You're welcome! I basically spent the last few nights doing it while watching TV.

It's such a fun and illuminating exercise. One thing that is very apparent was the clear changing of the guard. ...

The results are in! This shouldn't come as a surprise, but the 70s were dominated by men (especially white men). There were only a few women who appeared in multiple movies that made the list.

I'm mortified.

I can't believe I forgot to nominate Bang the Drum Slowly. One of my favorite sports movies. This is going to bother me for a long time.

Nobody nominated Get Carter!?! How is that possible? I can't believe I left it off my list.

I love Westerns. I grew up watching John Wayne Westerns with my dad and grandfather. As I got older, I caught stuff like Wild Bunch and the Eastwood westerns and I realized how cheesy most of...

I wonder how many movies Eastwood is staring in this tournament. Seemed like a LOT! (and he deserved it)[/QUOTE]

I'm hoping Still Servant, as always, will delight us with his amazing actor...

Shit.

This happens every tournament. I start remembering other films. Somehow The Friends of Eddie Coyle was omitted from my list. And everyone else's apparently. LOL

Hoffman had a great decade. I think we need one more. Watch the trailer just to read the comments. :lol:

I didn't think I had to because I've kept pretty good track on my list, but I guess not.

Oh yeah! I had it in the seconded column of my sheet, but I didn't turn it green.

Let's do Two Mules for Sister Sara.

I'm surprised this one hasn't been nominated yet. Especially with a fairly recent and fairly popular remake.

Whew! I nominated it long ago. It was #1 on the unseconded list for a long time.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I kept watching it waiting for someone to second it. I felt weird because I haven't seen it, but I...

I haven't seen this one yet, but I've been wanting to watch it forever and finally picked it up on laserdisc recently. I feel comfortable seconding it even though I haven't seen it because I know I...

I do believe that the 1970s was an amazing decade of film. Was it the best? Arguably, yes.[/QUOTE]

I disagree. It’s the best for someone that it imprinted on. I think, it goes in tune with your...
