Its a solid list, although its definitely a "safe" one. Its all mainstream, and the only film I haven't watched is Neko no Ongaeshi. Just read about it, and its a cartoon about some teen girl that talks to cats. I'll be avoiding that like the bubonic plague. Too bad that's the only film to represent foreign films in this tournament.

Technically speaking, isn't The Good the Bad and the Ugly considered foreign?  The cat film sounds at least interesting.  If there's enough people interested, maybe we could do a foreign film tournament?

Neemo, I think two days would be a good time period in between matchups.  This is more time consuming than the music one to be honest.  That and a couple of films on this list are long.

Yeah, but you can't go too far out there with it. Or you'll have matchups that'll be lopsided, with people voting for movies simply because they're familiar with them, and haven't seen the other, more obscure one.

I could have nominated a Hungarian movie, but since nobody but me saw it here, I said Life of Brian instead.

Re: GnREvolution Movie Madness - Discussion and Results Thread

Neko no Ongaeshi is brilliant and it's one of my favorite movies, hence why I nominated it.

Maybe it wasn't a good choice for this particular tournament but...

I'd highly recommend people to see it.
