Wow a great bracket here, think it is the first time I voted for 4 movies in one bracket.

Yes, there's been many brackets where I only voted for 1 and even one where I didn't vote at all, but there's quite a few that I want to vote for here.

I think I've been voting about 4 or 5 per bracket. But having seen 80% of the films, I'd say those numbers line up. I don't think I've voted for two or less yet...

I'm somewhat surprised. There are some popular films in this bracket, but I thought it would have done better.

Magnolia getting beaten out by Air Force One? Talk about unjustly getting off someone's plane.

I'm quite surprised as well. I thought there were a bunch of Paul Thomas Anderson fans here.

Well, it's a good thing I didn't nominate Hard Eight.
