I'll be watching CHimes at Midnight along with Beautiful Boxer so I can vote in those matchups. I must say though, the second of the two does not look like something I'll enjoy.

You probably won't. I nominated it. :p

Where are you getting Chimes at Midnight from? I still have to watch it.

I have a copy of Chimes a friend burned off a VHS, but it won't play in my machine.

The university I work at has it on dvd.

There's one version on YouTube with English subtitles, looks pretty clean to. I'll link to it once I get on a PC, but if you type in "Chimes at Midnight Full Film" in YouTube you should find it.

Here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpTtyLRbQIw) it is but I don't see why you'd need to watch it with English subtitles since it's an adaptation of Shakespeare's Henry IV plays...

I'll play fair this time... haven't seen Nights Of Cabiria, but I have seen On The Waterfront, so I won't vote on that one...

1. The Rocky Horror Picture Show
16. Make Mine Mink

Close call. I liked Make Mine Mink and would be happy to see it go through. I especially liked that there were several female characters who were allowed to be old, eccentric and funny. But Rocky Horror is a fantasy musical with men in suspenders and goth make up.

8. Shaun of the Dead
9. Gregory's Girl

Also very close. Picked Gregory's Girl because it was my nomination and is possibly not as widely known outside of the UK as Shaun.

5. Short Cuts
12. The Dark Knight

4. All Quiet on the Western Front
13. Beautiful Boxer

Genuinely undecided. Both have their good and bad points. Willing to be convinced either way...

3. On the Waterfront
14. Nights of Cabiria

6. Nightwatching
11. Moonlight Mile

I didn't really like either of these. I picked Nightwatching because although it's very flawed it is at least trying to be interesting.

7. Eyes Wide Shut
10. Chimes at Midnight

2. Blood and Black Lace
15. Audition

TDK is my favorite Nolan, but it can't beat Altman at the top of his game.

I felt the same. I hated that these two were paired together because I really liked Make Mine Mink. It would be hard for me to vote against Rocky Horror though.

So far in this whole competition, I've either loved both movies or didn't care for either one. There are a couple of exceptions, one being Blood and Black Lace which I thought was much better than Audition.

Have you seen every one of those movies? You have to have seen both to vote in a matchup. I couldn't even vote in two of the pairings.

yes, please. I can't reiterate the fact that you need to have seen both films. It really is cheap to just vote for a film because you haven't seen the other.
