1969 would win if they were the first five votes.

Wait till Round 1 is complete. Something special is brewing...

The pain of voting against some of these movies is becoming unbearable! I may have to open two bogus accounts so I can vote for every freaking year.

Yep, most of these matches are pretty damn hard to vote. I am surprised you guys are choosing a year out of the 3 listed - if I was a voter, I would be twisting and turning in my bed all night, debating over and over again, and STILL not be able to reach a decision.

But wait till Round 1 is over - for there's still a twist in the tale, yet...

It hurts

1933
King Kong & The Invisible Man were 2 most extraordinary achievements according to their time of release. Still this is a think to wonder how remarkably they made those films & the impact they left on audience back at that time. Undoubtedly this films were ahead of their time. Even Kong is still very much alive in Hollywood today.

Can't believe I've just voted against one of my favorite years of horror...1971: The Year of Giallo begins & Dr. Phibes! Sad to see it may get knock out so early in the tournament.
