Only 3 asterisks both sides and no caps because I'm lazy.

Yes, same rules as 80s. You may hate the picks, you may wish others were picked, but this is what we got. 64 movies. I randomized seeds so as to not somewhat stack the deck and knock out anything early

Some of these movies could be in other regions, I know

4 regions:
Comedies
Drama/Crime
Action/Scifi
Fantasy/Comic Book

Will extend first round voting to Monday when I get back to my office. Subsequent rounds will be 24 hours

Round 1

incoming spilner rant on placement of avatar.

good call leaving the most popular box office film of all time in the US out of the field of 64. That makes sense.

it's been 27 years since it took statistics at A&M but how does randomizing seeds keep something from getting knocked out early?

Winter soldier, black panther, gotg 2, infinity war. A lot coulda been in, but that's a beast of a region and I needed to give it some diversity

It's cool. I would have voted against Winter Soldier anyway, that was a tough matchup.

Fellowship of the Ring is in the running for my favorite movie of all time.

1 Gladiator
16 No Country for Old Men


4 Django Unchained
13 Training Day

5 Mad Max- Fury Road
12 Inception

I'm no mathlete, but it seems like it had the exact opposite effect.

It's getting kind of hard to believe
Things are going to get better
I've been drowning too long
To believe that the tide's going to turn
And I've been living too hard to believe
Things are going to get easier now
I'm still trying to shake off the pain
From the lessons I've learned
And if I see Van Helsing
I swear to the Lord I will slay him
A-ha-ha-haa!
He take you from me
But I swear I won't let it be so
A-ha-ha-haa!
Blood will run down his face
When he is decapitated, ah
His head on my mantle is how
I will let this world know
How much I love you
Die, die, die
I can't

This whole movie is classic! I was lucky to be TDY in Oahu for a few months in 2014 and stayed in the hotel on North Shore where they filmed most of the movie. It was fun seeing how they set it up. So many classic lines.

re: seeding, this could be done with an extra step. Post a doc with the 64 movies, and we all give a vote to the ones we like. The highest totals get 1 seeds, the lowest 16 seeds, and there you go.

Randomized, seeds are pointless except as placeholders. Might as well be "seed foo" versus "seed bar."

Pirates is one of the best blockbusters ever. That first one is so much fun. Endlessly rewatchable, solid characters, and Johnny Depp giving the performance of his career. (Before it got repetitive.)

And that amazing score by Hans Zimmer doesn't hurt.

I voted for Pirates. Gravity was cool on IMAX but I have no desire to watch it again.
