"Best Picture" Blu-ray.com Tournament - Precious Region Round 1! Come Vote!!

[CZAR]

We are now underway for our 2nd official Blu-ray.com Tourney! Precious Region! Same rules apply as the first tournament and u vote the same way as each film is paired in 2's and only one film will advance for each matchup. Just to be clear for some of those that dont follow march madness here is how it works. This poll will have 16 films but they are in matchups. So for example #1 seed Lord of the Rings: Return of the King is up against #16 seed Hamlet u only vote for 1 of those films to advance. U do that with every 2 films paired up and u choose 1 of each 2 paired because only 1 film from each pair will advance.

So its not 16 films head to head but they are in pairs head to head. Make sure u vote 1 film for each matchup. This will be opened for 3 days which is plenty of time to get your votes in. The winner of each individual matchup will advance to the 2nd round. Rememeber dont vote for the best 8 out of the 16 but do it on a matchup by matchup basis. If u have any questions feel free to ask!

Also this is not a best of or favorites matchup. I would say vote based on the overall take of the film u either feel is better or that u like better or a combination of both! Its up to u of what films to vote for and why. Make your vote count and please only vote 1 film for each paired matchup so that the voting totals come out correct. Below is the bracket link for this region just to make sure u understand what the matchups are. Here we go. Lets get this started!! Got Em!!

This my upset region out of the 2 up so far. I picked a lot of dogs here because I feel they are better movies. I am the one vote for Hamlet so far if you couldn't figure that out from this.

[CZAR]

I got u. There is one film for sure I think and hope will pull the upset. I wont say what it is yet but lets see how these matchups go. Got Em!!

French Connection pulled the upset in my voting, everything else went to the better seed

[TheForce8686]

I only voted for the 3 movies I enjoyed. I didn't felt right voting in a contest where don't I care about either movie. It is pretty sad how bad the list of "best" pictures are.

Easy again:

LOTR
On the Waterfront
The French Connection
Lawrence of Arabia (although In the Heat of the Night is excellent)
Gladiator
Platoon
Dances with Wolves
Cuckoo

I had all the same, except for Platoon.

Best Years of Our Lives is one of my favorite old movies, for some odd reason I just really liked it, and have watched it a few times since. Platoon I just couldn't get into enough to care to see again.

I think you'd be in the minority, at least for this region. There have been some turds nominated for Best Picture, and a few that even won... but all 16 of the movies in this region are pretty good, and worth seeing.

Driving Miss Daisy and/or Hamlet might be the weakest of the group.
