So many great films in this bracket. And Nutty Professor 2!

[divemaster]

Most of these groupings, I've voted for 1, maybe 2 films. And now, with my #1 film of all time, it's in a group where I vote for 4. Funny how that works out.

Same. I'm seeing a lot of movies I haven't actually seen here, which is probably good (gives me something to watch), but even when I've seen most of them I don't necessarily think there's 6 good enough to move on.

I'm kinda surprised to see Frailty doing this well, usually little known (but awesome) thrillers seem to struggle (see Session 9).

LotR is going to be a powerhouse this tournament. What if all 3 make it to Semis? :o

I am glad it's doing so well. It is such a great movie and that ending OMG, it was incredible. I might need to watch that again soon.

Believe it or not, I actually voted for this one too. It was one of those movies I didn't remember I had seen until I saw the trailer and then I recalled it, and remembered liking it.

I loved the trilogy, but FOTR is by far my favorite of the 3. It depends on what they run against, but I don't see myself voting for the other two too high.

Same for me. It's going to be interesting.

Me three. The first one is a near perfect film.
