Round 1: Match 26
This Film Is Not Yet Rated
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
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.
