I almost didn't vote for Avatar because I feel it is a greatly overrated movie. However, it is still is a good movie and if it wasn't overrated, I would have voted for it with no hesitation, so figured I shouldn't punish the movie for being overrated.

[Still Servant]

Weird group for me.

I've seen a lot of the films in the tournament, but this bracket happens to have most of the films that I haven't seen in it. Also, is Emily Rose a good movie? For some reason I never gave it much thought.

I'm really surprised at how well Emily Rose is doing. It's streaming free with ads on Crackle if you wish to check it out: https://www.sonycrackle.com/the-exorcism-of-emily-rose/2478287

And I'm sad to see May with only two votes. It's such a weird and fun movie. It's one of my favorites from 2002. Love it.

[Ricky]

May is nuts. That final shot. Oh man. So twisted and sad and shocking.

[Tommy]

May is nuts. That final shot. Oh man. So twisted and sad and shocking.

I adore that ending. One of the best in horror.

[Heather19]

Why are there only 2 votes for Triplets of Belleville...?

Why are there only 2 votes for Triplets of Belleville...?

And May :cry:

School of Rock (38.10%)
The Exorcism of Emily Rose (28.57%)
Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (19.05%)
Caché (14.29%)


And the following two titles have been eliminated:


May (9.52%)
The Triplets of Belleville (9.52%)

[Heather19]

I'm still shocked it was only the 2 of us to vote for Triplets. Has no one seen it? It's not like many of the other films got tons of votes to take away from it either.

And I still have not seen May. I guess I better rectify that soon.

[mae]

Please do, Heather! May is amazing!
