2016 MoFo Mega Movie Tournament

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

an 128 movie tournament.

and all the same rules apply.

I guess it's a 128

Re: 2016 MoFo Mega Movie Tournament

This is only the second tournament I have joined in 3 years.

Re: 2016 MoFo Mega Movie Tournament

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.

Re: 2016 MoFo Mega Movie Tournament

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.

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.

Re: 2016 MoFo Mega Movie Tournament

I wonder if someone will say Spotlight. I still havent seen it, but that would force me to watch it sooner. Then I can see for myself if it truly was a better picture than The Revenant. (Im guessing Revenant got boned, Im smelling a boning)

Oh great. You picked a movie in my top ten. How the hell can I vote my pick over that?! :facepalm:

It's not a requirement to see everything. Just if you vote in that matchup you need to see both films.

Thanks to Camo, I have it up on the first post.

Re: 2016 MoFo Mega Movie Tournament

Once we get another person to nominate two more films, we can get our third round of picks.

And if any of y'all see any movie that somehow gets nominated twice without anybody noticing, please let me know. It's not easy to keep up with all these movies.

Re: 2016 MoFo Mega Movie Tournament

The Lion In Winter (1968)

Re: 2016 MoFo Mega Movie Tournament

Re: 2016 MoFo Mega Movie Tournament

Room At the Top (1959)

Planning on watching that soon for the 50's list.

Re: 2016 MoFo Mega Movie Tournament

In the first post there are 68 films so we should be at 74 at least. Not sure which ones aren't in that post.

It looks like we're allowed to add a third set now, and this tournament is suffering from a lack of musicals, so here are my next two movies:

Oklahoma! (1955)
Damn Yankees! (1958)

Re: 2016 MoFo Mega Movie Tournament

third set:
irreversible
hero (2004)

Re: 2016 MoFo Mega Movie Tournament

There should be 92 in the first post now. I don't know if any are missing, but I did just update that first post with the movies after your post.

Re: 2016 MoFo Mega Movie Tournament

The Princess Bride
Touch of Evil

I can make two more picks, right?

Yeah, once you pick two more everybody gets two more. So, really you get four more now.

Re: 2016 MoFo Mega Movie Tournament

Fourth Set:
Citizen Kane (1941)
Dr. Strangelove

Re: 2016 MoFo Mega Movie Tournament

The Fly
Before Midnight

Re: 2016 MoFo Mega Movie Tournament

28 left, my picks were the 100th.

An Affair to Remember (1957)
Death and the Maiden (1994)

Re: 2016 MoFo Mega Movie Tournament

M (1931)
Fail-safe (1964)

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.

Re: 2016 MoFo Mega Movie Tournament

How much of the TV show would you have to watch in order to be able to vote?

Re: 2016 MoFo Mega Movie Tournament

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.

Re: 2016 MoFo Mega Movie Tournament

May I vote on this, JJ?

Re: 2016 MoFo Mega Movie Tournament

I'm not JJ but you are allowed 8 movies like everybody else Destiny.

Re: 2016 MoFo Mega Movie Tournament

8?! Ill think of 2 more....

Re: 2016 MoFo Mega Movie Tournament

Your two and Destiny's 8 would take us to 114.
