That reminds me, if a top 4 seed comes out of your group you also get a bracket named for you.

We reached 64 entries with 20% yesterday and now the cuts have begun. Two days of groups left. The current #64 seed received 22.4% of the vote. Based on these last two days, the cutoff for the knockout round will probably be around 30% of the vote.

Top 4 seeds remained unchanged for a second straight day.
For my super stat nerd fellows, the current break down is.

2 entries >70%
9 entries between 60.0%-69.9%
7 entries between 50.0%-59.9%
11 entries between 40.0%-49.9%
15 entries between 30.0%-39.9%

There's only one entry from these twenty that doesn't deserve a vote.
Edit: Bad at the maths.

Disagree.

The Contest episode of Seinfeld separates itself. The fact that a major network sitcom was able to have an entire episode based around that, constantly skirting the edge and making jokes, with so many memorable quotes and dialogues. It takes the cake in that group.

I voted for that entry, but it doesn't change the fact that the other entries are good enough to win many of the other brackets (except Schoolhouse Rock).

But the beauty of this contest is not about historical notability, it's just what thing makes you the happiest or you remember the most fondly. That's the joy of this ridiculous tournament. personally I think anyone not voting for Big Trouble in Little China is a moron, but I understand there are other choices.

I agree with you on both counts! The Contest episode makes me happiest in that group. And Big Trouble In Little China should be a strong, strong contender going forward.

Unfortunately Big Trouble is unlikely to make it out of its own group. But it did have its own tournament so I can't be too sad.

I just want to see Zeppelin, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and Breaking Bad in the same group and witness the meltdown from Brian.

Alright this tournament is trash if people are voting against it in that group.

/I kid. Good point on the own tournament haha

Don't you put that evil on me.

FYI, I voted for Thor over Star Wars solely for the use of Immigrant Song.

And I voted for everything SW in every bracket it has been in because it's SW.

Really strong vote today. As of now about 9 of today's entries are going to make the field of 64.

The final day's groups have some real doozies among them, I'd say 2 and possibly 3 of the 5 groups have 3 entries that could win a substantial # of groups.

Tomorrow night I'll seed the 4 brackets and we'll be off to the races

Thursday - Round of 64
Friday - Round of 32
Saturday - Sweet 16
Sunday - Elite 8
Monday - Final Four
Tuesday - title round

After this is over, I've got one tournament left in the chamber - best moments from Game of Thrones - then I'll be on another tournament hiatus for a while.

Group Day #8 winners

Senor Cadgage's Group - Appetite for Destruction by GNR

Disagree - Quint's USS Indianapolis Story vs. "You Can't Handle The Truth!" is just terrible. Those are two of my favorite individual scenes in film.

The USS Indy speech is my favorite scene in any movie or tv show. That was an easy pick.
