    Five Easy Pieces is the gem of this round. A phenomenal character study with brilliant acting by Nicholson.

    Finally a round I've seen at least half of. Five Easy Pieces needs more love. Everything that we came to love about Jack Nicholson sprouted up there.

    Really sad to see Solaris looking to bow out in the first round. Such a beautiful and meaningful sci-fi film.

    Not a great film, but such a great book, novella really. This is a movie that has long been rumored for a remake - I so wish they would go back and use the source material for that.

    Yeah, if foreign films from the past 10 years could barely make it out of the first round, it's going to be very difficult for one released in the 70s.

    I always thought Solaris was very well regarded. Oh well, there's still Stalker, coming up.
