2018 Movie Tournament

[Camo]

Anyone interested in one? I'll run it same as the
Animation Tournament (https://www.movieforums.com/community/showthread.php?t=47765) except i'll expand it to 128. If anyone is i'll take two nominations from everyone. I'll stop taking nominations once we hit 128 and the first round will have four weeks of 16 matches. You can only vote in a match if you have seen both but you've got a week to watch any you haven't seen.

You don't have to watch anything if you don't want to. Just want to make that clear so people don't think they're signing a contract or something, got a couple of weird apology PM's when i was running the Animation one.

Ongoing Matches:

12 Angry Men 5 vs SE7EN 7
Amadeus 2 vs Wait Until Dark 3

Ties (Please vote in these matches if you've seen both):

La Bête Humaine (1938)
Way Out West (1937)

Thanks mate. Way Out West is something i'm particularly interested in because i haven't heard of it on my current 1930's journey.

It would be great if i get to see every Renoir film, was more than aware of that but you've now gave me an extra reason to see it if this happens of course.

Soo....How does this work? I've never heard of it before.

Just nominate any 2 films, you'll get to nominate more later if you want. Once i have 128 i'll randomize them and set up a 64 match first round. I'll do 16 matches at a time, and we'll just keep going on until one film remains. You can only vote in a match if you've seen both films, if you want to watch something to vote you'll have some time but you don't have to watch anything for this if you don't want to.

Here's an Animated Film Tournament i ran once, same thing except it was a 64 film tournament instead of 128 - https://www.movieforums.com/community/showthread.php?t=47765

[HashtagBrownies]

The Blair Witch Project
Requiem For a Dream

[Camo]

That's 26 so far. If anyone that has nominated wants two more go ahead, and if you're nominating for the first time you can take four right now. I added Los Olvidados and Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon.

[HashtagBrownies]

Do we vote from the pool of films on the first page or our own nominations?

[Camo]

Do we vote from the pool of films on the first page or our own nominations?

No, pick anything other than the films on the first page. I need 128 different films.

Edit: When i said voting i meant nominating, edited it now.

I love 'A Bittersweet Life'. Great nomination.

I've seen 22/36.

[Thursday Next]

Miller's Crossing (1990)
Only Lovers Left Alive (2013)

[Mr Minio]

You can nominate 4 if you want.

Wait, if I nominate, does it mean I have to participate in it? If not, then here I go:

Lolita Vibrator Torture (1987) :cage:
Eureka (2000)
Our Hitler: A Film From Germany (1977)
I Accuse (1919)

I wanted to nominate Has the Film Already Started?, but I'm pretty sure most people couldn't find it.

[Camo]

Lolita Vibrator Torture will probably win since no one else has seen it/will watch it. You don't have to participate if you don't want to, don't see the point in nominating if you aren't though.

[Siddon]

The River (1951)
Woman in the Dunes (1964)

[Camo]

We're a third of the way there, will probably start asking for two more from those who have nominated soon if they want them.

[Mr Minio]

You don't have to participate if you don't want to, don't see the point in nominating if you aren't though. I don't even know the rules. Am I supposed to kill other people who nominated their films in order to win?

[Camo]

I don't even know the rules. Am I supposed to kill other people who nominated their films in order to win?

Yes. Or.. you just vote for the winner in each match. You can only vote if you've seen both films but you don't have to vote on each match. It's the same thing as the Song Tournaments.

It's a 128 film tournament i'll be putting up 16 matches at once. They'll stay up for about a week, if anyone wants to watch some of the films they haven't seen during that time to vote they can but they don't have to.

I might watch this again for the tournament. I liked it quite a bit when i did but it was late at night and i was tired, it's a crazy film so i found myself lost at times. Think i could love it if i watch it again in the right frame of mind.

Want to get this started soon as it will take around three months overall. I added Carlos and The 'Burbs.

Not my type of 80's Slasher, to much of cheap Grindhouse feel to it. I like my slashers to be more gallo inspired like Slaughter High (1986), Terror Train(1980). My Bloody Valentine (1981) and the Prowler (1981).

Quite clearly I am completely right with my voting :D

Quite clearly I am completely right with my voting :D[/CENTER]

I'll allow it on the grounds of the Deep Red vote but the Macgruber vote is bringing the science behind this claim into question.

[Chypmunk]

I'll allow it on the grounds of the Deep Red vote but the Macgruber vote is bringing the science behind this claim into question.
It was close, both Macgruber and Possession make me laugh a little but ultimately I went with the one where that was clearly intentional :)

[Camo]

These are the only matches without a vote so far:

Our Hitler: A Film From Germany (1977) vs Safe (1995)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) vs Eureka (2000)
Mephisto (1981) vs The Colour Purple
Death and the Maiden (1994) vs Los Olvidados
Being John Malkovich vs Mystery Team (2009)
A Man Called Horse vs The Last Detail (1973)

If the Our Hitler match doesn't get any votes i'll probably just kick that out as i just realized it's nearly 8 hours long and it's unreasonable to expect anyone to watch that within the week the set is supposed to be up. I'm not putting up with films that completely halt the tournament as that ruined one of these i ran before. I might watch Eureka and Death and the Maiden if i get the chance.

Carlos vs Fried Green Tomatoes


Did you watch the 5 hour or 3 hour version of Carlos, Ed? Curious because i haven't seen the 3 hour one.

[GrantD2]

You've seen Christmas Evil?

Yep. I saw it a couple of years ago at a friend's house. Wasn't terrible or anything, but it shouldn't come as a shock that I'd take No Country for Old Men over it.

[Camo]

Christmas Evil sounds interesting mostly because i kinda love Silent Night, Deadly Night. It's a horrible film but it's also hilarious. From the blurb on Letterboxd they have pretty much the same premise except the source for their nervous breakdowns are vastly different.

I'm surprised that so many people have apparently seen it here, but I have to wonder if so many people have seen it because it's against No Country. But, yeah, I haven't seen SNDN. Christmas Evil is an odd film, but I think it's actually a good film, not in a funny cause it's terrible way.

Silent Night, Deadly Night is definitely bad but it's fun. I mean this is one of the first scenes with the kids grandad :D

Think the series is most known now for this part in the second one which is amazing:

I had never heard of it, looked it up and saw the name William Wyler. Sold.

[Chypmunk]

I'll try and get watches of both Christmas Evil and Dodsworth in this week so I can vote in those two matches as well, herself is home all week but has a report to finish up so I am hopeful that I'll have both space and time to do so.

This is the original, I didn't see the original

I suck, sorry camo!! :(:(

and thanks cricket for the catch!

[edarsenal]

Did you watch the 5 hour or 3 hour version of Carlos, Ed? Curious because i haven't seen the 3 hour one.

The 3 hour version. Been on the fence about whether seeing the 5 hour. Though there are moments where I feel like I had to re-focus, as it were. Never checked out the episode arrangement

See the original, it's better than the remake! (although still not as good as Cloud Atlas...)

I was disappointed in the remake. Not that I usually have high hopes for pointless remakes, but it did have Chiwetel in it.

It's a troubled youth film if those interest you.

Round 1, Set 1

Clue (1985) vs The Lives of Others (2006)-Was disappointed in the second but didn't care for Clue at all.

Dodsworth (1936) vs The Piano Teacher (2001)-Both good movies that I watched for this tournament. Close call.

Our Hitler: A Film From Germany (1977) vs Safe (1995)-Haven't seen either.

Don’t Look Now (1973) vs Deep Red-Didn't like Deep Red.

No Country for Old Men vs Christmas Evil (1980)-I liked Christmas Evil a lot but it's outmatched here.

Possession vs MacGruber (2010)-No contest, although MacGruber was amusing.

The Secret in their eyes (2009) vs Cloud Atlas (2012)-I'm not quite interested in Cloud Atlas enough to spend almost 3 hours watching it. I think the first is a masterpiece.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) vs Eureka (2000)-Like the first, haven't seen the second.

Carlos vs Fried Green Tomatoes-Haven't seen either but I think I might like both.

West Side Story (1961) vs The Conversation (1974)-Was very disappointed in The Conversation but I want to try it again. I'll never like WSS.

Mephisto (1981) vs The Colour Purple-Havents seen the first and I like the second a lot.

Death and the Maiden (1994) vs Los Olvidados-Love both.

[REC] vs Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon-I liked [REC] ok and haven't seen the other.

Being John Malkovich vs Mystery Team (2009)-Like the first a lot and haven't seen the other.

Popeye (1980) vs The Mummy (1959)-One I liked and one I didn't. It's been a long time for both.

A Man Called Horse vs The Last Detail (1973))-Love the second and haven't seen the first.

[Camo]

Closing this now since it's the 11th here, i'll get the second set up shortly. Like i said i'm just kicking Our Hitler out as it's 8 hours long and i don't want a film either halting the tournament or winning on one person voting for it. The other ties i'll keep in the first post until the end of the first round or until they are hopefully broken. WIll most likely watch Fried Green Tomatoes soon myself.

Apologies to Ms. M, i personally wasn't a big fan of Fried Green Tomatoes. There was nothing wrong with it, it was a nice little film with some good performances it just isn't the type of film i'm that into that much anymore and i personally found it a little too long. Glad i gave it a shot as i rarely try films like that anymore. Carlos is one of my favourite films which makes this an easy decision.

Carlos vs Fried Green Tomatoes

Two ties remaining, should be easy to find one for the Conversation vs WSS one, i may have to watch A Man Called Horse myself to sort the other out.

Thanks for making such an effort for the tournament Chyp :up:
Ha, you might not be thanking me if all I've done is create more eventual ties :D Besides, I've been meaning to get round to Woman In The Dunes and Tetsuo for quite some time, loved the Three Colours trilogy so was easily up for something else from Kieslowski and Equus has a nekked Jenny A of legal age in it which is never a hardship to view so none of them were exactly a chore :)

Full disclosure: I have seen Equus before but not for some time and really appreciated the refresher :randy:

I've only watched three and i'm the host.
It's not a competition in terms of who can view most though and having shipped herself to the UK until Thurs evening I needed something to pass the time today ;)

[Camo]

loved the Three Colours trilogy so was easily up for something else from Kieslowski

Which film was from Kieslowski? Blanking on that for some reason.

[gbgoodies]

Two ties remaining, should be easy to find one for the Conversation vs WSS one, i may have to watch A Man Called Horse myself to sort the other out.


I didn't join this tournament, but if you still need a tiebreaker for the Conversation vs WSS match:

West Side Story (1961) vs The Conversation (1974)


I haven't seen The Last Detail (1973), so I can't help you with the other tie.

Thanks. I haven't seen many of the movies nominated in this tournament, so that's the only match I can vote for in the first set anyway.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom vs Leaving Las Vegas (1995)
Interstellar (2014) vs Sweet Smell of Success

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom vs Leaving Las Vegas (1995)

Lolita Vibrator Torture (1987) vs Miller's Crossing (1990) You haven't seen the former? I'm disappointed in you!!!

[Camo]

Thanks a lot for the tiebreaker gbg :up: That leaves only The Last Detail vs Man Called Horse. If need be i'll watch the latter to break it but it probably won't be towards the end of this set.

And yeah like jj said anyone can vote. Just make sure you only vote if you have seen both matches though.

[Camo]

Fixed a few scores. It's no big deal just a small mistake.

[CaptainT]

Camo Do you not like interstellar? :p

I thought that it was supposed to have three votes :suspicious:

;)

I haven't seen Interstellar. It was supposed to be 2 not 3. Like i said there was a misunderstanding with voting happening in matches that members hadn't seen both nominees. Was to change it to 2 and i went to 1 by mistake,

I misinterpreted your last post. I wasn't trying to be mean or anything, I was just trying to help and make a joke. :)

[edarsenal]

That leaves only The Last Detail vs Man Called Horse. If need be i'll watch the latter to break it but it probably won't be towards the end of this set.

I'm curious to see what you think of A Man Called Horse, though I do think Last Detail is something you'd enjoy more between the two

[Camo]

A Man Called Horse sounds interesting, have to see more Westerns. Was it you that nominated it?

I do like The Last Detail a lot.

I do believe so.
And yeah, you'll REALLY have to like Horse to beat Detail. But I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy it all the same.

Round 1, Set 2

Requiem For a Dream vs The Day The Earth Caught Fire (1961)-I'm a fan of Requiem and haven't seen the other.

Tetsuo, the Iron Man vs United 93 (2006)-I'm glad to have watched Tetsuo. I just like the other movie more.

Only Lovers Left Alive (2013) vs After Hours-Enjoyed the first but an easy call for me.

Three Monkeys (2008) vs Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)-Only seen Fury Road, which I did not like.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom vs Leaving Las Vegas (1995)-Temple of Doom is good, but my least favorite of the original trilogy. LLV is probably my favorite of the tournament and could easily be in my top 10.

Song For A Raggy Boy (2003) vs Good Will Hunting-Love the second and haven't seen the first.

Interstellar (2014) vs Sweet Smell of Success-The second is good but an easy call for me.

Lolita Vibrator Torture (1987) vs Miller's Crossing (1990)-Thanks to those who helped me with links to the first; they just didn't work for me. I'll get to see it one day. I like Miller's Crossing but don't love it.

Now, Voyager vs Amadeus-Didn't like Amadeus.

Equus (1977) vs Portrait of Jennie (1948)-Like both.

Harvey (1950) vs The Killers (1946)-Like both.

Way Out West vs Woman in the Dunes (1964)-Easy call.

Blue Valentine (2010) vs The Virgin Spring-Tough match, love both.

Blind Chance vs Southern Comfort-Love the second.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016) vs 4:44 Last Day on Earth (2011)-Liked the first.

Pan's Labyrinth (2006) vs Wrong Side Up (P. Zelenka, 2005)-Liked the first.

[GrantD2]

Have you actually seen all of those? You don't have several of them crossed off your lists.

I don't really keep up with my lists here (although I guess I should go through all of them and actually mark off all of the films I've seen), and my review thread only has films listed that I've watched since I started keeping track of ratings.

Anyway, yeah, I've seen 'em.

Not looking like I can vote in too many matches in this set again but I'll cast a slightly less tired eye over Round 3 in the morning and see if perchance it looks any rosier lol .... as well as seeing what I might be able to find and fit into my schedule so as to allow a slightly higher number of votes from myself. The good news is I am 0% married for the next 7 days so am even less constrained than normal :)

[Okay]

Only Lovers Left Alive (2013) 3 vs After Hours 3

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly vs Sideways
I hate both of these, but Sideways is shorter.

Big Fish vs Dances With Wolves

It would've broken my heart if you two had voted the other way.

[Camo]

My excuse is that wolves are my favourite animals after tigers and i'd like to dance with them.

As much as i love Kanye i'm not that into Big Fish:

Wolves ARE the best!! Favorite for me as well and that is an excellent image!!
Put a smile on my face!

[Camo]

Also a big fan of foxes.

https://i.imgur.com/oO3Njy0.jpg

So much that when i was a kid i used to try and chase after dirty wild foxes when i was a kid. My one was paranoid one would attack me and give me rabies :laugh: Like i was ever going to catch a fox, gosh mum.

[edarsenal]

we have red foxes around here, though I've never been lucky enough to see one. That would be pretty cool.

[Camo]

we have red foxes around here, though I've never been lucky enough to see one. That would be pretty cool.

I see them pretty frequently here at night, although they quickly disappear usually. So fast and majestic, love them. Few weeks ago i looked out my window at like 1AM and saw four of them nonchalantly walking together. As much as i like them that would definitely have made me nervous haha.

Yeah, I love those kind of moments. We have a lot of deer roaming the neighborhoods and a lot of late nights or rainy days you can see them. Actually had one visit our backyard late November. Along with hawks always circling or perching, (saw one snatch up a gray squirrel outside my window a few years back) we get the usual raccoons, hedgehogs, possums and skunks. The occasional garter snake now and again out in the woods. I've heard owls out and about but never seen them.
I remember there being sightings of mountain lions some 10-15 yrs ago, but for such creatures like bear and elk you have to go to the northern tip of Michigan.
Don't know what I'd do if I saw a bear besides be too terrified to move lol

Sadly, no wolves, but there a federal reserve in, I believe either Indiana or Illinois and there are packs in Minnesota, I believe. Keep planning on visiting the reserve and haven't yet.

Two more I can vote in.....
The Bad and the Beautiful vs The Departed
Funny Games (1997) vs City Girl

That's me done for this round I think, would've liked to find Hombre and Ordinary People (1980) so I could vote in those matches as well but alas it wasn't to be.

Round 1, Set 3


The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly vs Sideways
Big Fish vs Dances With Wolves

[rauldc14]

Sideways is the only one I can vote for.

[Camo]

Watching Interstellar today. I'm claiming the tiebreaker vote haha, don't want to watch a nearly three hour film then see someone else has already broke it. Hope it's good.

[Mr Minio]

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly vs Sideways
I hate both of these, but Sideways is shorter. Now I know why I love so many MoFo girls, but not you!

[Camo]

OMG, it's impossible to accept McConaughey in this role and the dialogue is hideous. Hopefully it gets better once we go to space.

[Camo]

Interstellar ended up pretty good after they left those awkward early scenes behind. Still an easy decision.

Sweet Smell of Success vs Interstellar

Two ties left.

[Miss Vicky]

Now I know why I love so many MoFo girls, but not you!

I'm hurt. Truly. :rolleyes:

[Mr Minio]

I'm hurt. Truly. :rolleyes: You're not playful at all. GOOBYE.

[edarsenal]

After reading Cricket's review of House of Tolerance, I realized I ACTUALLY saw this a year or so ago. VERY good movie but it's QUITE the range for going against Army of Darkness, ya know? The cerebral vs the silly. They kinda stand alone in their own domains.
And since Tolerance is doing just fine at 2 to 0, no need to argue with myself on which to vote for. lol

[Thursday Next]

28 Days Later v Ordinary People

[cricket]

Round 1, Set 3

The Sword of Doom vs Rope (1948)-I wasn't crazy about Rope when I last saw it. The first would have a good chance in this round if more people watched it.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly vs Sideways-The first is brilliant but I don't enjoy it as much as I used to. I love Sideways.

I Accuse (1919) vs Little Shop of Horrors (1986)-Saw the second once at the movies and thought it was ok. The first sounds good but I don't have the time to watch that long of a movie right now.

Children of Paradise vs La Bête Humaine-I liked the second but the first is one of the best movies I've seen.

Let the Right One In (2008) vs Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958)-Like both, but neither as much as I want to.

Big Fish vs Dances With Wolves-Saw the second recently and loved it. I keep thinking I want to see Big Fish, but I remembered that my wife and I started it but shut it off.

The Undying Monster (1942) vs Evil Dead Trap-I've probably seen the first but I don't remember.

The River (1951) vs Predator (1987)-Watched The River for the 50's countdown and didn't care for it. Predator starts to drag for me near the end but most of it is awesome.

The Abominable Snowman (1957) vs The 'Burbs-I think I've seen the first years ago. I haven't seen The 'Burbs.

The Bad and the Beautiful vs The Departed-I've never thought of The Departed as a great movie but it's great for me. I very much enjoyed the first movie.

A Bittersweet Life vs Hombre (1967)-It was a treat watching both of these for this tournament.

28 Days Later (2002) vs Ordinary People (1980)-An easy call even if it's a pretty good match.

Once Were Warriors (1994) vs Lady Snowblood (1973)-Close call. The first movie is one of the best about domestic violence.

Mona Lisa vs Bridget Jones's Diary-Love the first, like the second.

House of Tolerance vs Army of Darkness-Never liked Army of Darkness.

Funny Games (1997) vs City Girl-The first is more my style but I think City Girl is better.

[Camo]

Gonna close this a day early because Cricket sorted a few ties and i don't want to give them the chance to be retied as we're now going onto the final set. There's four ties that will have to be sorted before we move onto Round 2, i've asked someone that's seen alot of films to break them if they can, hopefully they will help out. Will get the final set up shortly.

The Sword of Doom 1 vs Rope (1948) 2
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly 6 vs Sideways 4
I Accuse (1919) 0 vs Little Shop of Horrors (1986) 2
Children of Paradise 4 vs La Bête Humaine 0
