[Rashid]

I could only vote for 4 cause I either hadn't seen any of the two movies, or the decision was just too hard to make.

1. Pulp Fiction vs One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

2. Psycho vs 12 Angry Men

3. Godfather vs Silence Of The Lambs

4. Raiders Of The Lost Ark vs Citizen Kane

[JStarr]

1. Pulp Fiction vs One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

--Gimme Samuel L. and Travolta at their coolest over Jack at his craziest. Close call, though.

2. Psycho vs 12 Angry Men

--I can't front on Hitch.

3. Godfather vs Silence Of The Lambs

--Another tough call, but no Brando-liver and chianti for Hannibal. Pacino as Michael made the Godfather movies for me, and he's the difference here.

4. Raiders Of The Lost Ark vs Citizen Kane

--Um, yeah...I enjoy Indy as much as the next guy, but come on. No contest.

5. Empire Strikes Back vs City Of God

--Grew up with Star Wars, and Empire made Jedi must-see film. Then came those damn Ewoks, but that's another story.

6. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly vs Seven Samurai

--Close, but still, I give love to Clint.

7. Shawshank Redemption vs Fight Club

--Uplifting spiritual journey based on a favorite writer's work...or surrealist mindfuck based on a favorite writer's work? Robbins and Freeman or Norton and Pitt? GAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! I'm about ready to flip a coin here, but I'll take Fight Club. This is far and away the toughest match for me to pick.

8. Godfather II vs Schindler's List

--As I said, it's all about Al. I'm waiting for Godfather I and II to collide soon. :blink:

[the machine]

1. Pulp Fiction vs One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

-Not a QT fan, even if this is his best

2. Psycho vs 12 Angry Men

-close call, as both are all-time classics

3. Godfather vs Silence Of The Lambs

-not a close call

4. Raiders Of The Lost Ark vs Citizen Kane

-Kane's just too good and too important

5. Empire Strikes Back vs City Of God

-I wish I could vote for neither of these films, because they don't belong here. I want to write in Chinatown or Easy Rider

6. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly vs Seven Samurai

-Kurosawa gets all the originality points, but you've got to love GBU

7. Shawshank Redemption vs Fight Club

-neither of these movies are as good as people seem to believe. Shawshank is boringly shot and relies too much on the story, while Fight Club's story just loses its own structure after the first hour or so.

8. Godfather II vs Schindler's List

- this one's a close call

Cool idea that I wish I had noticed during round one!!

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Second round voting closed. I'm adding up the totals now.

[9 to 5]

Not sure you gave us enough time here Hamster. :ohwell:

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

I'm quite slow when it comes to maths.

[GoGo Yubari]

Yeah, he couldn't figure out for the life of him where he'd left his abacus, so it went on indefinite hiatus.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

I just came back to it every week, counted to see if Seven Samurai had SOMEHOW won on a recount but after five months I've decided to give up on it

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Second Round

The last of the samurai falls to Clint's steely gaze.

Tyler Durden emerges bloody from the tie of the round.

Psycho (25) destroyed 12 Angry Men (4)

The Godfather (17) defeated Silence Of The Lambs (11)

Raiders Of The Lost Ark (13) lost to Citizen Kane (14)

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (20) destroyed Seven Samurai (6)

Shawshank Redemption (14) lost to Fight Club (15)

The Godfather II (12) lost to Schindler's List (13)

Quarter Final Draw:

Pulp Fiction vs Schindler's List

Psycho vs Fight Club

The Godfather vs The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Citizen Kane vs The Empire Strikes Back

Vote away.
