I've got a fever, and the only cure is a new tournament.

Initial thoughts
Best Picture winner 2000-2023 = 24 spots
Box office champ 2000-2024 = 25 spots
79 wild cards based on IMDB ranking.

128 total seeds - random pairings.
4 brackets, 32 matchups per bracket, no #s next to the seeds, just go at it.

My fantasy football season is done. Aggie baseball doesn't start for over a month. Cobra Kai finale is weeks away.

Sure, what the hell!

Early audible: There are 2 extra wild card spots because:
1. Return of the King won both Best Picture and the box office crown in 2003
2.. The year of COVID gave us Bad Boys for Life as the box office champ, and since I'm guessing it will get zero votes, I'm omitting it.

So 47 automatics and 71 wild cards.

Apologies to any Bad Boys enthusiasts

The complete field in no order other than Oscar winners, box office champs second, wild cards third. Deadpool & Wolverine at #128 was my choice out of lots of movies tied at a certain rank, so excuse the bias.

THESE ARE NOT RANKED AND WILL NOT BE RANKED!

I will probably load it New Year's Night (1/1) and let the first round go all the way to Sunday night, and then have it go several days per round for maximum effort.

If you spot anything that appears more than once, please let me know! TIA

    Boycotting this one! No Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, which is a better film than at least 90% of those listed!

    I'll sub it for one of the doubled-up ones so you don't tantrum. And use the other for Baby Driver since it also was a commplaint.

    Parasite is there twice, and the secret lives of others should be the replacement.

    12 Years A Slave is on there twice.

    And I nominate Hell or High Water as the replacement.

    Ok I swapped out Parasite and 12 Years a Slave.

    The hardest thing now is to NOT to the draw, but actually do my job.

    I'll aim to post the bracket on Wednesday evening.

    Thanks for all the help, just post or DM me if there are more doubles.

    Now I've found this fun thing that lets you pick 2 numbers together in pairs, so I can randomize the matchups.

    You have Avengers Endgame listed twice. I'd replace the duplicate with Captain America The Winter Soldier.

    edit - but it's your poll, replace it with whatever you like.

    Crash and Shape of Water are terrible. Neither will win a single round.

    Love seeing Prisoners on here. Massively underrated.
