Captain*

Of all the words with different spellings in that film, captain is not one.

Oh Tr, there was an influx of foreign films, if I need to cut films then I will likely do by RT score or some metric like that, but only if it's significantly lower. Not Perfect but like...better than a coin flip

NOTE: Neither Seven Samurai nor Magnificent Seven has been nominated...

NOTE 2: We are also in dire need of thrillers/horror films and there are zero films by Alfred Hitchcock in the pool

Also the extremely under appreciated Hell or High Water?

Yup....I mean. I'm gonna wait a while (until like midnight EST) but if people aren't nominating enough, at least in the categories that need nominees, I might have to add non controversial picks to fill them up. I don't want to do this obviously, so nominate films.

##SECOND L.A. Confidential
##SECOND Inception
##SECOND Deadpool

I am whoring out my last second to anyone who seconds Aliens. Name the movie and you get a second.

##Second Aliens

Vash, did you finally watch it?

##SECOND Apollo 13
##SECOND The Matrix
##SECOND V for Vendetta

##NOMINATE The Ten Commandments (1956) -Not sure if we have a religious category if not religious then this would be drama I guess-

I'd say the greatest movie tournament was probably in The Karate Kid, but then I can't the no of another movie with a tournament. Hoosiers, maybe? I don't remember it that well

A few are in fact, overbooked

The Graduate still does not belong in the Epic category
Fargo belongs in Noir

FWIW, 46 movies have been seconded at least once. If we get to 64, will they all qualify for the knockout bracket?

It's not simply Epics. It's Dramas and Epics. It belongs there just as much as Forrest Gump does.

the bracket is up to 128 films. Anything seconded is pretty much through. I want to get closer to that number though so I may give out more seconds.

114 nominees

##NOMINATE Black Orpheus in foreign films
##SECOND Reservoir Dogs

##SECOND Elf too

Elf is my jam.

##SECOND The Godfather, ##SECOND Saving Private Ryan, ##SECOND Airplane, and ##SECOND LOTR

Can I do all that?

Also, ##NOMINATE Cool Hand Luke in drama/epics.
