I'm learning a lot from this tournament. I thought Out of Sight was way more popular than it seems to be.

I watched the trailer for Out of Sight to see if I could remember it (the answer is not really) and saw where it said from the people that brought you Get Shorty. I totally forgot about Get Shorty. That should have at least been nominated.

Out of Sight needs more votes!maybe I should have postponed voting before I see it, but I don't know if I'll be able to any time soon.

Clooney, Lopez, Soderbergh! What's not to like?

It's certainly better than The Negotiator which is pretty average to me and it's tied with that.

But I have already missed some http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bear_sad.gif (http://s91.photobucket.com/user/mishemplushem/media/Facilitation/bear_sad.gif.html)

They're both my nominates. I love The Negotiator. It was Paul Giamatti's breakout, and, i believe, Jackson's first starring role.

Interesting, we have a three-way tie for sixth with Out of Sight, The Negotiator, and Billy Madison.
