IMDB Top 250 Tournament

[SohoDriver]

Although it has flaws, the IMDB Top 250 is undoubtedly one of the most popular lists compiling the greatest movies of all time amongst both mainstream film fans and cinephiles. I thought it would be fun to devise a tournament where we can determine the ultimate best movie of the IMDB top 250.

Now, of course, to make a tournament bracket you need (unless you have byes) a number of 2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256 etc. So, for this bracket, I included the current IMDB top 250 (as of 16th November 2014) and for the other 6 movies, I added the 6 most recently to be a part of the 250. By the time this tournament ends (it will take several months), the list will have a different order and there will be a few additions and exclusions, but that's not particularly important. This isn't anything official, mainly just for fun.

With 256 participants (movies), I decided upon 64 seeds. For the rest of the films, I used a random generator to place them inside the bracket. As for the seedings, I used the same method as used in Grand Slam Tennis Tournaments, although doubling the method as this contains 256 and those contain 128.

If anyone wants to know the specifics of the seedings and how it was devised, just ask. I'll post a bracket eventually. It's currently only in Word Document form.

IMPORTANT:
To vote on a matchup, it is imperative that you have seen BOTH movies. I can't confirm this so it will be based on trust, so I hope you're all honest!

Each quarter contains 64 movies or 32 matchups, so I shall post one quarter per week, with the aim of completing the opening round by the end of December.

This took me several hours to complete, so I hope everyone is ready to vote!

[SohoDriver]

First Quarter! This will be open for a minimum of 2 weeks, with the possibility of an extension should it be necessary. The second quarter will be posted next week.

Thanks for the votes everyone, keep 'em coming!

31/32 matches already have votes. Just need someone who's seen 'Dil Chahta Hai', or who perhaps is prepared to watch it for the purpose of this contest?

Anyway I'm happy to see the positive response for this tournament and I look forward to continuing on with it!

I saw the former yesterday, and while pleasant, it's WAY too long for a simple love story/soap opera/musical. I'm not a big fan of the latter but it's mildly better for me.

Thanks for watching mark, it wasn't an enviable task.

And keep the votes coming guys! Great showing so far, there are some interesting potential results here.

[mark f]

What about the other Bollywood flicks? :o

What about the other Bollywood flicks? :o

May look to you for help on that front. :p

Keep those votes coming guys!

I find the reaction that Bollywood films get from many people to be kind of weird - especially considering most people have probably never watched more than one or two (if that) in their lives. Sure, they tend to be very light but they are no worse than most of what Hollywood puts out these days. The main difference is that Hollywood is far more likely to put out high quality movies but 90% of what it produces is of a similar standard (or worse) than Bollywood.

Having said that, I agree with what Mark said about that movie - it's pleasant but way too long. I didn't feel like it particularly dragged or anything but if it was an hour and a half shorter it would be a nice little (b)romantic comedy.

I believe that's called damning with faint praise. :D

No reason not to move forward swiftly if votes in one section are drying up. It would be sweet to be able to move onto round 2 by Christmas time, although I'll always make sure there's sufficient voting time for each part.

Here is a review of the votes so far for the first quarter, where the deadline for voting is Sunday 30th November (any ties though, will be carried on until the deadline of Round 1. I don't want to split any matchups with a coin toss). I'll also post the 2nd quarter in my next post, but first the 1st quarter scores so far:

1) Shawshank Redemption vs Dial M for Murder 11-9
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind vs Good Will Hunting 5-7
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre vs The Secret in their Eyes 4-3
Requiem for a Dream vs 58) Cinema Paradiso 7-2
39) Modern Times vs Finding Nemo 8-3
Dil Chahta Hai vs Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels 0-2

I haven't seen a ton of Bollywood movies, but I've enjoyed a few. It helps that I happen to love love love Bollywood style dancing. Maybe most people dismiss them for many of the same reasons they dismiss musicals.

The problem with this tournament is that there are several movies that I really want to vote for, but I haven't seen the movies that they're up against, and I know enough about the other movie to know that I have no interest in the other movie. I may have to find time to watch some extra movies just to finish voting in this round.

Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade vs 5) Pulp Fiction

[SohoDriver]

The problem with this tournament is that there are several movies that I really want to vote for, but I haven't seen the movies that they're up against, and I know enough about the other movie to know that I have no interest in the other movie. I may have to find time to watch some extra movies just to finish voting in this round.

It's true there are some matchups where you know your personal victor even if you haven't seen the opposing film, but I think it's necessary for it to be a requirement for one to have seen both, otherwise the individual element of this tournament would be ruined and the whole thing would be based on popularity and reputation alone.

I agree 100% that nobody should vote in a match-up if they haven't seen both movies in that match-up. That's why I didn't vote in a bunch of the match-ups.

Some of them, either I've only seen one of the movies, and I didn't like it, or I haven't seen either movie so I have no opinion in those match-ups, but there are several match-ups this round that I really, really, really, wanted to vote for a specific movie because it's a favorite movie of mine, but I couldn't vote for it unless I watch the other movie.

This is not really a complaint because I understand that these match-ups are random. It's just an observation.

The Hunt deserved the win. Simply for being a better movie in general, Mads is incredible , the storyline is touching, realist and incredibly well-made.

Btw Pussy Galore and Cricket are the two right people

I get you. Some matchups you know your answer and it's frustrating for it to be ineligible when you don't necessarily want to watch the other film. It's not ideal, but as you've said, both films need to be seen by each participant.

Also, the matches are not totally random. The top 64 films were seeded and the remaining films were placed randomly. Obviously the ordering of the list is dubious, with the IMDB 250 being Nolan centric etc, but I didn't want to digress from the order.

The Battle of Algiers vs Notorious

[Mr. Feeny]

Hope it's ok to include short comments on the choices. Great idea!

1) Shawshank Redemption vs Dial M for Murder - like both equally, going with the underdog
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind vs Good Will Hunting - one of Robin Williams's finest performances
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre vs The Secret in their Eyes
Requiem for a Dream vs 58) Cinema Paradiso - highly disturbing film, but a masterpiece nonetheless
39) Modern Times vs Finding Nemo - entertaining all throughout
Dil Chahta Hai vs Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels - Dil Chahta Hai is imo one of the films that doesn't serve top 250
Persona vs Gone With the Wind - Gone With the Wind would be tough to beat in a literature contest, the film doesn't really live up to it though, Persona is better.
The Avengers vs 28) Leon: the Professional - the relationship between Leon and Mathilda works so well
18) Goodfellas vs Kill Bill Volume 1 - one of the finest ever films about organized crime
Taxi Driver vs Gandhi - Gandhi another film I don't feel belongs in a top 250
La Strada vs A Christmas Story
Barry Lyndon vs 48) Gladiator - perhaps my second favorite Stanley Kubrick film
56) The Lion King vs Annie Hall - though some votes in previous matchups might make it look otherwise, I'm pretty biased towards the animation genre
Singin’ in the Rain vs Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid
The Killing vs The Grapes of Wrath - Easy one, another great Stanley Kubric film and I always found The Grapes of Wrath overrated, both the novel and the film
The Sting vs 15) Forrest Gump - The Sting is great, but I would vote for Forrest Gump in most matchups, my favorite 90s film
9) Return of the King vs Unforgiven - I regard Lord of the Rings as the best films of the 00s (not necessarily my favorites though); living up to the standards set by Tolkien's novels wasn't easy, but LOTR more than lived up to the challenge.
Ikiru vs Hotel Rwanda
Judgement at Nuremberg vs The Maltese Falcon - was shown this film in class in the first year of my law course, needless to say I loved it
Twelve Monkeys vs 50) Alien - Close one. The 90s were such a great sci-fi film decade though, and Twelve Monkeys lived up to the standards
42) The Pianist vs Lagaan: Once Upon a time in India
In the Mood for Love vs The Best Years of our Lives - Entertaining and at the same time demanding deep reflection, a classic
The Bourne Ultimatum vs The Princess Bride - The Bourne Ultimatum has no place in the top 250 imo
The Help vs 17) Two Towers
27) Once Upon a time in the West vs Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - one of those matchups that makes you question the seeding process. I'm generally not a big fan of romantic films, but ESSM delivers it so well
Blade Runner vs Guardians of the Galaxy - easiest choice of the lot; Blade Runner is an iconic film, to my mind still the benchmark for sci-fi films; the ending scene is so incredibly powerful too. Will get my vote in most matchups.
The Truman Show vs Downfall - one of those films who makes you realize how powerful/impactful film is as a medium
The Sixth Sense vs 36) Rear Window - "I see dead people". 1999 was a fitting conclusion to a great decade of film.
60) American Beauty vs The 400 Blows
Ip Man vs Casino - very close, I'm a bit put off by the excessive (needless) violence in Casino
Raging Bull vs The Big Lebowski - toughest choice of the lot, surprised both are unseeed... going with Raging Bull, just barely. One of the best films of the 80s.
Ran vs 6) The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - I'm biased towards most things Japanese, but I do genuinely love Ran. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is good, but definitely overseeded imo.

Didn't watch The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid, Ikiru, Lagaan: Once Upon a time in India, The Help and 400 Blows, so no votes on those matchups.

[SohoDriver]

Nice idea to add comments! As for the seeding, I didn't order them myself. Merely compiled them based on their respective positions in the IMDB 250, so yeah there are some poor positions and unfortunate early matchups but if you're doing a tournament on that list you might as well stick to the list.

Fair enough, I guess the cream will rise to the top naturally anyway. Time to vote for the second quarter.

3) The Godfather Part 2 vs Once Upon a Time in America - The Godfather trilogy is one of my favorites, and the second film is arguably the best
Up vs Wild Strawberries
Network vs Trainspotting - great example of how great satire can be if done right
Underground [1995] vs 59) Paths of Glory - Another Stanley Kubrick masterpiece
33) Psycho vs Das Boot - Don't feel too strongly about this one, but Das Boot is an excellent film and accurate enough about a historical topic that interests me, so it gets the nod
Snatch vs On the Waterfront - One of Marlon Brando's finest performances, a true classic
Strangers on a Train vs Boyhood
Yojimbo vs 32) American History X - an iconic film in its genre, with great impact still to this day
20) Episode IV: A New Hope vs The Hunt - The best Star Wars film imo.
My Neighbour Totoro vs Lawrence of Arabia - I did mention before I was biased both towards animated films and Japanese stuff; in any case, second best animated film of 1988 behind the sublime (but harrow) Grave of the Fireflies
Oldboy vs Into the Wild - fantastic film, with Emily Hirsch delivering a sublime performance
The Gold Rush vs 43) The Green Mile - No contest here, another great 1999 film to cap off an immense decade in film
49) Back to the Future vs Papillon - A personal favorite, I absolute love the Back to Future Trilogy
The Great Escape vs Heat - Another great film exploring World War II
The Battle of Algiers vs Notorious - I like how realistic the characters and the plot are given the setting, excellent film
The Bridge on the River Kwai vs 16) One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest - Surely this one will be a no contest?
12) Interstellar vs Stalker - Is Interstellar even the 12th best film of 2014 let alone ever?
Donnie Darko vs Toy Story 3 - Hmm very tough one, going with Donnie Darko because of its more complex plot and how quotable it is.
Rebecca vs The Seventh Seal
No Country for Old Men vs 53) The Lives of Others - A very powerful film despite the quiet nature of most of it
41) Memento vs Her - This one should be a no contest either
Life of Brian vs Chinatown
The Hustler vs Double Indemnity - Not quite as good as the novel imo, but still a definite classic
Black Cat, White Cat vs 21) Seven Samurai - one of the most influential films ever, easy choice here
25) Silence of the Lambs vs The Big Sleep - an instant classic,
Laputa: Castle in the Sky vs La Dolce Vita
Metropolis vs The King’s Speech - not sure if the 1927 film or the 2001 animated version (probably the former), but Metropolis would win anyway for me
Fanny and Alexander vs 40) Terminator 2: Judgement Day - might be long as hell, but definitely worth a watch
63) Aliens vs Mary and Max - incredibly intense film all throughout
It Happened One Night vs Amores Perros
Die Hard vs Howl’s Moving Castle - superb animated film, I assume Die Hard will win though
Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade vs 5) Pulp Fiction - 1994 was one of the best film years ever, Pulp Fiction is far from my favorite of that year, but it's still an incredible film

Haven't watched Boyhood, Rebecca, Life of Brian and Amores Perros, so no votes on those matchups.

Watched Boyhood today and I'm giving it a vote. No recency bias here, I was genuinely blown away by the film. Quoting my own post because I assume it will be easier for you to keep track/count votes like that.

7) Schindler’s List vs Shutter Island - a typically fantastic Scorsese film, great matchup though - Schindler's List is no slouch, well on the contrary, would get my vote against a lot of other opponents
Beauty and the Beast vs The Thing [1982] - animation bias I guess, didn't enjoy The Thing all that much
A Clockwork Orange vs Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl - really enjoyed the Pirates of the Caribbean films, while A Clockwork Orange might be my least favorite Stanley Kubrick film
Dog Day Afternoon vs 61) Wall-E
35) City Lights vs Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? - a classic, could go far here
8 and a Half vs For a Few Dollars More
Young Frankenstein vs Gran Torino - very close one, neither blew me away, but both good
The Terminator vs 26) It’s a Wonderful Life - a classic that mixes several genres, one of the few Christmas-themed films I've actually enjoyed
24) The Usual Suspects vs Full Metal Jacket - one of the easiest picks of the bunch
Batman Begins vs V for Vendetta - easy too, the Batman films are enjoyable, but quality-wise I find them overrated in general
Warrior vs Like Stars on Earth - fantastic, incredibly touching film
Some Like it Hot vs 46) Dr. Strangelove - one of the best comedy films ever made
51) The Prestige vs Rope
Episode VI: Return of the Jedi vs Jurassic Park - close one, I do regard it as the least strong of the original Star Wars trilogy, but it still gets my nod here
The Apartment vs Festen - a film that really makes us think deeply, perhaps the best I've seen on the consequences of sexual abuse
The Kid vs 10) Fight Club
13)Episode V: Empire Strikes Back vs Vertigo - very close call
Mr Smith Goes to Washington vs A Separation
Stand by Me vs Toy Story - an animation classic!
Swades: We, the People vs 52) The Great Dictator
45) Apocalypse Now vs To Kill a Mockingbird - one of the greatest films ever made and one of the rare cases of a film surpassing the novel (imo)
The Graduate vs Reservoir Dogs - perhaps the best independent film made, it draws inspiration on Stanley Kubrick's The Killing, but leaves its own, very strong and unique mark
All About Eve vs The Wolf of Wall Street
In the Name of the Father vs 22) City of God - best film ever made in my language
29) Life is Beautiful vs Rocky - close one
There Will Be Blood vs X-Men: Days of Future Past - another great film by Paul Thomas Anderson, though not quite up there with Magnolia and Boogie Nights imo
Infernal Affairs vs Rush
Grave of the Fireflies vs 38) Untouchable [2011] - "September 21, 1945: That was the night I died" One of the best ever animated films
64) Citizen Kane vs The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance - sucks that this is a round 1 matchup, love both
Fargo vs Million Dollar Baby - entertaining film, while remaining quite serious/threatening
La Haine vs Scarface [1981] - superb film
Touch of Evil vs 4) The Dark Knight

Haven't watched Dog Day Afternoon, 8 and a Half, Rope, The Kid, A Separation, Swades: We the People, All About Eve, Infernal Affairs and Touch of Evil

[Godoggo]

First quarter closes tomorrow!

Also, if anyone would like to watch 'Like Stars on Earth' and 'Swades: We the People' for the purpose of this thread, it'd be appreciated.

I'll watch Like Stars on Earth tonight. I've seen Warrior so I'll be able to vote.

Anyone want to grab the other? If not, I'll try to grab it tomorrow or the next day.

[SohoDriver]

No massive rush, this section won't be closing for another week at least! But I appreciate it all the same.

[SohoDriver]

The Terminator vs 26) It's a Wonderful Life

[Godoggo]

Warrior vs Like Stars on Earth far too schmaltzy and its two and a half hour running time isn't justified by its content. It did have a few good things going for it that made me like it better than Warrior.

It's on YouTube if you want to watch it.

Singin’ in the Rain vs Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid 14-10
The Killing vs The Grapes of Wrath 5-6
The Sting vs 15) Forrest Gump 8-12
9) Return of the King vs Unforgiven 8-16
Ikiru vs Hotel Rwanda 6-2
Judgement at Nuremberg vs The Maltese Falcon 5-4
Twelve Monkeys vs 50) Alien 9-15
42) The Pianist vs Lagaan: Once Upon a time in India 2-0
In the Mood for Love vs The Best Years of our Lives 2-3
The Bourne Ultimatum vs The Princess Bride 6-7
The Help vs 17) Two Towers 0-8
27) Once Upon a time in the West vs Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 11-9
Blade Runner vs Guardians of the Galaxy 9-1
The Truman Show vs Downfall 5-8
The Sixth Sense vs 36) Rear Window 6-19
60) American Beauty vs The 400 Blows 13-7
Ip Man vs Casino 3-5
Raging Bull vs The Big Lebowski 11-15
Ran vs 6) The Good, The Bad and The Ugly 8-7


So the number one film on the IMDB Top 250 is knocked out in the very first round! It was a close encounter, at one point Shawshank was leading 11-8 if I remember correctly. Sad to see Raging Bull go as well but that was a ridiculously tough first round.

We have one tie though - The Lion King vs Annie Hall at 13 votes each. If anyone could break that tie in the next few days, that would be much appreciated.

2nd and 3rd Quarters are still open for voting and I shall post the 4th quarter in my next post!

Also, from the completed 1st quarter, The Lion King and Annie Hall finished at 13-13, so is anyone able to break that tie?

[seanc]

I'll break it with Annie Hall

[seanc]

I will vote tonight for this round. Sorry I missed the first.

Underground [1995] vs 59) Paths of Glory 1-5
33) Psycho vs Das Boot 6-4
Snatch vs On the Waterfront 4-12
Strangers on a Train vs Boyhood 3-4
Yojimbo vs 32) American History X 9-6

12) Interstellar vs Stalker 1-4
Donnie Darko vs Toy Story 3 9-13

63) Aliens vs Mary and Max 11-4
It Happened One Night vs Amores Perros 4-2
Die Hard vs Howl’s Moving Castle 8-3
Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade vs 5) Pulp Fiction 4-17

No ties in this section so all are confirmed winners. Seanc broke the first quarter tie with Annie Hall, so Annie Hall advances over The Lion King with a score of 14 votes to 13. Personally I'm annoyed about The Big Sleep losing out to Silence of the Lambs here but it was a close contest.

The 3rd and 4th quarters are still open for voting and will close in a few days. In those sections, there is only one matchup that currently has no votes:
Swades: We the People vs. The Great Dictator.

Another match that is currently tied at 4-4 is:
Memories of Murder vs. How to Train Your Dragon

So tie-breakers for those matchups would be appreciated.

I shall post the first half of the 2nd round shortly.

Raul already did so by voting Vertigo. You can still vote in that matchup though of course.

Awe no cricket, you were supposed to vote for Alien.

[christine]

I notice there's quite a few people not voting on Les Diaboliques v Memories of Murder. I understand you might only have watched one of them, but they're both very excellent films, so have a watch next time you're stuck for something to see :)

Is Downfall really that great? It defeated Rear Window in the previous round and is currently beating Blade Runner.

I would take Rear Window ANY day over Downfall, but I've never been a fan of Blade Runner that much, so that's why I see Downfall as being better.

It's a pretty much a perfect movie for me, until the last 20 minutes or so, but still, one of the best WW2 movies and it receives big props from me from being different and focus on Hitler and the last days in the bunker in Berlin. It's not just "another war movie". ;)

Yes, it really is great. But then so are Rear Window and Blade Runner. Tough decisions all round.
