4 lower seeds winning as of 8 p.m.
still nobody can tell me the only movie with 90+% of the vote!

Pulp Fiction and The Matrix should be 90%+

Unrelated to this round, I just wanted to state that Desperado was criminally underseeded and might be the perfect action movie. That is all.

It's list of 40 goofs on IMDB disagrees with you.

On the other hand, the Salma Hayek scene is a top 10 movie scene of all time.

Geez the person that made that list must live a miserable existence

Also, every scene in the bar and Salma Hayek render that argument completely moot.

I absolutely love Pulp Fiction, but Unforgiven is a masterpiece.

Okay. After studying the bracket, I think the answer has to be Tombstone over Face/Off with 90+% of the vote.

My prediction of the 4 upsets:
Starship Troopers over Galaxy Quest is an obvious choice. In fact, I could see this one being a landslide victory.
Otherwise, I don't see any that are obvious upsets, but probably half the match-ups could go either way are basically coin flips.


I think the movie with 90+% of the vote is one of the 5 below:
Matrix over Contact
Tombstone over Face/Off
(it isn't about Matrix & Tombstone being great, it's about Contact & Face/Off being so terrible)
Silence of the Lambs over LA Confidential
Shawshank over Se7ven
(it isn't about LA Confidential or Se7ven being bad, it's about SotL & Shawshank being fantastic)

The movie that has now reached 93% of the vote in its matchup remains safely anonymous

The was my next guess (honestly). The Crow as a fine movie and all, but definitely outclassed.

Now, The Crow SOUNDTRACK....that was on constant rotation in High School.

And Face / Off is the epitome of good/bad action films.

I think Silence of the Lambs will win but I believe LA Confidential will give it a run for its money. Then again I was shocked that Tommy Boy beat The Sandlot, so it is obvious my taste in movies doesn't exactly jive with many here.

You could make a solid argument on basically 14/16 of those dramas being the best movie of the decade.

I'm a little surprised at Air Force One beating The Professional so handily.
