FOFC Favourite Movie - 3rd Round (Part 2)

[Carman Bulldog]

We continue on to Part 2 of the Round of 64. April is setting up to be a busy month for me (busier the later it goes), so I may start rolling these out more frequently. I'll keep the polls open for 3 days but there may be less time in between polls being posted so that I can get this wrapped up.

In my opinion, this is the toughest set of the round. Some brutal choices here. As always, complete bracket is here.

Stats through 2nd Round (Part 8)...

Lot's of good movies matched up here

[Radii]

Most difficult for me as well.

[CrescentMoonie]

I really want to change my vote on a bunch of these several times before it's over. Some absolutely brutal matchups where I feel bad about voting against either movie.

[NobodyHere]

By far the toughest round.

[Chief Rum]

That was incredibly tough.

[hollmt]

yeah, this gets to the point where I don't think too hard on it at all. not that the choices aren't tough, but because they ARE tough and thinking too much on it just makes it harder.
my voting process now is if both were on the t.v. at the same exact time, what would I watch?

That is what I am doing as well.

Makes it easier.

[Chief Rum]

That is actually the exact way I decided between T2 and The Last Crusade (I went Indy)

[thesloppy]

Forrest Gump over Alien is a travesty.

[Kodos]

Wow. Very tough matchups this round.

Interesting - I am going with all my votes on the criteria of "Which would I put in the player and watch more often if I owned them on DVD/Bluray."
