Round 1: Match 21
M http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/...CLZZZZZZZ_.jpg The serial killer movie that started it all. And it allowed the long stretches of silence even when Sound pictures, or "talkies" as we insiders call them, were still relatively new and people jammed sound in everywhere. It didn't just have sound in the movie. It used sound. The whistling, the girls name being called out over and over again. And who could forget the imagery implying that first death in the movie? The empty place at the table, that balloon hitting the power lines. And there's Peter Lorre owning every scene he's in. VS http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/...CLZZZZZZZ_.jpg One of the iconic anime horror movies (of which there are oddly few). It was a toss-up which I was going to put in between this and VHD: Bloodlust, but this one barely made it over the other. Great animation, and a weird face on D's hand. |

Havent been able to see either yet (though both are very high on my Ziplist), so for now I'll have to go with M, based on the fact that Im a big fan of Lorre and as a rule Im not too fond of anime.

Round 1: Match 22
Nightmare Before Christmas http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/...CLZZZZZZZ_.jpg While a lot of the fanbase of this movie annoys me (which you could easily say about Scarface, too, anyways), the movie its self is practically a classic already. The character designs are unique, the writing is solid, and the musical numbers are not irksome, which is more than one can say for 90% of the rest of the musicals made. VS Minority Report http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/...CLZZZZZZZ_.jpg Remember when Tom Cruise wasn't blatantly crazy, and made movies that were actually good? I miss those days. Those were good days. This was also during Spielbergs weird sci-fi movie period, which turned out the dreadful AI, but I think this one definately makes up for it. Good effects, good action scenes, and a good supporting performance by pre-Alexander Colin Farrel. |

Round 1: Match 23
Visions of Light: The Art of Cinematography http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/...CLZZZZZZZ_.jpg It's all about the best cinematography in movies, so if nothing else, it looks a hell of a lot better than your average flick. Might not be the most interesting thing to watch for the average movie-goer, but if you're big into movies and moviemaking, this is definately one to check out. VS Casablanca http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/...CLZZZZZZZ_.jpg I could just leave it at the title and cover- hell, I could leave it at the title, and I wouldn't have to say another word. For my money, this is the best movie currently in the tournament, since Taxi Driver got eliminated in the qualifying rounds. Bogart, Bergman, Claude Reins, As Time Goes By, that dialogue, everything about this movie, really. It's Casablanca. |
It is a shame about Taxi Driver (can't TD just take The Departed's spot?) Anyway, Casablanca.
|
if there's some big voter outcry for Taxi Driver to take Departed's spot, I guess I wouldn't see the harm in it, but I'm not just gonna arbitrarily replace one movie with another.

Well, I haven't seen Visions of Light, but it certainly looks like it'd be more interesting than Casablanca, because that just didn't do much for me.

Round 1: Match 24
Psycho http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/...97e17010.L.jpg Possibly the most iconic horror movie of all time, up there with Jaws or Night of the Living Dead. The music was tone-perfect, the mid-film twist was well done, and Anthony Perkins is top-notch, creating a twitchy, nervous little man that he would later perfect in Orson Welle's The Trial. Not the best horror movie ever, but very few are better. VS Super Size Me http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/...CLZZZZZZZ_.jpg Sure, if you eat nothing but McDonalds for a month, your health is gonna go to shit. This movie may not tell us anything any rational person wouldn't already know, but it seems pretty anti-McDonalds, and that's always a good thing. The selling point is that the guy in question seems pretty likeable, so the viewer can actually get behind him a little. |
