your vote.

    Directors cut is better. It restores one of the best titty scenes ever, which is actually a pretty key scene in terms of character.

    to be fair to the spirit of the tournament, I would say a Director's cut/extendend cut/whatever should only be considered if it was released in the same decade. Just my opinion.

    Sigh, of course Amadeus, my second favourite film of all time, is behind Good fucking Morning, Vietnam. I like all 4 of these films quite a lot, but none of them are even close to Amadeus, which is an absolute masterpiece.

    Evil Dead II is about as much fun as you could ever have at a horror movie.

    Finally saw Amadeus and could slap myself for not seeing it sooner. Unfortunately, now the three way tie is a two way tie.

    That's a disappointment. I should not have voted for it last round, oh well.
