Votings closed. Results in a minute.

1. The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) (One of my favorite movies of all time; blew away it's competitor here.)

2. Three Musketeers (Richard Lester version 1973) (another of my favorite movies of all time; not even close.)

3. Monty Python & the Holy Grail (1975) (Thought Excalibur was pretty goofy, actually.)

4. Camelot (1967) (blegh, didn't particularly like either. At least Camelot had better songs...)

5. Indiana Jones & the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) (Another of my favorite movies of all time. Not to fond of the retroactive retitling, though.)

6. Phantom of the Opera (Andrew Lloyd Webber version 2004)

7. Pale Rider (1985)

8. Hellboy (2004)

9. Little Shop of Horrors (1980) (Didn't particularly like either, but at least I don't loathe Little Shop of Horrors like I do Rocky Horror Picture Show.)

10. “Manos”, the Hands of Fate (1966) (We're supposed to pick movies we like, right? Lots of options in this category were more like "which of the two do I hate least?" while others, ironically, pitted some of my favorite movies ever against weak competition.)

EDIT: Whoops! Didn't notice I was too late.

Oh well, I'll leave the post up anyway.

12. Highway 61 (1991) defeats Cold Feet (1989) 1-0-19


Now. I few things about this round. I threw out a few movies from Tonguez list because they where not in the theme of the contest. I am going to have to again in this list. While Zorro, Robin Hood, and the Musketeers moves where great swashbuckling fun, I cannot let them in for the same reason. High Plains Drifter and Pale Rider both have supernatural elements so I am letting them in. Please stay with the theme. I know you have favorite movies and I love Zorro, Robin Hood, and The Three Musketeers myself but watch it!

What are you going to do to replace the the movies dropped in order to keep the brackets even?

Since he posted 10 matches we still got 8 from that round. But we are still 4 movies short at the moment. I will make up any movies needed by adding matches to round 8.

 

[Wombat]

Hmmm, given the guidelines as interpreted, then, I would also suggest dropping the Phantom of the Opera matchup -- there are absolutely no supernatural, science fiction, or magical elements to those films, only a disfigured man. At that point these movies should not count, if swashbucklers do not count.

And the reason I put in 10 match-ups was simply because we had seemed to be "down" a few due to earlier removals.

 

[Wombat]

Woohoo! Another shutout! In yo face, Cold Feet!

Daniel

Actually, Dan, I highly recommend you find and watch Cold Feet, if you have not done so already. This probably has Tom Waits best on-screen role, as a hitman who wants to be an office executive.
