80s tournament started April 9 when we were almost done with the coronavirus lockdown.
Oh yeah..... the one where Karate Kid won the drama bracket - WTF. Anyway it was a big pop culture flick for the 80s.
https://texags.com/forums/13/topics/3105703/0the final four were.
action - Raiders of the Lost Ark
drama - Karate Kid
comedy - Ghostbusters
sci-fi - Empire Strikes Back
I'm willing to have the ultimate tournament of champions once the 70s is done here. the 60s isn't gonna compare we know that. And the 10s are too young to have any longterm reflection on lasting quality.
I would have it by genre across decades 70s 80s 90s 00s winner for each genre, and then an Ultimate Final Four across genres.
comedy:
70s Animal House
80s Ghostbusters
90s Office Space
00s Hangover
drama:
70s Godfather
80s Karate Kid
90s Shawshank Redemption
00s Gladiator
sci-fi fantasy
70s Star Wars
80s Empire Strikes Back
90s Jurassic Park
00s LOTR III
action
70s Jaws
80s Raiders of the Lost Ark
90s Tombstone
00s The Dark Knight
*the 00s wasn't organized that way but the top 3 were TDK, LOTR III and Gladiator as the biggest vote getters and Hangover was #5 so the top comedy.
AND have a decade vs decade contest of the set of films for that decade:
70s - Jaws, SW, Godfather, Animal House
vs
80s - Raiders, ESB, Karate Kid, Ghostbusters
vs
90s - Tombstone, JP, Shawshank, Office Space
vs
00s - TDK, LOTR-III, Gladiator, Hangover.
I know which decade I'd vote #1 and it isn't close. But not sure how to decide seeding. TBD.
