American Beauty is overrated, unrealistic crap, that is only saved by the great performances by Kevin Spacey, Wes Bentley, and Thora Birch. (C-)

Evil genius...gotta love that title. MUHAHAHAHA!!!

Anyway, that was a great first match. American Beauty wins 11-10, so it has left the tournament, avoiding to be the worst of the best. So that means The Shawshank Redemption moves on to round 2 because you guys, well most of you guys, consider AB the better film. Goddit? Okey dokey.

EVERYONE REMEMBER YOU VOTE FOR THE FILM YOU LOOOOOOOOOOOVE THE MOST, BECAUSE THEN IT WILL LEAVE THE TOURNAMENT. REMEMBER, WE'RE LOOKING FOR THE WORST FILM, NOT THE BEST. THANK YOU!

Well my vote is for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring even though I liked Schindler's List better. I feel really sorry for LOTR because when it first came out everyone was like WOW and now you guys don't like it much even though its still an excellent movie.

Didn't make much difference though, the match ended up a shocking 12-6 to Schindler's List.

I agree with Urban, Se7en was a great flick, but it was a tad overrated by the masses. The Empire Strikes Back on the other hand was the best of the Star Wars flicks, and also IMO one of the best sci fi flicks ever, so it gets my vote.
