Once we get to the 32 films, the nomination process will start over and people will get to nominate again. There will be 128 films as per the usual with the last 2 tournaments. Thanks to all, and the nominations may now commence!

[The Rodent]

Am I counted in the nominations?...

I'd like to put in a couple of my faves... RoboCop... Young Guns... had a look through the lists and couldn't see them as barred from the comp...

[donniedarko]

This is my first time participating... Sounds fun

First off Acid House, I watched it recently and enjoyed it, would like to know how the rest of you will react to it

And secondly my all time favorite comedy Duck Soup

[rauldc14]

yes you can

[Skepsis93]

Lots of great stuff off limits, but still... decisions decisions...

Ok, I'll go with these first off:

Singin' in the Rain
The Apartment

The films listed in the first post are definitely ALL the ones that are off limits, right? Feels like those two wold have been nominated before somewhere along the line.

They strangely both have never WON a matchup in these tournaments yet.

Rio Bravo
Boogie Nights

[rauldc14]

Saving Private Ryan
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's nest

Cuckoo's Nest is not eligible, so you will need a replacement.

So 1000 Faces needs a replacement, and then we need 4 more people (8 nominees total) for round 2.

[rauldc14]

Oh... the "plastic bag" movie!

[Thursday Next]

Eyes Wide Open
Eyes Wide Shut

[Proximity]

heh, alright. If you're still accepting nominations, I'm gonna go with Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Tried so frickin' hard to hate that movie, but I just couldn't. I denied its quality when asked about it the first time I saw it.

[donniedarko]

Since Proximity only nominated one, does that mean manof1000faces doesn't need to nominate another one?

[rauldc14]

Since Proximity only nominated one, does that mean manof1000faces doesn't need to nominate another one?

that's what we will roll with. so need 2 more peoples nominations (or 4 films)

I almost nominated this for this round. I am glad you did.

Beautiful Boxer

Seen this. Liked it.

[Godoggo]

I had Beautiful Boxer on my millennium list. Obviously, it was never going to make it, but it's a really good movie. Way better than Million Dollar Baby. ;)

[honeykid]

I don't know if there's enough choices left, but if so I'm going with a couple of documentaries.

Z Channel: A Magnificent Obsession and The Kid Stays In The Picture.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I don't know if there's enough choices left, but if so I'm going with a couple of documentaries.

http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luryc1ZOtC1qb4ldxo1_500.gif

[rauldc14]

18 films down for round 4. That leaves 7 more people or 14 films till we have our set.

[rauldc14]

My picks: From Here to Eternity and Rain Man

[Harry Lime]

A Man Escaped
The Gold Rush

[rauldc14]

5 more people, 10 more films :D

[Tyler1]

Night Of The Hunter
The Wages Of Fear

[rauldc14]

4 more peeps, 8 more films. Then I will start to create the brackets.

[Daniel M]

There Will Be Blood
The Royal Tenenbaums

[linespalsy]

Nightwatching
Never Give a Sucker an Even Break

[Guaporense]

Andrei Rublev
Grave of the Fireflies

[Sexy Celebrity]

Come on! Someone nominate two more films.

[syj]

I'm not sure if I'm doing this right, but I think these two are eligible:

Nights of Cabiria
Groundhog Day

Now, to go look more closely at the rules...

[donniedarko]

Well Round 5 I guess

Aight, first a movie I saw very recently and loved dearly The Long Goodbye

Secondly, lets go with Rosemarys Baby another favorite, shocked it hasn't been nominated yet

[honeykid]

Are there any more to nominate? Dustin said he was going to create the brackets after that last round.

[donniedarko]

I think he's gonna put it up while nominations continue? Weren't there 8 brackets last time?

[honeykid]

If that's the case, then I'll nominate two more.

Babe and Dead Man's Shoes.

You're welcome. :)

[Godoggo]

The Sweet Hereafter

My Life as a Dog

[Proximity]

Since Proximity only nominated one, does that mean manof1000faces doesn't need to nominate another one?

I can nominate another if you guys need me to.

*edit*
But it seems like you guys are good for now. Just lemme know!

[Tyler1]

Paris, Texas
Distant Voices, Still Lives

[Skepsis93]

Sweet Smell of Success
Hannah and Her Sisters

[HitchFan97]

Dressed to Kill
Dead Ringers

[wintertriangles]

As It Is In Heaven
Between The Folds

[mark f]

Gremlins
Munich

[HitchFan97]

I've seen 33 of the nominees so far, which is much better than the last tourney :D

[Sexy Celebrity]

I thought nominations were over, but just in case...

Marie Antoinette (2006)
Flatliners

[linespalsy]

At 32 nominations a round, 4 rounds yield 128 films, or 8 sets of 16 movies. Or are we doing more brackets this competition?

[mark f]

It probably stopped at 128.

[donniedarko]

Ya I think I misunderstood, round 4 was probably the last. Where the **** are you rauldc?

[linespalsy]

Too bad, I'd love to see Gremlins grem all over Von Trier's ass.

[rauldc14]

My bad people. Work is a killer. We should stop at 128 because the only other way to do it would lead to 256 films, which is a tad bit too much. I wouldn't want movies to have "byes" so I will cut it off at the 128 movie point.

[rauldc14]

Alas, the final Bracket has been randomized and finalized. I'll give everyone a while to look it over, and start watching some. Heavens knows I have a lot of matchups that I need to see at least 1 film if not 2 from. But we will start somewhat soon (beginning of Feb?) and then we will be ready to rock and roll.

Aww man both my picks against each other. I already know which one I'll choose though

[rauldc14]

there were a few strange coincidences, such as Fargo taking on No Country and a few have their noms against each other as well. Harold and Maude and Saving Private Ryan could be a hell of a match too.

[Godoggo]

A couple of mine need some minor corrections. It 's Ma Vie en Rose not La and Mother without the The. Just want to make sure people can find it. ;)

Also just to clarify, The Maid is the one from Chile (La Nana) not the American one. :cool:

[HitchFan97]

I've seen 28 of these, but can only vote in 3 matches... time to get watching :D

[mark f]

I hope most of these are on DVD. Depending on which versions of each title are intended, I can vote in at least 46 matches as of now.

[rauldc14]

I've sadly only seen 26 of these. Time to get rolling I guess.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Well, open up a thread to cast our votes. I don't wanna wait until February before I can do that. Let the votes come in until the end of February, if that's what you're going for.

[honeykid]

No, make SC wait. **** him. :p

[Harry Lime]

No, make SC wait. **** him. :p
Ha! +1...just because it's so mean.

[linespalsy]

I can vote in 27 of those pairs. All but two of mine are available on dvd (Make Mine Mink and They Might Be Giants are on Netflix instant watch, however). If too many people have trouble finding them I'm willing to nominate new ones (but won't be around until I get home from my honeymoon late next week). By the way, Zodiac Killers is the 1991 Hong Kong film, directed by Ann Hui and starring Andy Lau and Cherie Cheung.

[Sexy Celebrity]

No, make SC wait. **** him. :p

http://www.movieforums.com/community/attachment.php?attachmentid=9871&stc=1&d=1357690005

Whoopi Monster is not pleased.

[rauldc14]

we will be waiting a tad while though, that's for sure. I'd like to see a few of these before anything opens up to voting, and the more people have seen, the better it will be.

[rauldc14]

anywhosits, there's a couple of films that I wish I would have been smart enough to nominate, but I guess I'll have to wait until 2014 for them.

[Thursday Next]

Can the people who nominated these films help out (to make sure I'm renting the right ones)

Acid House - is this The Acid House (1998)?

Night of the Hunter - which year?

[donniedarko]

Can the people who nominated these films help out (to make sure I'm renting the right ones)

Acid House - is this The Acid House (1998)?
It is sorry for the confusion.

While we're at it, which Split Second, and which Heaven Can Wait?

[Thursday Next]

Thanks! It's the only thing I could find with that title so I thought it must be, but I've nearly watched the wrong films before due to misreading/misspelling/similar titles so thought I'd check.

Can't say it appeals all that much (sorry), but as it's up against one of my picks I thought I'd better watch it.

[donniedarko]

Hey that's the same reason I'm watching Eyes Wide Open. Even Though it doesn't look intresting to me at all :highfive:

Maybe it'll suprise me though, I have wanted to get into Isreali moves a little.

[rauldc14]

I know The Night of the Hunter we are looking for is the 50's version.

[rauldc14]

1943 version of Heaven can Wait as well.

[rauldc14]

I think there's only one Split Second, but if not, I'd go assuming its the 1992 version.

[Thursday Next]

Thanks, thought it must be but always best to check, right?

I'm assuming Robocop is the 1987 film.

[The Rodent]

Well, I wouldn't have voted the remake of RoboCop... yes it's the original film.

[honeykid]

It is sorry for the confusion.

While we're at it, which Split Second, and which Heaven Can Wait?
It's the 1992 version, as Raul said.

http://www.stephenjoneseditor.com/media/splitsecond2.jpg
It's bloody wonderful, btw. :D
