My votes (where I haven't voted there's usually one of the movies I haven't seen):

Shichinin no samurai / The Seven Samurai VS Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Casablanca VS Apocalypse Now Can't decide..
Flåklypa Grand Prix / Pinchcliffe Grand Prix VS Memento
The Godfather: Part II VS Yume / Dreams Haven't gotten around to seeing Yume yet, but The Godfather II is just so brilliant
Der Untergang / The Downfall VS Schindler's List
It's a Wonderful Life VS The Usual Suspects
South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut VS Per qualche dollaro in più / For a Few Dollars More I love South Park, but... Leone+Eastwood = <3
300 VS Star Wars
Deconstructing Harry VS Lawrence of Arabia Nat seen Deconstructing Harry I'm afraid, but Lawrence is greatness
Todo sobre mi madre / All About My Mother VS Pulp Fiction
Rear Window VS Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi / Spirited Away This is incredibly hard as both are of my favourite movies, but Rear Window might be my absolute favourite
Psycho VS Life of Brian
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb VS Dersu Uzala
Chinatown VS Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
Nuovo cinema Paradiso VS The Great Dictator I have The Great Dictator lying here, but unfortunately haven't seen it yet. Nuovo cinema Paradiso is one of my favourites though, so I'll choose it nonetheless
Léon VS The Third Man Both very, very good. But I enjoyed Léon more, although The Third Man might be the better movie
The Shawshank Redemption VS Paths of Glory
Gandhi VS Das Boot Was planning on seeing Gandhi before voting here, but haven't had time. Though I don't think it can possibly be better than Das Boot
Oldboy VS Fargo
Ed wood VS El Laberinto del fauno / Pan's Labyrinth
Se7en VS The Princess Bride
American History X VS The Lion King
Back to the Future VS American Beauty
Batoru rowaiaru / Battle Royale VS The Deer Hunter
Tonari no Totoro / My Neighbour Totoro VS Garden State
The Notebook VS Fight Club
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas VS One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Being John Malkovich VS The Silence of the Lambs
The Shining VS North by Northwest Two brilliant movies by two brilliant directors. Hitchcock takes this one
Goodfellas VS The Dirty Dozen
Ladri di biciclette / The Bicycle Thief VS Forrest Gump
Citizen Kane VS Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain / Amelie from Montmartre Quite simply impossible
M VS Cidade de Deus / City of God M is magnificent. But...
Wo hu cang long / Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon VS Sunset Blvd.
Saw VS The Matrix Few movies are cooler than The Matrix, regardless of its sequels
Donnie Darko VS Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Full Metal Jacket VS Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back VS Rocky I love Rocky..
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers VS 2001: A Space Odyssey It's been too long since I saw 2001, so can't really decide here
Blue Velvet VS A Clockwork Orange
Brazil VS Raging Bull
The Godfather VS Vertigo Both exquisite
12 Angry Men VS Dumb & Dumber One of the world's greatest movies, ever, versus.. dumb and dumber?! This is a no-brainer
To Kill a Mockingbird VS Requiem for a Dream
Dip hyut shueng hung / The Killer VS Raiders of the Lost Ark
Il Buono, il brutto, il cattivo / The Good, the Bad and the Ugly VS Taxi Driver Very difficult, but again, Leone + Eastwood...
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King VS C'era una volta il West / Once Upon a Time in the West
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring VS The Treasure of the Sierra Madre I very much enjoyed ...Sierra Madre, but I suppose I should choose at least one of the LotR movies here. A LotR marathon in the movie theater is a great experience
Was it cast for the mass who burn and toil?
Or for the vultures who thirst for blood and oil?

Shichinin no samurai / The Seven Samurai VS Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - oh, tough one; I love Eternal Sunshine, but I gotta give props to the movie that all but invented the modern action movie
Casablanca VS Apocalypse Now - Apocalypse Now is excellent, but Casablanca is perfect
Flåklypa Grand Prix / Pinchcliffe Grand Prix VS Memento - two good but not great films; could've gone for either one, really
The Godfather: Part II VS Yume / Dreams - haven't seen Dreams
Der Untergang / The Downfall VS Schindler's List - Schindler's List is too sappy
It's a Wonderful Life VS The Usual Suspects - the end of the Usual Suspects is a mindfuck, sure, but the end of It's a Wonderful Life is the most heartwarming thing ever
South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut VS Per qualche dollaro in più / For a Few Dollars More - South Park is funny, but this is no contest
300 VS Star Wars - haven't seen 300
Deconstructing Harry VS Lawrence of Arabia - haven't seen Deconstructing Harry
Todo sobre mi madre / All About My Mother VS Pulp Fiction - these movies cannot be compared in any meaningful way, but for sheer entertainment value I'll have to go with Pulp Fiction
Rear Window VS Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi / Spirited Away - probably the toughest choice on here, as both are truly fantastic movies; could've gone either way
Psycho VS Life of Brian - Psycho is a good film, but kind of silly; Life of Brian, on the other hand, it's an astonishingly complex human drama with infinitely nuanced characters, studious plot development, and Graham Chapman's penis
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb VS Dersu Uzala - haven't seen Dersu Uzala
Chinatown VS Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl - I've nothing against Pirates, but this is no contest
Nuovo cinema Paradiso VS The Great Dictator - haven't seen either
Léon VS The Third Man - an easy choice for me; Leon is good, but it has nothing on The Third Man
The Shawshank Redemption VS Paths of Glory - I used to love Shawshank as much as anyone, but the more new movies I see the less it appeals to me -- other movies do similar things better; Paths of Glory still holds up as a harsh anti-war movie
Gandhi VS Das Boot - Gandhi is a good but predictable biopic, while Das Boot is a masterpiece of tension
Oldboy VS Fargo - I don't like Oldboy very much
Ed wood VS El Laberinto del fauno / Pan's Labyrinth - haven't seen Ed Wood
Se7en VS The Princess Bride - tough choice; I'm not all that enamored with either of these, although they're both good films
American History X VS The Lion King - this may be a controversial opinion, but I think American History X is a bad film that presents a completely untrue picture of the problems of deep-rooted racism
Back to the Future VS American Beauty - American Beauty is a sitcom for the silver screen and it takes itself far too seriously, Back to the Future is just good fun
Batoru rowaiaru / Battle Royale VS The Deer Hunter - haven't seen Battle Royale
Tonari no Totoro / My Neighbour Totoro VS Garden State - Garden State has its merits, but in my opinion it's ultimately a totally pedestrian movie that has no business being counted as "one of the best ever"; My Neighbor Totoro is short, sweet and wonderful
The Notebook VS Fight Club - haven't seen The Notebook
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas VS One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - with no disrespect to Fear and Loathing, Cuckoo's Nest is clearly the stronger movie
Being John Malkovich VS The Silence of the Lambs - Being John Malkovich isn't as sharply written as Adaptation, and it often tries too hard to be witty and quirky; Silence of the Lambs isn't a film I have a great emotional attachment to, but it's a well-made film
The Shining VS North by Northwest - do I really have to choose? I don't wanna
Goodfellas VS The Dirty Dozen - I haven't actually seen The Dirty Dozen, but I did see the last five minutes of it on TV the other day, and I've seen a documentary about it; therefore I'm voting for Goodfellas
Ladri di biciclette / The Bicycle Thief VS Forrest Gump - not to be overly iconoclastic here, but Bicycle Thieves isn't all it's cracked up to be -- it's better than Forrest Gump, though
Citizen Kane VS Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain / Amelie from Montmartre - tough one; for technical merits it would have to be Kane, but Amelie is a personal favorite of mine
M VS Cidade de Deus / City of God - M doesn't have shit on Metropolis
Wo hu cang long / Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon VS Sunset Blvd. - haven't seen Crouching Tiger
Saw VS The Matrix - haven't seen Saw
Donnie Darko VS Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels - I think I saw Lock Stock at some point, but I'm not sure and I remember nothing about it; I've seen Snatch, though, so I guess I have seen Lock Stock, in a sense
Full Metal Jacket VS Monty Python and the Holy Grail - I haven't seen Full Metal Jacket in a while, and I remember very little of the second half, but Holy Grail wins this one regardless
Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back VS Rocky - can you believe I haven't seen Rocky?
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers VS 2001: A Space Odyssey - while I like Two Towers (albeit the least of the trilogy) 2001 is one of my all-time favorites and clearly the winner here
Blue Velvet VS A Clockwork Orange - this is a good matchup -- there seems to be a certain commonality between these two movies in terms of both thematic content and style; I like both a lot, but I'm gonna go with Clockwork
Brazil VS Raging Bull - De Niro's performance as Jake LaMotta in Raging Bull is one of the best by anyone ever, and his turn as Harry Tuttle in Brazil -- while entertaining -- doesn't come close; still, that is completely irrelevant, and this one goes to Brazil
The Godfather VS Vertigo - The Godfather may be the prime example of a movie that's practically perfect in every way, but which still somehow fails to transcend itself and become more than the sum of its parts; Vertigo is Hitchcock's greatest masterpiece
12 Angry Men VS Dumb & Dumber - give me a fucking break
To Kill a Mockingbird VS Requiem for a Dream - Requiem is disturbing, but way overdramatic; To Kill a Mockingbird isn't without its flaws, but it easily wins this matchup
Dip hyut shueng hung / The Killer VS Raiders of the Lost Ark - haven't seen The Killer
Il Buono, il brutto, il cattivo / The Good, the Bad and the Ugly VS Taxi Driver - Taxi Driver is my favorite Scorsese film and a great achievement, but we're talking about Good Bad Ugly here, man
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King VS C'era una volta il West / Once Upon a Time in the West - the first time I saw Once Upon a Time in the West I didn't like it very much at all. I've since revisited it and found it a lot more rewarding, but I would still prefer to watch Return of the King one more time
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring VS The Treasure of the Sierra Madre - haven't seen Sierra Madre

I hope I didn't write too much. I get excited when talking about movies.

Details on pairs where the outcome of the voting was drawed: In two of the pairs, there were an equal amount of votes for each movie. I hadn't thought about what I'd do in such a situation beforehand, and there were three options:
1. "Coin toss".
2. Some new Intermediate voting round where we'd vote over just these movies, somehow.
3. Dani suggested to me that maybe we could let the one with the highest IMDb rating win the pair.

I think the 1st option is quite stupid, though it works, and the 2nd one I fear will take too long and just be confusing. So I went with Dani's option, and chose the one with the highest IMDb rating. This might not be the policy for future rounds though, so perhaps you could write in your posts, when you are voting for round 2, how you think the winner of a draw should be decided. At least I won't use the IMDb rating in the semi-final or the final, but rather figure out something else.


Comments about results:

A few interesting things happened:
None of the four Hitchcock movies came through to the 2nd round, but they didn't exactly get easy pairings (Spirited Away, Life of Brian, The Shining, The Godfather).
All three Lord of the Rings movies won their pairs.
Oft voted "Best movie ever", Citizen Kane, was eliminated already in this round.
Total number of voters were: 21.

The tally of movies per decade after Round 1 is:

1930s: 0 movies
1940s: 0 movies
1950s: 2 movies
1960s: 4 movies
1970s: 8 movies
1980s: 8 movies
1990s: 14 movies
2000s: 12 movies
Was it cast for the mass who burn and toil?
Or for the vultures who thirst for blood and oil?

ROUND 2
48 movies, 24 pairs.

The pairings are (almost) completely random: The list of 48 movies has been shuffled so that two and two movies have switched places 100 000 times, then the pairs have been made as the first vs the second, the third vs the fourth, etc, from the shuffled list.

Note: You do not have to vote in every pair, or in every round.
The voting lasts through Monday

You can't vote for both, you know :D

*Edit: Btw, I think we should stick to coin toss til like the quarter finals, where we try to have a special round only for those that got the same ammount of votes. And if that doesn't work, I guess we'll never be able to decide a winner :P

Ok, I guess draws better be settled by a "coin toss" (or similar) in the future. At least then both movies have an equal chance of winning the pair. Obviously I should've done that in Round 1 also, but I guess one doesn't think too clearly at 06:00 AM. Though in later rounds, maybe from quarter-finals onwards, it should perhaps be decided by some kind of revote instead.

If anyone has other suggestions for how to do things when there's a draw, post here.
Was it cast for the mass who burn and toil?
Or for the vultures who thirst for blood and oil?

In a draw I think we should go by the movie which got the most votes in previous events.

it isn't absolute value.

for example 8 votes for "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" is not the same as 8 votes for "12 Angry Men"
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring 8 - 1 The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
12 Angry Men 8 - 7 Dumb & Dumber

I don't like this, since it's based on what movie it was up against in the previous round. Also, not everyone votes in every pair.
Was it cast for the mass who burn and toil?
Or for the vultures who thirst for blood and oil?

The Shawshank Redemption VS Forrest Gump -This is like Oscars 1994 all over again, that time Forrest Gump won... Too hard to choose.

Raiders of the Lost Ark VS Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain / Amelie from Montmartre -Indiana Jones kicks ass

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers VS Memento -Haven't seen Memento yet...

American History X VS Star Wars -However much I like Star Wars, I have to vote American History X...

The Shining VS Nuovo cinema Paradiso -A movie I think I might have seen against a movie I haven't seen, no vote.

Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back VS Il Buono, il brutto, il cattivo / The Good, the Bad and the Ugly -Star Wars V is perhaps the best Star Wars movie, but the other one here I haven't seen and it's supposed to be brilliant. No vote.

12 Angry Men VS Wo hu cang long / Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon -A good friend of mine saw me doing this and insisted I voted for 12 Angry Men...

Cidade de Deus / City of God VS Pulp Fiction -Haven't seen City of God, Pulp Fiction is very good though, but no vote for me...

Goodfellas VS Tonari no Totoro / My Neighbour Totoro -Haven't seen any of them...

The Silence of the Lambs VS The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring -I've read the LoTR books quite some times opposed to the books about Hannibal Lector, but I must say that the movie Silence of the Lambs is better imho...

Fargo VS The Godfather -Not seen any of them... :oops: YET

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl VS The Matrix -I'm not a big Matrix fan..

El Laberinto del fauno / Pan's Labyrinth VS Requiem for a Dream -Haven't seen them

Das Boot VS Life of Brian -Not seen Das Boot, Life of Brian is a good movie, but no vote from me..

The Godfather: Part II VS Fight Club -Haven't seen GF2... Fight Club has its twists and is very enjoyable as a movie, but a bit overrated imho. No vote.

Léon VS The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King -haven't seen Leon, no vote.

Batoru rowaiaru / Battle Royale VS Se7en -Battle Royale is a must see, sick humour, fantastic movie. Se7en is good entertainment, but BR is better.

The Usual Suspects VS One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest -Haven't seen One Flew over... but the Usual Suspects is a great movie... Almost so good that I'd vote for it without seeing the opposition, but I won't.

Apocalypse Now VS Monty Python and the Holy Grail -Not seen Apocalypse Now, I love the smell of unladen swallows in the morning though, but no vote here either...

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels VS A Clockwork Orange -I think I've seen A Clockwork Orange once, but I won't vote here...

Per qualche dollaro in più / For a Few Dollars More VS Back to the Future -BttF is brilliant, but haven't seen For a Few...

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb VS Brazil -Not seen any...

Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi / Spirited Away VS Lawrence of Arabia -Not seen any...

Schindler's List VS Shichinin no samurai / The Seven Samurai -Schindler's is a good movie, but I've heard that Seven Samurai is also that. No vote...
4th position in WC4 (DAMN YOU KARLIS!!!!) PWNED KARLIS IN WC5!!!!TT:39:2x:xx (you've got some playing to do Stini ;) ) When it's all over the question is not who was right. The question is who's left.

You also have Monday to vote, since only 18 people have voted so far, as opposed to 21 people last round.

My votes:

The Shawshank Redemption VS Forrest Gump
Raiders of the Lost Ark VS Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain / Amelie from Montmartre It's been a while since I saw Raiders of the Lost Ark, but I absolutely love Amélie!
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers VS Memento
American History X VS Star Wars
The Shining VS Nuovo cinema Paradiso
Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back VS Il Buono, il brutto, il cattivo / The Good, the Bad and the Ugly The best Star Wars movie, but nevertheless, not as good as Leone's masterpiece.
12 Angry Men VS Wo hu cang long / Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 12 Angry Men manages to be better than pretty much every other movie by having nearly the entire film take place in just one room, and having no action whatsoever.
Cidade de Deus / City of God VS Pulp Fiction
Goodfellas VS Tonari no Totoro / My Neighbour Totoro I love Miyazaki's movies, but I find Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke to be even better than Totoro. Oh, and Goodfellas is a great movie of course.
The Silence of the Lambs VS The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Very, very difficult. Buuut.. I'm going with LotR.
Fargo VS The Godfather
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl VS The Matrix
El Laberinto del fauno / Pan's Labyrinth VS Requiem for a Dream
Das Boot VS Life of Brian
The Godfather: Part II VS Fight Club
Léon VS The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Batoru rowaiaru / Battle Royale VS Se7en Not sure about this choice..
The Usual Suspects VS One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Apocalypse Now VS Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels VS A Clockwork Orange
Per qualche dollaro in più / For a Few Dollars More VS Back to the Future
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb VS Brazil Quite difficult this one, but Kubrick's brilliant satire takes it.
Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi / Spirited Away VS Lawrence of Arabia Lawrence of Arabia is an amazing movie. But Spirited Away might be the best animated movie ever (or is that Princess Mononoke?).
Schindler's List VS Shichinin no samurai / The Seven Samurai This is too hard.. Shichinin no Samurai is fantastic, but it's very difficult to not vote for a movie that made me cry the way Schindler's List did..


I'll do the counting and making the next round tomorrow afternoon, so there's still some time left to vote, I guess.

Very nice vote. I absolutely agree. Episode V is the best one, however The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is top notch.

And by the way SveinR; I edited my post with a vote for The Matrix instead of not voting at all between the two movies (Pirates of the Caribbean).

Details on pairs where the outcome of the voting was drawed: In three of the pairs, there were an equal amount of votes for each movie. In these pairs, the winner was decided by a coin toss. This should've been done in the last round as well, as it was somewhat unfair to implement IMDb votes above your votes.

Comments about results:

Yet again, all three Lord of the Rings movies won their pairs and are through to the next round.
The Godfather: Part II, by some (myself included) considered even better than its predecessor, did not go through to the next round.
Winner of Funniest movie world cup a year ago, Life of Brian, got eliminated in this round.
Stanley Kubrick still has three movies left in the competition.
Total number of voters were: 20.

The tally of movies per decade after Round 2 is:

1930s: 0 movies
1940s: 0 movies
1950s: 0 movies
1960s: 2 movies
1970s: 4 movies
1980s: 3 movies
1990s: 7 movies
2000s: 8 movies
Was it cast for the mass who burn and toil?
Or for the vultures who thirst for blood and oil?

ROUND 3
24 movies, 12 pairs.

The pairings are (almost) completely random: The list of 24 movies has been shuffled so that two and two movies have switched places 100 000 times, then the pairs have been made as the first vs the second, the third vs the fourth, etc, from the shuffled list.

Note: You do not have to vote in every pair, or in every round.
The voting lasts through Friday
