The Boneyard Greatest Movie of All-Time Tournament - Round 1: Part 3 - VOTE NOW!

It also has Andre the Giant.

He was taller than Kobe Bryant.

Hey I totally get it, "Dumb and Dumber" is a popular film on the Boneyard and as such should be a #1 seed.

Dumb and Dumber is a 15 seed, so who’s the dumby now!?

You are, for coming up with this tournament for idiots.

I've often thought Casablanca would have been better with Andre the Giant. Perhaps in the Claude Rains role?

Major Strasser: Renault, I want this club closed. I really mean it.
Captain Renault: Anybody want a peanut?

People voting for Princess Bride (a really good movie) over Casablanca also brought you predictions for a 21 win basketball season and a 5 win football season.

That's what I was trying to do above, but you built a solid setup so execution of the punchline was much better. Kudos.

 

[Mano]

Poll closes tonight! Casablanca and Princess Bride in a barn burner!

 

[Travelman6]

Princess bride with the 15 over 2 upset! Andre the giant was huge down low in helping the 15th seed squeak by!

 

[UConnNick]

Yeah I’m sure people rewatch the Princess Bride all the time

I don't think I've ever watched that one all the way through even once.

"Casablanca" is a cinematic treasure, almost universally acclaimed as one of, or the greatest film of all time.

It's as if the BY decided Colony was the best pizza in CT.

It is a result so mind-numbingly stupid that it almost renders the rest of the tournament worthless.

 

[Mano]

My goodness, guys, it’s a stupid freaking movie tournament on a formerly glorious college’s sports internet fan forum. Quit taking yourselves so seriously. It was ALL essentially meaningless to begin with.

Yep. I love Princess Bride and my wife jokes about "Why do you watch that so often?". But as great as it is for some of the classic scenes and memes, Casablanca simply towers over it as a cinematic treasure.

I'm reminded of Pittsburgh International, where at the top of the escalators, there are two statues: George Washington and Franco Harris. As if they were equals.

Nah. You underestimate the power of this poll. It is a proxy on the decline of American civilization.

I mean, isn't the point of this to have a discussion and air opinions? If we didn't get irrationally upset about meaningless things, we wouldn't love college basketball.

You just shut up and run the tourney thread movie-boy!

In Pittsburgh, they are equals! In fact, Harris would probably emerge victorious in a poll such as this one between the two of them.

A few years ago perhaps, but not since he defended Paterno. Perfectly fine here for your QB to rape underage women, but not to cover up raping kids, y'know. Gotta have standards!

 

[tzznandrew]

Perhaps it would have survived if only the alternate ending could have been tacked on.

This tournament is a joke..............the following clip is from a film that is regarded by most film critics as one of the top ten movies ever made. The acting in it it was incredible, two performances by child actors were memorable, and it was the great Martin Scorcese's crowning achievement. It did not not receive one vote in this stupid tournament.
