The 1-16 matchup between Pulp Fiction and Chinatown is a double feature/challenge that everybody should take.

Added: Long live Los Angeles!

Also, I watch searching for Bobby Fischer once every few years. The older I get, the more a masterpiece it becomes. Think it might be the most underrated movie of all time.

fight club vs. wizard of oz? gettin naaaaaasty up in here. daaang.
As far as 1st round upsets go, that one seems like a shoo-in. I don’t think Hoosiers should feel safe going up against Ferris. Or maybe the biggest potential upset, Jaws up against The Usual Suspects (we’ll see what the Kevin Spacey effect might be). Curious to see how The Matrix fairs against original flavor Star Wars. Pulling for Heat (my favorite movie) against Cuckoo’s Nest. I think The Shining has a chance against the Dude too.

Yes, along with the list of exclusively pornos that someone submitted. It’s a good thing I actually know you, I would’ve felt some guilt discounting that list otherwise.

Look for my NIT bracket coming soon: FF series VS .

Forrest Gump at 10? Ugh. Shouldn't be near a greatest movie list.

And here I thought my suggestion of "Catwoman," "Nukie" "Superbabies," and the like was bad.

Great job, impressed with the work compiling all the results and looking forward to the voting.

These were lists of people's favorite movies, maybe "the greatest movie, in my opinion".
Shawshank is illustrative, it is definitely one of my favorites, but its not great like the Godfather is or Jaws or Apocalypse Now. It is all subjective of course, for example because I like them so much I think Unforgiven and Rocky are great movies, but true cinema-files likely disagree. And I 'm not saying this should be a classics standoff where Casablanca must compete with Citizen Kane.

It might have been accidental, but I think it great that the movies aren't categorized and broken up into dramas, comedies etc.. This makes the choices tougher and more interesting my toughest:
Die Hard vs Cool Hand Luke - I can't pick
Caddyshack vs. Good Will - two favorites in different ways, leaning Caddy
Schindler vs Back to Future - bad draw for Marty McFly
Silence of Lambs vs Anchorman - Silence should win but if there were a comedy region Anchorman is sweet 16
Gladiator vs Something About Mary - the latter was so enjoyably funny at time but doesn't hold up
Jaws vs Usual Suspects - should be no-brainer but Usual has very loyal fans
Big Lebowski vs Shining - loyal fans will likely crush possible greatest horror movie ever
Raiders vs Full Metal - can't pick, first half of full metal is so good

On a list of "greatest movies all time" that includes Step Brothers, Old School and Anchorman, that's what upsets you?

Yes, I'm upset that Step Brothers, et al made it in over 12 Angry Men. That was my point.

But not about Anchorman. That was on my list. True classic. It's kind of a big deal.

@Mano so how's this going to work? Do a series of polls each day for a region?

Looking at that list and comparing it with what I already know about the BY, I'm coming to the conclusion that Will Ferrell is the Arby's of comedy.
