MOFO Movie Tournament 2012 Nominations

I was thinking of doing a bracket just like last years. I figured the best way to do it would be to not allow any of the elite 8 from last year into the tournament this year, but I am open to other suggestions.

Other than that, let the nominations begin. I say each person can nominate 2 films to start.

Don't allow any of the films from last year. There's plenty of films to go around.

Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

Woman in the Dunes
Sherlock, Jr.

Alright, let's go with that then. I'll have to see if I can find a list of all the films that were previously used, instead of wading through them all.

Vertigo
EDIT: The Godfather (muahaha)
