Only one vote from me here and that's for Jacob's Ladder. Really hope it fares better in this round.

Crap. Two of my personal favorites (The Talented Mr. Ripley and Glengarry Glen Ross) are in this bracket and they are both going to be in the bottom.

I love Ripley, so I'm going to have to put my vote there. If you haven't seen it, please check it out.

Not the very bottom but yeah. No idea how Con Air gets more votes than any of the bottom three choices. And I love Nic Cage.

Can we please get another couple of votes so Jacob's Ladder isn't knocked out... :)

It's all taste and we all differ there, but it still would amaze me if both JL and GGR both dropped (such good films).

It's a shame to see Glengarry Glen Ross get eliminated, but I'm happy The Talented Mr. Ripley is moving on.
