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!

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

Oooh, I don't think anything but Dr. Strangelove could make me vote against Rear Window. Both are two of my favorites...but...it is not only possible, but essential...in this here case..that...
...Strangelove has the edge.

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.
