All-around film tournament
 

seems like I haven't done one of these in a while, this particular one hasn't been done as far as I know since that first one, and I checked 5 pages back and have only found one tournament that isn't done yet, so if there'd be any interest I'd be willing to do up an All-Around Movie Tournament.

I'd vote in it.

I would vote, add some war movies!

Since I'm not just gonna plug my top 64 movies into the tournament, any recommendations would be welcome

Full metal Jacket
Phantasm
Grand Theft Parsons
Grandmas Boy
Evil Alien Conquerers
Napoleon Dynamite

Those are a few of my nominations.

Ok, I realize this exposes a big bias on my part, but fucking Napoleon Dynamite will never be in a Best Movie tournament that I'm in charge of.

lol-understood.

Million Dollar Baby
Mystic River
Unforgiven
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

...add movies from all genre with good box-office record as well as which have been critically acclaimed.
I'm in too.

Pay It Forward
Singles
The Great Rock and Roll Swindle

Box office records mean shit to me.

the 64 movies are chosen by me. It'll be a combination of my opinion and general consensus. For example, I did an Asian Movie tournament. Oldboy won. Now, I wouldn't put Oldboy in my top 64 movies list, but it won the Asian movie tournament, so I figure general opinion around here of it must be pretty high, so Oldboy will be in the tournament.

That's not a blanket rule, though. General opinion of The Beyond seems pretty high around here, too, and The Beyond will not be in the tournament.

I figure I'll divide it into 8 genres and pick 8 movies for each genre, so representation will be even.

..then add movies with shit-records!:D :D :D

I don't care about the box-office records, so box-office records will play no part in the selection one way or the other.

Super Troopers

Healthy dose of Kurosawa and Scorsese wouldn't hurt.

both will be well represented

Some good ones in there but you forgot Made.:)

@ B, re: narrowing it down; you should try re-reading the thread.

and the genres will be?

Drama
Action
Comedy
Sci-Fi
Western
Horror
War


I would think that's given and as I remember, he doesn't hold musicals to high, so what the last genre would be, I have no idea.

Documentary?

I demand Kill Bill (both Volumes, or at least v.2)


Airplane!
Jurassic Park
Batman Begins
The Matrix
V for Vendetta
The Emperor's New Groove (lol)

...I could go on forever, but there's a pretty well-rounded list for you. I don't think many would argue any of those, there's something for everybody.

Only 64?

Mine was 128...

**edited For stupidity**

There are so many amazing films, how will you pick just 6 (8?)

beyond the mat was awesome plz put it in

Action, Drama, Horror, Comedy, Documentary, Animation, Romance, and Sci-Fi will probably be the genres

And the previous one was 128 movies? Hm. I might do more than 64 if it comes to that.

Fingers
Taxi Driver
Shaun of the dead
Stand by me
Night of the liveing daed
office space
rivers edge
Dead man

And it's looking like 128 won't be enough

256 it is then :)

I'll probably do a couple qualifying rounds in the early going, because a 255 match tournament would take forever

Have a fun year with this one sam.

the qualifying rounds won't take long, I doubt this one'll be much longer than a standard 63 match tournament

Hey i'm in as long as Vendetta and killbill are in it.:)

Well, one of those are, one may or may not be

Is it KillBill?

Yeah, Kill Bill is in the Action/Adventure part

Then i'm satisfied, for once:cool:
