So the fellas and I over in Star Wars-ville have been passing the time with a bunch of Pop Culture Tournaments (best character, best music, hottest chick) and I decided to move it into the prime-time part of the board.

The contest is best movie of the 1980s
There are 4 regions: Sci-fi/Fantasy, Comedy, Action/Adventure, and Drama/Horror

The seeding all done by me with help from BoxOfficeMojo. Each region has 32 entries.
For the round of 128, we're doing 1 region a day to cut down on the labor involved.

Today's bracket is Sci-fi/Fantasy. Here is the link to vote.

A note to those new to the style of game: Be as pissed and angry as you want about seeding and inclusions/exclusions, but I'm not going to change any of them.

Enjoy! It's been a lot of fun doing the Star Wars ones, hope this provides some entertainment to your quarantine.

Will cap voting sometime tomorrow, and the next bracket is Action/Adventure.

    It is so easy to be wrong—and to persist in being wrong—when the costs of being wrong are paid by others.

    Wait til you see the comedy region. I had 79 candidates and had to cut 47 of them. It was miserable.

    Optimus Prime didn't lay his life down (spoilers) so you could fail at reading comprehension...

    He obviously meant this one...


    Still a 1978 movie, but hell, it's close to being an 80's movie.

    Lots of "deciding which child will live" choices there. That was tough.

    I voted for Last Star fighter much like voting for the Libertarian candidate in Texas. You know they're not going to win but it makes you feel righteous and happy inside.

    That #15 vs #18 matchup is a tough one for me. I'll also admit that I'm the person who picked Star Trek IV over War Games, even though WG is great.

    You left the greatest 80's movie off that list - Raiders of the Lost Ark. Or is it under action?

    Same. It was a tie, but my grandparents took me to ST4, so I picked it.

    But you got Robocop and Short Circuit. Great
