4. Unforgiven vs. 13. Rope

Dammit! I've seen half of Stalker. Actually, I've seen just over half if it. I know none of this matters, as I still can't vote, but it's annoying me so I'm putting it out there.

Is Night And Fog the Hong Kong film?

[Tyler1]

^ I'm sorry Stalker hasnt done much for you.

And no, i believe Night and Fog is the 30 min Holocaust documentary by Resnais.

[mark f]

1. 2001: A Space Odyssey vs. 16. The Matrix
8. The Third Man vs. 9. Last Man on Earth
5. To Sir With Love vs. 12. Terminator 2
4. Unforgiven vs. 13. Rope
6. Children of Paradise vs. 11. Network
3. Night and Fog vs. 14. Brief Encounter
7. Stalker vs. 10. Breakfast at Tiffany's
2. Z vs. 15. The General (1926)

A couple of these were tough, but I've committed. Night and Fog is the 30-minute documentary about the Holocaust made in 1955.

I don't think Children Of Paradise will win :(

[honeykid]

And nor should it. Even Harry's voted against it. :D

[Harry Lime]

And nor should it. Even Harry's voted against it. :D

It was close.

[ash_is_the_gal]

And nor should it. Even Harry's voted against it. :D

pfft. Harry. what does that clown know?

[Harry Lime]

pfft. Harry. what does that clown know?

Nice try.

[honeykid]

How many times have you seen him choose the mainstream Hollywood film over the foreign one? Maybe it was because it was a classic foreign one?

[ash_is_the_gal]

Nice try.

you know that was just a bit of fun. i'd never try to piss you off.

nope. never.

[Harry Lime]

How many times have you seen him choose the mainstream Hollywood film over the foreign one? Maybe it was because it was a classic foreign one?

honeykid, honeykid, honeykid...I count five:

5. Casablanca vs. 12. Lady Vengeance
3. Chinatown vs. 14. The Double Life of Veronique
4. Citizen Kane vs. 13. La Grande Illusion
2. Z vs. 15. The General
6. Children of Paradise vs. 11. Network

But this is misleading as barely any foreign films were nominated. In fact, I bet I nominated half, which I did on purpose when I realized right away this tournament would quickly become a Hollywood/English language love-fest.

If I had known people would have to watch the films before voting then I would have nominated more, I just didn't think a lot of them would have much chance.

[Godoggo]

Just missed being able to vote for Breakfast at Tiffany's. I finished Stalker like 2 minutes ago. Oh well, my vote wouldn't have made a difference anyway.
