    Let's do detective next and class up this joint a bit. Save your war day film festival and try to get 007 outvoted from all the walls of mystery movies.

    But don't put off Lolita. What, Mattrick?
    Maybe you want more background? I know you study. You're probably fine. I mean to say in general you can watch some films you don't know all about. In any case, it is ok to talk about what's on. How else can we learn?

    Half these films deserve it; the other half are lucky to be here.

    They are all solid films. Some better than others.

    Solid yes. Just half lucky to have gotten this far. Some much better films didn't make it this far.

    Well maybe I shouldn't chime in, but since I already did, I will say I respect the idea put that way. I still don't understand how it's supposed to help overly heated debate, but I don't know what the best answer really is. One thing anyone who decides they want to at least avoid adding to the confusion could do, however, is simply say nothing further that is unconstructive, which includes all loud calls for everybody to notice how quiet you are and any announcements that one has an unspecified problem with a whole tourney or with how everyone on the forums act.

    I'm surprised, I thought for sure 1 if not more would make it onto the finals.

    So in a hugely unexpected upset, Twelve Monkeys becomes our best sci-fi film of all time!

    What now, comedies?

    You lost your hair?

    I'm all right with it though I'm surprised it won. Actually, I'm surprised it even made it past semi-finals. I liked the movie but to me always felt like a "fan favourite" and a "cult movie" than a movie that would win a tournament over Alien, both Terminator movies, Space Odyssey 2001, Metropolis, Blade Runner etc.

    I'm curious as to how the list will change next year. I've watched three movies already because they were nominated and at least two will get votes from me they didn't this time.

    How about best box office flop? I don’t mean biggest failure but movies that did not do well in theaters but are really great movies.

    I think it should be a tournament to find the SHITTEST movie!

    Think of some of the contenders for this one...

    Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
    Jurassic Park 2
    Batman and Robin
    Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace
    Ishtar
    Heaven's Gate
    Jaws 3
    Superman IV The Quest for Peace
    etc etc etc....

    Congratulations to 12 Monkeys!



    I want to give a very special shout out to my eternal partner in crime, Heather! Thanks for always being so helpful and making yourself available babe A special thank you as well to Pablo for providing us with the trailers to each and every film and for providing the tournament's skeletal structure.

    And of course, as always, thanks to each and everyone of you that help make these tournaments what they are! I always have a blast discussing and debating films with you all. May we have many more of these in the near future.

    I had a blast, too, thanks to everyone who participated. Even though my personal favorites didn't make it far, this was a lot of fun. I think we did agree somewhat a doing comedies next when this topic came up a while back in thus very thread. We can go again with the 160 titles or try for 200 using the system I'm going with in the Starkblast tournament. We would certainly need a small break first but I personally cannot wait (go Bringing Up Baby!).
