That's a pretty good list, most of the films were in our own Top 128. Some I would classify squarely as sci-fi (Invasion of Body Snatchers, Videodeome) or drama (Come and See, Saló).
In addition to the below, there are the rankings for Round 2:
Movies with 4 points:
Bram Stoker's Dracula (+6 in tiebreaker)
Jaws (+5 in tiebreaker)
Dawn of the Dead
Friday the 13th

Can't wait! :excited:
It's definitely in my Sci-Fi Top 10-or-So.
Here's some food for thought for our eventual sci-fi tournament: http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/digital/fact-vs-fiction/the-100-best-sci-fi-movies-of-all-time#slide-1
It so happens six are mine.
We don't have traditional ratings, but after Round 1, the films that failed to move on can be ranked thus:
Movies with 3 points:
New Nightmare (+5 in tiebreaker)
Pan's Labyrinth (+4 in...
I would nominate that in the sci-fi tournament.
Wrong.
I don't like separating animated films into their own "genre", since they can be any genre. One if my all-time favorite films is Grave of the Fireflies, which is a drama.

Not even Singin' in the Rain? One of the funniest films ever made!
Well we can definitely have a separate tournament for musicals, but I think it would have to be less than 128 titles.
Musicals are usually comedies (one of the best if not the best being Singin' in the Rain) so we could merge those two.
We can do comedies after that. In fact, we would do five genres, and then have an all-time best face-off between them. So: horror, sci-fi, comedy, action, drama. or something to that effect.
I could nominate 128 films right now :biggrin1:
A little while after we're done with this tournament we totally should do the same for sci-fi movies :excited:
Not a horror film. And also, way too late :)
Oh fuck I just realized we failed to nominate this:
