I've been very, very, very busy the last week. It's been cutting into my school work, and I've gotten a couple of bad grades because of it. I'll try to have this stuff taken care of tomorrow if I can.

I need to finish some homework before midnight, once that is finished, I'll get this thing rolling.

Final Scores, need two tiebreakers.

Le Samourai vs My Cousin Vinny

My Cousin Vinny is fairly light hearted for a comedy. It doesn't really make me laugh. But besides that there's nothing else particularly impressive about it either. It's such a mediocre movie. Le Samourai is a masterpiece.

Werckmeister Harmonies vs Elephant

Perhaps Werckmeister Harmonies deserves to win, but I found it too hard to digest. On the other hand I love hyper realism and Gus Van Sant.

The Spy Who Came in from the Cold vs Lawrence of Arabia

The former blew my mind. While the latter is a classic, I don't think it's camera work, acting, and script are as strong.

Edit: Oh, I see that's from the previous round. Nevermind then. Curse you Spaulding for picking the wrong movie! :P

Hmmm. Well one of your three votes counts.
