16 out, 16 to go Foreign Film Tournament

Tools    





Well the tie round and first round are both over and there are now 16 films left and 8 matchups. This will end in slightly over to weeks, Monday December 17th
Some people lost both of there nominees and some people have both and most have one left. once again I put all film names in a hat shuffled them up and drew out the matchups one by one to show no favoritism

Here we go

Talk to her (Godoggo) vs Blue Kite (tyler1)
Nosferatu (rauldc) vs Girl on the Bridge (Honeykid)

I really enjoyed The Double Life of Veronique and The Girl on the Bridge. I think I should take more note of honeykid's recommendations in future.

I'm going to try and watch a few more of these before I vote in this round, but sadly can't get hold of all of them.



This is getting brutal.

Discreet charm of the bourgeoisie (Wintertriangles) vs Sansho the Baliff (rauldc)
Talk to her (Godoggo) vs Blue Kite (tyler1)
Nosferatu (rauldc) vs Girl on the Bridge (Honeykid) - basically a tie though
Double life of Veronique (Honeykid) vs Battle Royale (Skepsis)
Sawdust and Tinsel (Wintertriangles) vs Underground (Harry Lime) - such an unfair pairing
Cries and Whispers (Hitchfan) vs Show Me Love (Thursdays next)
Andre Rublev (ThomasP) vs My Life as Dog (Godoggo)
Oldboy (DonnieDarko) vs Stalker (Mr.Minio)

I think Sansho vs Discreet charm is the most interesting this round. It's 2-3 right now, I think it'll go to the tie round honestly

Yeah, I didn't mean she was the only one that could vote, just that no one else was participating thus far. It would be much better if more people voted.
