Nah, I'll back you up, I'm sure those two other people in this world who were unimpressed would love to do so also...

No, you're not alone on that...


But, I can't believe so many people dislike Alyson Hannigan. I think those people shouldn't be allowed to vote :D...

[Sugar Magnolia]

2) Did you enjoy voting? Yes

3) Will you vote in round 2? I'm answering these questions, aren't I?

[dannywalker17]

1) Did you vote in round 1's matches?
Yes
2) Did you enjoy voting?
Yes
3) Will you vote in round 2?
Yes
4) How do you think the game is going so far?
good
5) Can you make any suggestions to make this tournament more fun or interesting?
not that I can think of
6) Do you think the films are well selected?
the original list of "The Best" was kinda weird
7) Should urbanlegend23 continue going with this tournament?
Yes
8) Is the overall idea of the tournament good?
Yes
9) Do you think there she be a limit on how many votes a film has to get to win? And what is your suggestion for that?
For Round 2 it should have to go to 15 or 20 votes to conclude the round IMO, but it's not that big of a deal.
10)Isn't Alyson Hannigan just absolutely gorgeous?
she's not too shabby

[Nate6]

Don't worry, charlie, I'm with you on LOTR all the way...

And now for the survey:

1) Did you vote in round 1's matches?
The vast majority of them, yes.

2) Did you enjoy voting?
Absolutely.

3) Will you vote in round 2?
Of course.

4) How do you think the game is going so far?
Very well. I'm hoping the tournament stays very close 'til the end, those ones are always more exciting.

5) Can you make any suggestions to make this tournament more fun or interesting?
Not really, no, it's going pretty well, I'd say!

6) Do you think the films are well selected?
For the most part. I don't think you left many big ones off though some of the ones you included are a little odd (Tom Jones, for example). But great job for the most part!

7) Should urbanlegend23 continue going with this tournament?
No, you suck. Just kidding, of course you should! You're doing very well.

8) Is the overall idea of the tournament good?
Superb. Certainly the most original. The twist in the whole thing is great. I can't wait to see which much-liked film we hate the most!

9) Do you think there she be a limit on how many votes a film has to get to win? And what is your suggestion for that?
I don't think so. If you were to do something like that, I'd say it should be a time limit (example: round will end Tuesday night) or something like that. But that's not necessary, I'd say continue to use your own judgement.

10)Isn't Alyson Hannigan just absolutely gorgeous?
I disagree!

[Moviefan1234]

01) Yes
02) Yes
03) Yes
04) Excellent thus far
05) Keep it the way it is
06) Not bad, not bad at all

09) No limit is really needed, just keep doing it the way you were in round 1.
10) Not really......

[DaveyJoeG]

1) Yes.
2) Yes.
3) Yes.
4) Very Well.

It is going pretty well, in my opinion.

YES!

8) Is the overall idea of the tournament good?

One of the more original tournament ideas. I dig it.

At least 10 schmoes should have to vote before a winner can be declared, in my opinion.

8) Is the overall idea of the tournament good?
What I said in #5.

9) Do you think there she be a limit on how many votes a film has to get to win? And what is your suggestion for that?

Sometimes. Pie movies...not really. Buffy. hell yeah! (especially when they changed her hair for season 6 sexay...lol)

Great guys! Thanks a lot for that!

Great to see most of the replies as being positive. Loved the responses to - is this a good idea for a tournament? I had been wondering ever since I started the tournament. Hated the negative responses to #10! Grr! Mike rocks! :D:D

Anyway - awesome stuff. Time for the first round...

coming soon...

*sorry, don't have the time now...:S*

[urbanlegend23]

Hey guys, here's match one! Sorry 'bout the wait!

ROUND 2 - MATCH 1

THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0000399WI.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

vs.

THE GODFATHER PART 2

http://i.imdb.com/Photos/Mptv/1204/5993_0014.jpg

I vote for my second favourite movie of all time, The Shawshank Redemption. Remember you're voting for your most favourite so it leaves and avoids being the worst of the best.

[charliebobo]

The Godfather Part II 10/10
The Shawshank Redemption 8/10

[bowieee]

THE GODFATHER PART 2

[dh1989]

The Shawshank Redemption (10/10)
The Godfather, Part II (6/10)

The Godfather Part II

[Voodoodoll]

The Shawshank Redemption.

Am joining the game late - I've only just realised how fun this forum is :)

[Sugar Magnolia]

The Godfather Part II

[screamer581]

The Godfather Part II

[Nate6]

The Godfather Part II is certainly better.

[Moviefan1234]

"The Shawshank Redemption"

[A.J. Hakari]

THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION

[radikill]

Shawshank Redemption

[Rob Gordon]

The Shawshank Redemption. I can't believe it's actually tieing with a Godfather movie that's not the third one!

[Hannibal21]

Ahhhhhh! This round is so cruel. I give both movies a 10/10, grrrrrrrr.

Oh what the hell, I'll vote for THE GODFATHER PART II (10/10). I LOVED Shawshank Redemption (10/10) though.

[Damned Martian]

Shawsank Redemption 8/10
Godfather II 7.5/10

[BadCoverVersion]

The Shawshank Redemption

Purely because I haven't yet fully experienced the joys of The Godfather flicks...

On day though...

[Ren Hoek]

9 votes for The Shawshank Redemption and just 7 votes for one of the greatest masterpieces in film history so far??? :eek: Well...

The Godfather, Part II

[dannywalker17]

The Shawshank Redemption

[urbanlegend23]

Since this round is so close (with Shawshank currently winning) I figured I'd keep it going a little longer.

[JCPhoenix]

The Shawshank Redemption

[Annie Hall]

The Godfather Part II!!!!

One *MILLION* times over, the Godfather Part II

[arto_j]

I almost chose not to vote, but I'll chip in after all and give my vote to The Shawshank Redemption. Mainly just because I have actually sometime seen it, even though I don't recall that much.

[Sad man]

The Godfather, Part II (9/10)

[urbanlegend23]

The Shawshank Redemption leaves our tournament winning that round 12-10. As for The Godfather Part 2, well in round 3 it will have to faceoff with one of these movies...

ROUND 2 - MATCH 2

THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING

http://i.imdb.com/Photos/Ss/0120737/1

vs.

12 ANGRY MEN

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000056HEC.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

I vote for The Fellowship of the Ring (9/10) as I have no intention of seeing 12 Angry Men.

[A.J. Hakari]

12 ANGRY MEN

[asyouwish530]

Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

[Nate6]

12 Angry Men is obviously better. Too bad it's going to lose...

[dh1989]

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (10/10)

[screamer581]

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, though 12 Angry Men is also great.

[XpatrickX]

12 angry men

[Michael_myers]

12 angry men since LOTR sucked a hairy cock

[charliebobo]

12 Angry Men of course.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

[DaveyJoeG]

The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring

[Ren Hoek]

Yes, call me names ...or just say that I'm just one of these Tolkien fanboys, but NO!, I am not ashamed to vote against a really cool classic like 12 Angry Men:

Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

Ta-taa!

[Rob Gordon]

12 Angry Men

[PrettyInPink]

12 Angry Men.

[Addi88]

Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

[The Claw]

I've not seen 12 Angry Men but I am getting pissed off at those damn LOTR movies therefore, I am voting for it.

[urbanlegend23]

Well, that was a pretty good match! Unfortunately for Nate6 and his 8 angry men that voted for the movie that will be moving to round 3, LOTR won 11-9. I thought 12 Angry Men was going to pull through for a minute there! Oh well, time to move on to an even more unpredictable match...

ROUND 1 - MATCH 3

FIGHT CLUB

http://i.imdb.com/Photos/Ss/0137523/024543035893_z_fighicau.jpg

vs.

CITIZEN KANE

http://i.imdb.com/Photos/Mptv/1196/3353_0030.jpg

Well this is an EXTREMELY easy decision for me. I had VERY lukewarm feelings about the boring Citizen Kane (5/10) and I love Fight Club (10/10), one of my all-time favourites.

FIGHT CLUB it is!!!!

[Sugar Magnolia]

Fight Club

[Nate6]

Holy shit! This is the toughest round in history. Hmmm...

I don't know, I think Citizen Kane.

[A.J. Hakari]

FIGHT CLUB

[charliebobo]

Definitely Citizen Kane

[Hannibal21]

"Sure we're talking. Jedidiah. You're fired."

DEFINITELY CITIZEN-FUCKING-KANE! I have said this a hundred times but Citizen Kane is the greatest acheivement ever in movie history. There's absolutely no contest here.

[Ren Hoek]

Fight Club is a technically brilliant social satire
Citizen Kane is a technically brilliant social satire with a SOUL ...it gets my vote!

I have a bad feeling about this tournament... :(

[Damned Martian]

I'm so sorry... I'm so ashamed... But I have to vote against one of the most important movies of the history... Because I like Fight Club much, much more... Does it make me a moron??:(

Same here. I hesitated at first but now I'm even more certain of my earlier vote for Citizen Kane, it's a great, powerful, influential movie - much more so than Fight Club, in my opinion. But whatever...

[charliebobo]

[arto_j]

Because I'm an unciviliced asshole, I'll vote for Fight Club.

Go ahead, you uncouth heathen!

Just kidding. Fight Club is a great movie too, I didn't mean to suggest it wasn't.

I'll say FIGHT CLUB. Nate, don't spank me. :)

[screamer581]

Well damn, a "new" classic vs. a "old" classic. What is a guy to do? I really hate voting against Fight Club, but I am going to have to here...Citizen Kane gets my vote. Oh yeah, what is with all this spanking?.......I want in.:D

[Moviefan1234]

"Fight Club"

[dannywalker17]

Fight Club

[RogueSpear]

Fight Club

[ColinM]

I vote for Fight Club. The other is more revolutionary, of course, but I defintiely perfer Fight Club...

[Addi88]

Fight Club

[JCPhoenix]

Well while I think Citizen Kane (9/10) is amazing technically (especially with the window thingy at the beginning) and the last half is definitely better than the first imo, it's not a movie I'd watch several times.

Fight Club (10/10) is one of my favorite movies (it's not on my left hand side favorite movies list, but it's #4 so...) and I love watching it all the time. It's brilliant and entertaining at the same time.

I vote for Fight Club

[XpatrickX]

CITIZEN KANE

[Mike]

Why thank you! You are pretty kick ass yourself ;)... The negative responses kind of bugged me too. Alyson is a cutie and I love the character of Willow. I can't wait to see her in American Pie 3. Hopefully after BUFFY she'll have a good movie career, because she's very talented and deserves to be successful. Plus, I'd hate it if I couldn't watch her on BUFFY anymore and she didn't make many movies. I don't want her to be one of those stars that you see on a "Where are they now?" show someday.

Anyway, for this match, my vote easily goes to FIGHT CLUB!

[Hannibal21]

Right now it seems Fight Club is definitely winning. :( Come on guys, any more CITIZEN KANE fans out there? If 'Citizen Kane' becomes the 'worst of the best films', I think my brain will be severly damaged. But I know that won't happen..........or could it? :confused:

[dh1989]

Fight Club (10/10) by 5,000 miles!

[Ren Hoek]

18-9 in favour of FIGHT CLUB

FUCK! Why does almost every film have to lose against Fincher. Fight Club is a fine movie... but Citizen Kane is such a great classic goddamnit! And without Citizen Kane there would be no Fight Club, kids! Please keep that in mind :)

...ouch, my brain hurts! I need my medicine, Hannibal :(

I know the feeling Ren. :( Come on guys, the reason movies today even exists is because of Orson Welles' masterpiece.

Man, I need to lie down, I think I might faint. In fact, I think I'm now blind.....I can't see a thing.......my head and stomach hurts.......I have to throw up........I'm dying.........ahhhhhhhhhh!

Preach it, brother! He's right, by the way.

[urbanlegend23]

That was a pretty controversial match! Phew - I think I let it go on for too long.

Ren already said it - Fight Club gets kicked out on its ass 18-9. Don't worry Kanes, I have a feeling your preferred flick could lose its match in round 3 (it's against 12 Angry Men :()

ROUND 3 - MATCH 3

STAR WARS: EPISODE IV - A NEW HOPE

http://i.imdb.com/Photos/Mptv/1009/3748_0208.jpg

vs.

REAR WINDOW

http://i.imdb.com/Photos/Ss/0047396/1

Though I do love A New Hope (8/10), [B]Rear Window just looks like a much better movie to me. I haven't seen it yet and should be hung for not doing so but I will see it soon and I'm almost positive I'll like it more than A New Hope.

Just a reminder - you're voting for the film you like the most so it leaves the tournament and avoids being the worstg of the best! Get voting!

[Nate6]

Rear Window is the better one here.

My vote too goes to Star Wars: Episode IV- A New Hope (10/10), one of the best films ever created.

[Ren Hoek]

REAR WINDOW

...and thanks for your kind words, Nate and Hannibal. Mucho appreciated :)

See you in the next round, Orson!

[arto_j]

I love them both, but I'm gonna have to vote for Rear Window.

[Hannibal21]

Rear Window. No question here!

You're very welcome Ren. :) Us Kane fans have to stick together and always vote for the best movie ever made! :)

[Addi88]

A New Hope

[urbanlegend23]

Yet another unpredictable match. Currently its a tie 7-7. Keep the votes rollin on in!

PSYCHO

vs.

THE USUAL SUSPECTS

http://i.imdb.com/Photos/Ss/0114814/fcstil_0086.jpg

I despise The Usual Suspects in each and every way (except Kevin Spacey, pictured), but Psycho is one of my top 5 movies ever. Care to guess which one gets my vote?

And dear God Alfred Hitchcock is one scary looking man.

[screamer581]

Psycho

[Ren Hoek]

PSYCHO ...IMO, The Usual Suspects should 'win' this tournament :D

[Hannibal21]

PSYCHO is in my top 10. The best horror movie ever created.

[A.J. Hakari]

THE USUAL SUSPECTS

[Kastman]

The USual suspects

[The Young Son]

The Usual Suspects

[Damned Martian]

Both disappointing for me

Usual Suspects, i guess...

[Ren Hoek]

Damnit, I just came back from my optician who prescribed me new glasses... but there must be something wrong with them. Looks like The Usual Suspects is defeating the godfather of all thrillers. No way, it can't be true that Psycho is losing. Must have something to do with my eyes... :(

Even though I like the Usual Suspects a helluva lot, I gotta vote for Hitch's PSYCHO.

The Usual Suspects.

All you have to do is look at the left hand side and u'll know y :D

[urbanlegend23]

Wow! I am VERY surprised! I thought Psycho would be kicked out of the tournament easily but it is moving to round 3! Half the voters preferred The Usual Suspects, the score was 14-7. This is one of the most annoying, aggravating and surprising matches ever!

Me, I would give Psycho a 10/10, whereas Usual Suspects gets about a 2/10! Oh well, we all have our opinions...time to move on...

I would be surprised if the overrated modern movie doesn't beat the great old classic.

I give my vote to It's A Wonderful Life!!!

[screamer581]

It's A Wonderful Life

ROUND 2 - MATCH 6

REQUIEM FOR A DREAM

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00005Q4CS.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

vs.

SOME LIKE IT HOT

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00005A06N.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

It's pretty obvious what I vote for. Requiem for a Dream, my favourite film, should've been out of this tournament a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away...

[Hannibal21]

Requiem for a Dream is in my top 20.

However, Some Like it Hot is my 4th favorite movie and the funniest film I have ever seen. Count one vote for Marilyn! It's time for a classic to win! :mad: Although most schmoes here love Requiem for a Dream, I have a bad feeling about this match. :(

Listen to this smart schmoe, he's damn right! Both films are on a par in my book. However, since I am so sick that every match is won by a 90s movie I'll vote for Some Like it Hot, a bloody funny classic comedy :)

[arto_j]

Anyway I vote for Requiem for a Dream.

REQUIEM winning at the moment. However I feel that maybe SOME LIKE IT HOT could pull through, so I'm leaving this match open a little longer.

Come on Urban, end the match so we can say goodbye to Requiem! :)

Man, 10-9 in favor of Requiem. But I'll cross my fingers as I'm starting to have more confidence for SOME LIKE IT HOT. :)

[urbanlegend23]

That was a Requiem victory - oh what a dream! Score was 11-9. One of the closest matches yet!

Moving on...

ROUND 2 - MATCH 7

RAGING BULL

vs.

DAS BOOT

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/0767802489.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

I don't really know who to vote for. I saw Raging Bull (8/10) and liked it, and I haven't seen Das Boot but really want to. Since it will probably lose and I think it looks better than Raging Bull, I will vote for Das Boot.

[SubMethod]

Das Boot

[Mick]

RAGING BULL

[A.J. Hakari]

DAS BOOT

[dh1989]

God, I hate Das Boot. It deserves to STAY IN, thus I vote for Raging Bull (10/10). Scorsese's second best!

[charliebobo]

Raging Bull

[Ren Hoek]

I love them both, but I'm pretty sure that DAS BOOT will lose this round... it gets my pity vote :)

[Rob Gordon]

I'm pretty sure it'll lose too, but I'm still voting for Raging Bull.

[The Claw]

Raging Bull

[Addi88]

Raging Bull

[MikeyB]

Raging Bull

[Sugar Magnolia]

Definitely Raging Bull, my 2nd favorite movie ever...

[screamer581]

Das Boot is a great and very realistic flick, but I have to go with De Niro's second best (behind Taxi Driver), Raging Bull.

[arto_j]

Das Boot, though Raging Bull was also quite good. I don't really care for boxing movies, so maybe that's why I didn't get into it as much as a lot of people seemed to.

[Damned Martian]

Haven't seen either yet, I guess I'll vote for Scorsese: Raging Bull

[Moviefan1234]

"Raging Bull"

[Nate6]

Raging Bull

[urbanlegend23]

At the moment its 11-5 in favour of Raging Bull. Just a few more votes and then we'll move on.

That was a pretty bland match, Raging Bull just kicked ass 13-5. I think this one is pretty predictable also:

I think my vote tis obvious.

I thought "Crouching..." was painfully over-rated so I vote for Annie Hall...I do hope to see it someday! ;)

[dh1989]

I think both are hugely overrated movies, but at least Annie Hall (6/10) is tolerable.

As much as I love Toy Story (9/10), my vote has to go to Chicken Run (10/10), it's my 13th favourite movie.
