I would chip in for a large banner for the director of whatever wins

He seeding in this bracket... absolute **** show disaster.

Ferris Bueller a top 4 comedy? Airplane #5? What the hell man?

Through the early returns, a couple of top 10 upsets seem possible, if not likely. Will close voting early Monday morning to get to Drama/Horror, then all 4 regions will go at the same time on Tuesday.

Trading Places? Hard to believe this comedy classic would be left off.


Feel free to make your own bracket anytime.


No I'd rather just ***** about your bracket

Thanks for taking the time to do this for us, Muck. You're providing a ton of fun for the rest of us freeloaders.

Admit it, though... you forgot about Trading Places, right? That's easier to understand than the notion it did not make the cut.

On IMDBs top rated comedies of the 80s it is #14..... while 48 Hours is not even on the list of top 40.

48 Hours is more drama than comedy really anyway. Trading Places is outright comedy.

Are we getting new posts when the next rounds open? Or do we just keep checking the old links? If the latter, can we edit the OP with a master list of links?
Fat Bib Fortuna

I will open the next round Monday a.m. I extended it an extra day for comedy for the Easter holiday.

Once Tuesday rolls around, all 4 regions will be voting at once for the round of 64.

So what will be the biggest horror movie that gets left off the list?

The Shining? Evil Dead? Aliens? Place your bets, folks!

But in all seriousness, there's about to be a TON of trash in this bracket.

Edit: Nevermind, just saw that you're including Drama with Horror. Makes a lot more sense. But also, that seems like a weird pair of genres to mash together. I would've figured Horror should go with Sci-Fi.

Aliens wasnt horror. It was action.

Alien was horror.

Sci-Fi had too much cool stuff in it to waste spots on horror movies. What are those ones you mentioned? Never heard of any of them.

And they're both sci-fi.

You can have more that one genre.

    I use a paid version of Google Analytics for my business and it's one of the throw-ins for charging you an arm and a leg (no pun intended on my part)

    Very odd top 10 upset taking place today that sort of belies everything I assume about TexAgs.
