FOFC Favourite Movie - 4th Round (Part 1)
Welcome back! After a crazy April and May, things are finally settling down and it's time to conclude this tournament. My apologies for the delay. I knew I would have a busy April but some life changes made it even busier than anticipated and I was not able to get this wrapped up.
As a plus, with the extra time now, starting this round, I've made the change from 8 matchups per part to 4 matchups. This will draw the tournament out a bit and causes fewer agonizing decisions at once. As always, the complete bracket is here. Stats through 3rd Round... Note: New entries since last update appear in italics. Total Votes (3rd Round Winners) 167 - The Shawshank Redemption 157 - The Godfather 154 - Goodfellas 151 - Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back 145 - Raiders of the Lost Ark [Lowest] 89 - Scarface Most Votes - Matchup 77 - The Shawshank Redemption (69) vs. Pan's Labyrinth (8) [2nd Round] 76 - The Big Lebowski (47) vs. Interstellar (29) [2nd Round] 73 - One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (46) vs. Casino (27) [2nd Round] [1st Round] 64 - Raiders of the Lost Ark (58) vs. Annie Hall (6) [2nd Round] 77 - The Shawshank Redemption (69) vs. Pan's Labyrinth (8) [3rd Round] 67 - The Matrix (41) vs. Gladiator (26) Most Votes - Winning Movie 69 - The Shawshank Redemption vs. Pan's Labyrinth (8) [2nd Round] 68 - Back to the Future vs. Like Stars on Earth (0) [2nd Round] 68 - Goodfellas vs. Judgement at Nuremburg (4) [2nd Round] [1st Round] 58 - Back to the Future vs. Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (3) [2nd Round] 69 - The Shawshank Redemption vs. Pan's Labyrinth (8) [3rd Round] 52 - Pulp Fiction vs. Mad Max: Fury Road (10) Most Votes - Losing Movie 33 - Memento vs. Taxi Driver (39) [2nd Round] 33 - Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi vs. Fight Club (33) [3rd Round] 30 - Schindler's List vs. Die Hard (32) [2nd Round] [1st Round] 25 - Unforgiven vs. Blade Runner (27) [2nd Round] 33 - Memento vs. Taxi Driver (39) [3rd Round] 33 - Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi vs. Fight Club (33) Fewest Votes - Matchup 9 - Sunrise (7) vs. 3 Idiots (2) [1st Round] 10 - The Hunt (6) vs. Wild Strawberries (4) [1st Round] 10 - M (10) vs. Come and See (0) [1st Round] [1st Round] 9 - Sunrise (7) vs. 3 Idiots (2) [2nd Round] 24 - Sunsent Boulevard (18) vs. M (6) [3rd Round] 40 - The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring (34) vs. Sunset Boulevard (6) Fewest Votes - Winning Movie 6 - The Hunt vs. Wild Strawberries (4) [1st Round] 7 - Sunrise vs. 3 Idiots (2) [1st Round] 8 - A Separation vs. Incendies (7) [1st Round] [1st Round] 6 - The Hunt vs. Wild Strawberries (4) [2nd Round] 18 - Sunset Boulevard vs. M (6) [3rd Round] 21 - Seven Samurai vs. No Country for Old Men (21) Largest Margin of Victory 68 - Back to the Future (68) vs. Like Stars on Earth (0) [2nd Round] 64 - Goodfellas (68) vs. Judgement at Nuremburg (4) [2nd Round] 61 - The Shawshank Redemption (68) vs. Pan's Labyrinth (8) [2nd Round] [1st Round] 55 - Back to the Future (58) vs. Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (3) [2nd Round] 68 - Back to the Future (68) vs. Like Stars on Earth (0) [3rd Round] 42 - Pulp Fiction (52) vs. Mad Max: Fury Road (10) Smallest Margin of Victory (min. 40 votes) 0 - Fight Club (33) vs. Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (33) [3rd Round] 0 - The Green Mile (29) vs. The Sting (29) [2nd Round] 0 - Some Like it Hot (24) vs. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (24) [1st Round] 0 - Seven Samurai (21) vs. No Country for Old Men (21) [3rd Round] [1st Round] 0 - Some Like it Hot (24) vs. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (24) [2nd Round] 0 - The Green Mile (29) vs. The Sting (29) [3rd Round] 0 - Fight Club (33) vs. Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (33); Seven Samurai (21) vs. No Country for Old Men (21) Biggest Shutout 68-0 - Back to the Future vs. Like Stars on Earth [2nd Round] 53-0 - The Shawshank Redemption vs. The Phantom of the Paradise [1st Round] 53-0 - The Wizard of Oz vs. Sunrise [2nd Round] [1st Round] 53-0 - The Shawshank Redemption vs. The Phantom of the Paradise [2nd Round] 68-0 - Back to the Future vs. Like Stars on Earth [3rd Round] None Biggest "Underdogs" Upsets 235.

Love that this is back. Can't wait for more of the agonizing decisions this will force upon us. Crazy enough, I did not have too much trouble with this one; the only one that gave me pause was The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly versus Silence of the Lambs.
That's probably because I'm not a huge Apocalypse Now guy, though. |

Goodfellas and Apocalypse now was a brutally tough choice for me. Both two of my favorites.

Sigh. Raging Bull is insanely better than Scarface.

I don't and never will understand the love for the Shawshank. It strikes me like a Hallmark prison movie, with the depth of a puddle.

I actually found all of these to be relatively easy decisions. I love Apocalypse Now but voting for Goodfellas remains a no brainer.

To each their own. It is in my top tier of movies I have seen in my life and I find it incredibly inspirational. There are only a couple movies it may not get a vote from me over them.

My inspiration receptors are definitely questionable.

Yep. Same for me. Big Lebowski easily got my vote (it helps that it is one of my favorite movies of all time).

Big Lebowski was utterly unwatchable for me.
