All Around Film Tournamet, VOL. 2
 

There was a time in the great and storied history of HDC when Tournaments were abundant. Today, few remain. To the rescue, I ressurect an idea from WAY back in my Vampenguin days....

THE ALL-AROUND FILM TOURNAMENT....VOL 2!!!


This tournament is comprised of 64 matches....the competitors will be 128 classic, influential, or just completly random films. Most genres will be represented, though there is a lack of foreign cinema.

Matches will last until either entrant recieves 5 votes. Please base your votes however you like, choose the overall better film or your persional favourite of the two....it's all up to you!


And without further ado,

Let the games begin!

Starting out with a good match. Matches are chosen at random, by the way. Some will be very close while others will be no contest what so ever.

Anyway.

ROUND 1, MATCH 1


The Texas Chainsaw Massacre [1974]

Pulp Fiction

TCM

Less than an hour into the tournament, and were all realy neck and neck folks. Tie game at 1 vote a piece!

WEIRDOS!!! :rolleyes: :p

Pulp Fiction



although the tournament is already faulty in that you alone are picking the movies, so it's based mostly on your opinion

As a matter of fact, I was having a hard time choosing the 128 films for the tounament, so I went to YOUR Top 100 list in your signature, and used quite a few films off that. Your entire Top 10 is in the tournament, as well as many others.:D


Also - This isnt to determine Best Movie Ever or anything, just all in good fun to see what comes out on top.

TCM ALL THE WAY !!!!!!:D

Wow...close match. Still tied, 2-2.

Need more voters!

maybe a little early for a new match...but can everyone create matches or you want to do it ?

Another vote for TCM here. Pulp Fiction is a damn good film, but TCM defined a genre.

In that case it is largely based on fact. Carry on

He's got it all planned out.




I'll vote TCM over Pulp any day. Throw in some reservoir Dogs and then we might have a tough decision though...

And Pulp Fiction didn't?

i vote for pulp fiction

sorry i havent updated my toury i will soon i promise

Pulp Fiction

Pulp fiction

I still think you're weirdos :rolleyes:

TCM

Slasherman - No, I have a roster made up.



Pulp Fiction was the first to 5 votes, so it moves on to the next round. Normally I wont cut them off if they're this close, but I wanted Match 2 up before I left for school.

Got another Tarantino in here...


ROUND 1, MATCH 2


Frenzy

VS


Kill Bill

since I'm no big Tarantino fan this is eazy "Frenzy"

I generally love HItchcock films, but I haven't seen this one and really enjoyed Kill Bill. (Especially Vol. 1, but Vol. 2 had some cool stuff too, it was just a totally different style movie.)

I'll go Kill Bill.

Frenzy.....just

Kill Bill

Frenzy

Kill Bill

Tough choice but I'll vote for Kill Bill, had it been a different Hitchcock movie...

Kill Bill. I'm not the biggest Hitchcock fan, actually.

*prepares flame-retardant suit*

Kill Bill takes the win 5-3!

Next match in a sec

Hey, just noticed....both winners so far have been Tarantino. He still has 1 film in this, lets see if he can make it 3 for 3. That match wont be for awhile though.


This here could be another good match....I think I can see how it'll turn out though.


ROUND 1, MATCH 3
