    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
    Only the gentle are ever really strong.

    I voted for Empire.
    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?

    Same. And thank you and everyone, it's been a great distraction!

    Both films are masterpieces of science fiction and it is only fitting that they should face off against each other in the final.

    However, my vote goes to Aliens, as it's my favourite movie from the '80s and my second favourite movie of all time.

    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.

    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.

    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.
