I'm just going to come out and say that I'm voting Raising Arizona all the way through. I love The Rock, but Raising Arizona is in my first tier of favorite movies all time.

---

That's hero talk

I'll be honest, I watched Raising Arizona a couple years ago and was underwhelmed. I think it got built up too much for me.

I agree. I wasn't a fan.

You're right.

In the last 3 days, Face/off, gone in 60 seconds, and national treasure have been on tv.

Final Four Results:

1. The Rock (68%) vs 5. Raising Arizona (32%)
2. Con Air (76%) vs 6. Gone in 60 Seconds (24%)

Gone in 60 Seconds made it interesting for a little bit, but then Con Air ran away with it like Eleanor.

Raising Arizona was never really in this one.

And because I'm curious, I'll throw in a consolation match in the final round.

Championship:
1. The Rock vs 2. Con Air

Consolation:
5. Raising Arizona vs 6. Gone in 60 Seconds

Update?

Ok, how the hell did yall let The Rock beat Face/Off!! Gonna give yall a piece of my mind.

I am convinced everyone here is not separating what a great movie The Rock is (and it is) and Cage's role in it. The Rock is Connery's film. That Cage just happened to be in. He played a sub lead of a nerdy scientist that did not allow for any classic Cage-ism to come through. The role was restricted and so was Cage. I can concede that The Rock is a better overall movie than Face/Off (better get me liquored up first to do so) but there is no way, and I mean, NO WAY that Cage in The Rock is a better Cage than in Faceoff.

This is why our country is going to the dogs. I weep for our future.

This whole thing is bust and I refuse to acknowledge the end results.

Face/Off lost to Gone in 60 Seconds.

Oh, well ***** Misread. That is embarrassing. I'll keep up the original to shame myself.

Still don't agree with that loss but at least a case can be made and it blows up my original tirade's point.

I'm going to be honest: I saw Face/Off in theaters back when it came out. Probably was at the crappy dollar place in Bryan as I had no money. I don't recall much beside "eh, cheesy" and have never revisited it. Maybe I was tired. Maybe the theater quality sucked. Maybe there were loud folks in the audience. I don't recall. I was 20 and that was a long time ago.

The Rock however, was memorable. And rewatchable. And a hell of a lot of fun.

There's been less voting than usual on this round, and it's a holiday weekend, so I'm gonna let it run till Monday. (One of the matchups is nearly 50/50 right now.)

Even though your entire premise was faulty, I agree with your thoughts.

The Schulmann 6! I went to see the Stephen King very bad movie "Needful Things" there. When a guy pumps a shotgun in the movie at least 19 different people yelled out " HELL YEA!!1"

I swear Face/Off is on at least one channel about 40% of the time.

Weird, I don't feel like I've seen it on TV since I saw it in the theater in 1997. I'm fairly certain I sat on literally the front row and made out with my girlfriend the whole movie

IFC or one of the other primarily-movie channels has it on all the time.

How are 8 mm and Family Man not on the list? Snake Eyes is good too!

Or did I have bad taste in movies in the late 90s/early oughts?

You are 66.6% incorrect. Might want to check the OP.

(8mm didn't make the cut but it was considered, as was It Could Happen to You.)

Your winner, by a vote of 64% to 36%, is...

The Rock

No surprise there. (I just expected Face/Off rather than Con Air to be the challenger when I started this tourney.)

And your third place winner, by a vote of 58% to 42%, is... Gone in 60 Seconds.

This was a close matchup and was nearly 50/50 as late as Saturday night. Good showing for Raising Arizona throughout this tournament.

Thanks all for participating!
