View Full Version : March Movie Madness


rauldc14
03-01-10, 02:29 PM
In the spirit of March Madness, I'll be making a movie bracket (128 movies) in which movies go head to head. Then we will vote on which movie is better and after a certain period of time the movie with the most votes will win.

I'll probably start it in a couple of days, but just getting the warning out there:).

The only criteria I'm using is it will be movies that are highly acclaimed (IMDB top 250, best picture winners, AFI's 100 movies....100 years) with a few of my favorites that aren't on those lists sprinkled in.

Hopefully everyone will enjoy:D

Moving on so far:

Wizard of Oz
Gone with the Wind

City Lights
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
