Hell and High Water vs Inglorious Basterds was my most difficult choice. Both are great. I picked inglorious because of the opening scene, but I went back and forth.
The closest vote is actually
District 9 vs. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest - separated by 1 vote right now.
That's surprising to me. PotC fell off significantly after Curse of the Bkack Pearl. District 9 was such a great movie. Eh, to each their own.
I think it's just that a lot of people haven't seen District 9.Micah97 said:The Porkchop Express said:I think if more people had seen Hell or High Water it would go really far in this field.

I would say Keira Knightley is arguably the hottest in Dead Man's Chest, so there's that.
So many great films in the last 25 years. The best part of that time frame has been the rise of Nolan and Villeneuve. I hope they continue to create films of the caliber we have come to expect from them for decades to come.
I thought that was the first Pirates. Oops. Wonder if others made the same mistake.
Voted District 9 either way.
Voted District 9 either way.
Some tough Round 1 matchups.
Rush was underrated. I was not wanting to watch it but a girl I dated at the time wanted to. Glad she convinced me to see it.

First Pirates will probably make a decent run although I haven't bothered looking at later round matchups.Ol Jock 99 said:

A field of 128 definitely sours my interest a lot of faster than 64 lol
Don't make every matchup mandatory in the next round. I don't want to throw the results voting between movies I haven't watched!
Thanks and gig'em

Deadpool and Wolverine vs Coco was my toughest match up.

Vored
Anyone have a suggestion for how long to make the subsequent rounds? 2 days each? 1 day each? I don't want this thing going forever.

Two matchups still tied 50%-50% through 124 votes.

Imo most votes will come in on the first day. Doubt we really need 2.

My vote can be used as tiebreaker.
Fury road easily should win this one. Can watch it multiple times and still be entertained. The other was a one time watch.

Let's have it at two days, please. In previous tournaments, I missed a vote not knowing when the new round started.
Yeah, 2 days sounds good.

Thanks for doing this, Pork. I always enjoy these.
Also, wife and I love Big Trouble. We watch it at least once a year.
I didn't go back to check but seems like I saw Green Book twice ?
My wife watched it once and never again! Probably my favorite non-star wars movie ever.Micah97 said:The Porkchop Express said:

I think we need an animated tv show tournament. I may have time to do it in the summer, but not until then.

If you make it about 1 week, it will drag on until March Madness, at which point we will all be so razor sharp on our selections we'll be dominating those NCAA brackets.
Hey, I need something to help my bracket selection because whatever I've been doing the last 18 years or so isn't working

This is what I told my daughter when she complained that Frozen wasn't included. She complained your anti snowman, and I sang, "Let it go"
Tell her I've seen Frozen 400 MILLION TIMES but I knew what would happen to it here. Same with Tangled, which is my favorite disney movie of the last 30 yearsIowaggie said:The Porkchop Express said:Start your own tourney anytime, chiefclonebucky said:Gangs and BH Down, as well as Bagger Vance, are far better than at least 80% of the original bracket IMO.Bruce Almighty said:

MY favorite IP address is back voting 30 times in a row.

I don't get voting multiple times on something like this, but do your thing I guess.
Brian Earl Spilner, despite our oft-tumultous relationship, I am truly sorry for one of the matchups coming in Round 2.
Life is better with a beagle
Well there are 2 Round of 64 matchups coming that could probably be final 4 or final 8 matchups. That's the breaks.

I take it we're getting a LOTR matchup.
My pick would be FOTR in any case but it would be a shame to lose any LOTR this early.
The movie in question will win the matchup, it just is going to knock another of your favorites.Brian Earl Spilner said:The Porkchop Express said:

Programming Note: Round 2 will start around 9-10 pm ISH tonight. I have to drive into hostile territory early tomorrow morning for a memorial service and don't want to try to get it done before hand.
Next project I do will be: Superbad & the Prestige - perfectly balanced movies.
