Round 1: Match 25
The Princess Bride http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/...CLZZZZZZZ_.jpg This one must've been a bitch to market. Part romance, part fantasy, part action, part comedy, et cetera. And it works on all of those levels. A lot of great performances, particularly by the late Andre the Giant, but the REAL star of the movie is Mandy Patinkin as Inigo Montoya, who I am still baffled didn't get any awards for the role. Also features the best sword fight scene I've ever seen. VS The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/...CLZZZZZZZ_.jpg The one that started it all. The semenal horror film AND German expressionist film. The plot and acting, while both were good, are not nearly the point of the movie. The point is the look, the horrifically angled houses, the tall chairs, the jumbled mess that is the town, the nightmarish look that infects everything in the movie. There's no way the look of this movie could ever be replicated. |
I loved Princess Bride when I was a kid, but Caligari wins this one by a long shot.

Round 1: Match 26
This Film Is Not Yet Rated http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/...CLZZZZZZZ_.jpg I would almost go so far as to say this should be required viewing for anybody interested in the filmmaking process. The whole thing really sheds some light on the ratings system and how flawed it really is. Explains the rules for appealing a film rating, shows that a lot of the reasons films get rated NC-17 are vague and can change from movie to movie, and that the MPAA is much more inclined to help out a studio film than an indy movie. See this movie. VS Sid & Nancy http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/...CLZZZZZZZ_.jpg Dramatic biopic of Sid Vicious, with a scarily great performance by Gary Oldman, acclaimed by everybody except Johnny Rotten. But even he said Oldman did good. Factual accuracy issues aside, the movie is solid, but is elevated almost to excellent-great status by Oldman. |

Round 1: Match 27
Battle Royale http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/...CLZZZZZZZ_.jpg Japanese high school students killing each other in various violent ways, "Beat" Takeshi as the stone-faced teacher who kills a couple students himself, and Verdi's Requiem Mass. What's not to love about Battle Royale? Very nice and often unmentioned use of the island setting, and paced extremely well over the three days. Not to mention the fantastic direction, especially the lighthouse fight scene. VS 12 Angry Men http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/...CLZZZZZZZ_.jpg Twelve of the greatest actors of their day, a couple of them some of greatest actors of all time, sitting in a room deciding the fate of a young-ish man accused of murder. No need for a fancy plot or any action in this one. The direction could have been functional and just relied on the weight of the actors, but Lumet directs it in a subtle but very powerful way that accentuates the acting. One of the five best movies I've ever seen. |

Round 1: Match 28
Dawn of the Dead http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/...CLZZZZZZZ_.jpg The zombie movie. It has everything a great zombie movie needs. Gore, kills coming out of nowhere, gore, people held up in a building or some sort keeping the zombies out, gore, a little bit of dark comedy, gore, and Tom Savini. Also has a strong performance by Ken Foree. Also, it's friggen Dawn of the Dead. VS Ninja Scroll http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/...CLZZZZZZZ_.jpg Somewhat overlooked anime film, has a story more interesting and coherent than a lot of anime movies, good voice acting in both the Japanese language and the English dub, another rarity, and crazy monster villains. |
Hahaha.
Dawn of the Dead. |
