I hope this doesn't end with a tie for the finale, but for what it's worth I voted for Aliens. I know I'm in the minority as I wouldn't have either of these near the top of my 80s list, but this was a fun tournament never the less, and thanks Mae for all the hard work you've put into it :)
I voted for Empire.
Same. And thank you and everyone, it's been a great distraction!Quote:

Aliens.
EMPIRE. I cannot believe it is even close.
Both films are masterpieces of science fiction and it is only fitting that they should face off against each other in the final. :thumbsup:
However, my vote goes to Aliens, as it's my favourite movie from the '80s and my second favourite movie of all time. :clap:
So I’m watching all the Alien movies. I’m in the very one in this tourney. I do not remember it hardly at all! This is much better than the first one for sure. I have a feeling my favourite BUT... it’s the same story I think we see in every one of these. I will forget this one again in time. I’m loving it.... don’t get wrong... BUT ESB I never forgot and never will. It’s iconic. I do not feel Aliens is. Gonna watch part 3 this Sunday.
Game over man! Game over.
:cry::cry::emot-flame::deadhorse::dick:
Five hours left and Ripley just cut off Luke's hand.
Aliens if someone forces a tiebreaker.
Just in case some yahoo was considering coming in here and voting for Empire in the final 5 minutes and screwing everything up

Boom! Aliens has it. The best film won! :clap:
At long last, and by the slimmest of margins, our winner of the third part of The Great Movie Tournament and the best film of the 1980s is Aliens (1986), directed by James Cameron.
all hail the King... or in this case, Queen!
:clap: CONGRATS MAE!! :clap:
Thanks for a job well done.
Finally, a result I can agree with! Maybe I'll be more invested in the next tournament. I expected Aliens to make it to the top 8, but I assumed Empire, Die Hard, Raiders of the Lost Ark, or Back to the Future would win. What films were in the final 8 again?
We need to start a gambling pool associated with these. After all the nominations are finalized we need to have people fill out the final 16 films, 8 films, 4, films, 2 films, and winner. Apply points for each correct film you guess and the won with the highest points wins the pot.
Thanks Mae!!! This was a lot of fun and some interesting discourse throughout.
I've added a 1 through 256 ranking here: https://www.thedarktower.org/palaver...=1#post1200375Quote:
