I think Ed Wood is a brilliant film, I don't understand why it's not better appreciated.

You know me so well. Just signed on and votes for it. :D And now I really want to go back and watch it because it's been too long.

[mae]

Looks like it's the end of the road here for old Ed :cry:

[Still Servant]

That's a shame. I'm not an Austin Powers guys like many people.

[mae]

Yeah I like it and it's funny, but I'd put it way below any of these in this bracket.

[Jean]

Yes Becca's been voting for some great films this tournament :) I do wish we had more women here voting to even things out a bit.

Hopefully with the way things are changing in Hollywood, we start seeing more women that have a more diverse passion for film.

[Heather19]

Oh, I think there's tons of females that are fans of film. I just meant here on the board it's all men :lol: I think there's only been about 3 of us that have regularly been voting, out of 20 something.

Fans of film, yes, but fans of different kinds of films? I'm not so sure about that.

You have pretty diverse taste in film. You watch old stuff, new stuff and a bunch of different genres. From my circle of friends and family, the women pretty much only watch romantic comedies and the like. That could just be the people around me.
