[Sinny McGuffins]

Bracket 1

Silence of the Lambs vs. Apocalypse Now
- easy decision, Lambs is overrated and Apocalypse is an epic masterpiece.

Akira vs. The Empire Strikes Back
- again, easy, watched Akira recently, and though it is great, I just love Empire too much.

Bracket 2

To Kill a Mockingbird vs. Dr. Strangelove
- this one was tough, I could easily change my mind next time I watch Mocking Bird, but for now Strangelove has the edge.

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? vs. One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest
- I need to see Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

[Cream]

Silence of the Lambs vs. Apocalypse Now

[Brodinski]

I reckon Apocalypse Now has a good shot at cracking top 4. So far, it got past Night of the Hunter, The Big Lebowski and Silence of the Lambs. Those are bloody good films, and in two of those 3 it wasn't even close.

[Tyler1]

^ Yep. And if Up is doing well against Taxi Driver in the other bracket. :) It will be in the top 10 for sure.

[rauldc14]

Strangelove is on a role, but its competition hasn't been nearly as fierce.

[rauldc14]
