    Agreed fully.
    "Should" is a funny thing. There is a lot of love for Mad Max, Inception (my personal favorite in the final 8), and The Hateful Eight.

    So here we are, good folks and people! We're finally at the final for the 2010s decade. Quite an unexpected, or perhaps expected, match-up. Either way, I always feel it is the journey, not the destination, and once we're done, as usual I'll post our overall ranking of all the entries.

    I also want to take this time to thank everyone, once again, for your continued support and voting and healthy discussions! This particular portion of the tournament coincided with my mom's decline and passing, and even though that was difficult to deal with, coming back here always brought a little solace. Thank you! And here's to a happy and safe Thanksgiving and the rest of the merry holidays coming up!

    But it's also time to think about the future! The next step of our Great Movie Tournament will be the glorious decade of the 1970s, often called the greatest decade of the movies! With the 1970s we'll start our fifth decade, which means this whole project will be at its halfway point! As usual, I've prepared some handy links to help you prepare your lists, jostle your memory, and just give you some food for thought:

    It seemed like the tournament would go on forever, but now I can't believe it's over!

    The 70's and older are really going to be tough for me. Looking through all your links I only came up with a list of 14 movies that I've actually sat down and watched all the way through.

    There are probably another couple dozen that I at least have a vague awareness of but have never seen in their entirety.

    I say was just skip the tournament and name The Godfather the winner...
    Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?

    The first one is widely considered the best one of the trilogy yes?

    If only. With the way we've been voting the Godfather will probably lose in the Quarterfinals to fucking Superman or something.

    Thanks for organizing the tournament Mae, it was a lot of fun. I'll have to start getting my list for the 70s ready.

    I love the tournaments for so many different reasons, but one of the recent reasons is that every time we have a tournament, I end up finding more movies to buy! Looking forward to adding some 70s films.

    Ready! The 70's is probably the best decade of film ever. The sheer amount of amazing films released during that timeframe is simply staggering.

    Not to mention you had greats like Hitchcock, Lumet, Kubrick, Coppola etc., all operating during that era and its clear it was a pivotal decade for cinema.

    I will be watching A LOT of 70's films. I hope to learn more movies that I have missed.
