View Full Version : 2016 MoFo Mega Movie Tournament

05-27-16, 11:07 PM
The mega style movie tournament is back after garnering enough interest from all of you guys. The format will remain the same: an 128 movie tournament. However due to some people expressing more of an interest in a reshuffling of match ups after each round, there will NOT be designated brackets this go around.
Instead, I will post 8 matchups at a time, giving each round a month to vote. There will be overlapping as in previous tournaments (quite more than usual).
I'm only going to disqualify previous winners from being in this tournament which is:
2011- 2001: A Space Odyssey
2012- Le Cercle Rouge
2013- There Will Be Blood
A lot of information, I know.
The nomination process can already begin. Each person can nominate two films until we reach 32. Once 32 films is reached, people can have two nominations, so on and so on.
Who will be the champion in 2014? We will find out.
That's the post from Raul to start out the last movie tournament, and all the same rules apply.
Here are the movies you can't nominate:
2011: 2001: A Space Odyssey
2012: Le Cercle Rouge
2013: There Will Be Blood
2014: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

How many are you going for JJ? 64? 128?
an 128 movie tournament.
and all the same rules apply.
I guess it's a 128
This is only the second tournament I have joined in 3 years.
I think i only joined the 2014 tournament. And i think i actually nominated The Master for that one, copycat :p.
It annoys me more than it should that there is no 2015 winner.
I joined the director debut tournament. That one was fun. I think I like the specialized stuff more. Honestly though I started to get annoyed because we were only supposed to vote if we had seen both and people weren't. It annoys me when people can't be honest with simple things, even if it's for fun. I shouldn't be that way but can't help it.

Yeah it bothers me too. On the other side of the coin, i remember Werckmeister Harmonies got very far in a tournament (it may have even won) because not enough people had seen it to vote :laugh:
La Dolce Vita
The Lives of Others
This is only the second tournament I have joined in 3 years.
This is my first in almost 9 years. Im pretty sure everyones seen my picks though. Were supposed to watch all of these selected?

The one we did you had to see both in a bracket to vote on that particular match-up. Not sure if all of them are like that.

Would anyone be interested in a TV version of this? I would run it. Not sure if it would work as well since some people here don't watch as much TV as they do movies, but it could be smaller if need be maybe 64?
I'll start a thread if a few are interested.

How much of the TV show would you have to watch in order to be able to vote?
I was thinking about that. Don't know maybe 5 episodes? I think a season especially of the 20+ episode shows or the hour long 13 episode ones is a bit too much to ask someone to watch if they aren't enjoying it. Everyone taking part can give their view on that and we'll come to a decision.
I'm not JJ but you are allowed 8 movies like everybody else Destiny.
8?! Ill think of 2 more....
Your two and Destiny's 8 would take us to 114.
Out Of Sight (1998)
Pineapple Express (2008)
I'm not JJ but you are allowed 8 movies like everybody else Destiny.
That's cool. You know I've always loved ya, kid. So, I pick eight movies from that list in the first post? I only had two picked out, so I obviously didn't read enough of the thread. One wild guess, and you know that my two choices were Halloween and The Thing. I mean, duh! ;)
OK, I shall dwell, or just see how many of my top ten are on that list . . .
You pick eight movies that are not on the list. We are aiming for an 128 movie tournament so we are only nominating right now.

Not 100% there aren't any repeats but there are only one or two if any.
Actually Destiny: Sean has already nominated Rear Window you will have to pick something else. Sorry there is over 100 films and i just now noticed that by quickly looking over it.
I don't know if I scrolled too fast, but is Night of the Living Dead on there?
It isn't. We are already at 128 if you want it in i'll take one of mine out. That would give me and you seven each.

Actually, that would give me eight, and you only seven. That's OK. I thought I was suppose to choose another.
Anyway i have to go. When JJ comes on and looks over them if there are no double picks then take away The Maltese Falcon from me and add The Night of the Living Dead for Destiny.

No, that's OK. Thanks anyway, kiddo.

Its cool i just remembered i nominated The Maltese Falcon in the last tournament and i really like The Night of the Living Dead. More than likely some other movie has been picked more than once anyway.

Well, if you are sure. It's funny, but I'm now watching Fright Night, and thinking how that would be a cool choice, too. I'm awful. I could do this all week long, and then some. No worries. Night of the Living Dead it is.
Love Fright Night too man. When i realized i nominated The Maltese Falcon last tournament i thought about nominating The Burbs :D.
Oh, that's a great one, too. I also love him in The Money Pit. I've been watching the both of those lately. Actually, years ago (Very early 90's) when I first bought The Burbs on VHS, I watched it so damn much, it turned into static. No *****! :p

I'll get this going in the next few days. I've been pretty busy doing summer classes, so expect this to be slower than a Sexy tournament. I'll try to get all those noms together, make sure there aren't any dupes, and get them in a bracket tomorrow-ish. At the latest, hopefully, this tournament will be up and running by Thursday.
EDIT: I really appreciate all the help, Camo! :up:

Just a couple of questions to Raul or anybody else who feels inclined to offer an opinion:
How many match-ups should be put at once? and how long should the match-ups be left up before moving to the next round?

I read through the copied part of my original post, and the rule Raul used was a month for each round to give people a chance to see everything if they want to. I might lower that to either two or three weeks though. It just depends on feedback.

Well, depending on how many people are involved, and if they think this is alright to do, maybe you can take a vote. Make it something like a two, three, or four week run with each set. Personally, I'd either say two or three weeks. I'm not sure which I'd pick, just yet. Anyways, just sayin'.

4. I haven't seen The Thing
What on Earth are you waiting for? We just showed it to our eight and a half year old neighbor. His mother said it was OK. He freaking loved it. Get to it, son.
p.s. You voted against my movies, dude. Halloween and Jaws. Halloween has always been, and will always be, my number one favorite. That is why I will always consider it my nomination. Even when other people beat me to it. :)
Camo, Topsy, and Nope, those are pretty good choices. Cricket and Derek, way to f@ckin' go! Tongo, um yeah, sorry about that. ;)
I do love The Fly, a lot. I'm sure I'll vote for that movie, more so than not. I'll have to go see who nominated it.

If you plan on watching movies in order to vote for some of these matches that you missed on your initial vote, please don't go back and edit your original post. Instead just vote for the matches in their own post, because it makes things easier on me. I try to stay on top of the scores, so if you edit a previous post, I might miss the vote. If I ever fall behind and you post your new votes and edit your previous votes, that might lead to me counting both votes. So please just put new votes in their own posts. Thanks, everybody. :up:

Yeah it is just the score. Moneyball never had a chance against Jaws. I've not seen Dark City yet but The Fly was my nomination so i'm fine with that winning obviously.
Going to watch Last of the Mohicans after i watch Close Up i think so i can vote in that match. Then i might finally watch Fury Road.
Moneyball and Dark City lost? No! Whyyyyyyyy... :crying:
I even voted against Moneyball, and it was my pick. It went up against a movie in my top ten, sigh

Halloweens a great movie, but Mohicans is a great epic. It would have helped greatly if youd seen it 20 years ago cause it seems slow now compared to films today.

I don't think that was the case. Pretty sure I just screwed up or somebody deleted a post.

Round 1
1. Dark City (1998; Alex Proyas) vs The Fly (1986; David Cronenberg)
2. The Last of the Mohicans (1992; Michael Mann) vs Halloween (1978; John Carpenter)
4. The Thing (1982; John Carpenter) vs Up (2009; Pete Docter, Bob Peterson)

Yes, Mohicans, YES! You da man Fab! :)
Cmon guys vote Mohicans, and give Carpenter The Thing vote over Up instead. The Thing was waaaaaaaaaaaay better an overall film than Up. Way better.
JJ you didn't include Takens vote in your last count. Or was that because it had 0?

there's no way in hell that Last Of The Mohicans is better than Halloween but ok :p

Well it is better. I mean Halloween is a classic horror/slasher flick with original sound and tone, just money. Mohicans has all those attributes though with a larger production, better story, and better actors too. Halloween is simply outclassed by Last Of The Mohicans. :)

Thanks though.

I'm going to call Thing/Up, Taken/Big Country, and Moneyball/Jaws now. Those are probably insurmountable deficits, but the rest of the matches are really close. We have two ties, two 1-point matches, and a match separated by 2 votes.

Just don't sit too close to the screen when you do.

I like all 3 of your nominations in this round, especially Mohicans and Moneyball.
Moneyball... My kind of "realistic" movie. Why must you be so cruel world?

Dude, if you havent seen it watch The Big Short. Tons of stars, true story, and in the same vein of storytelling as Moneyball.

Surprised you like Moneyball so much Zotis. Not that it is bad or anything, just doesn't seem like your kind of movie. i'm always wrong with what i think of others tastes though so just ignore me.

Are you kidding me? I love all of that director's movies. Capote is great, and he did Foxcatcher which was my favorite movie from 2014. His movies are so realistic and I always harp on how I can't stand how unrealistic Hollywood movies are.

A friend keeps insisting I watch it too. I will at some point.

I had to betray my own pick of Moneyball to vote JAWS, which is in my top ten. All movies in everyones top ten shouldnt be allowed in tournaments to avoid further decisionmaking crisis's. Has there been a top ten tournament? Probably, or someone will now make one.
Capote is great
It really is.
Haven't seen Foxcatcher, been thinking about watching it soon since Netflix released a documentary about the same events called Team Foxcatcher. Think it would be better watching the movie first so my view isn't coloured by what actually happened, i know that some people had a problem with how certain characters were portrayed and that is the exact sort of thing that annoys me about some very good movies even though it shouldn't and i don't want it to.
Foxcatcher is his best movie by a long shot. It's so beautifully shot and even more realistic. You have to watch it if you liked his other movies.
Wasn't crazy about Moneyball to be honest. I think it was well made and i understand why people love it, but it wasn't something i loved myself. Capote is excellent though definitely. Haven't seen or heard of The Cruise until i looked up Bennett Miller just now.
I haven't seen The Cruise either actually.
I liked Moneyball for the acting and realism mostly.
Sounds pretty interesting actually. I'm sure i've heard of some acclaimed documentary about a bus tour guide.
Moneyball made me realize that Jonah Hill has a chance of making a living even without being the awkward and fat funny guy in comedy movies. Good performance.
I know I'll regret this - and you probably will too.

After Mark's votes, we have a tie: Videodrome vs. Fail-Safe. There is still time to get to the polls.
The Fly and Naked are safe for now. Hope Videodrome goes through even though i haven't seen Fail-Safe.
