Northern Group

#1 Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring (2001)

#3 Indiana Jones & the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)


Eastern Group

#1 Alien (1979)

#2 Aliens (1986)

All out cannibalism in the elite eight in this bracket ....


Southern Group

#5 Princess Bride (1987)

#7 Planet of the Apes (1968)


Western Group

#1 Blade Runner (1982)

#3 Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back (1980)

I'm already anticipating a legendary clash of Empire vs. Fellowship in the final, though Blade Runner is arguably the best film of the three.

*sigh* I keep forgetting to check this forum.

TV, both Nosferatu and Shadow of the Vampire

And I believe I also saw a version with Klaus Kinski once.

Yep. Isabelle Adjani is in it, too. I've only seen that version once, though.

Jaws, I love the fact that I live two blocks from the Times Theater. I get to drag my kids to things like King Kong and Creature from the Black Lagoon (in 3-D).

Wombat, I, too, loved Shadow of the Vampire (Willem Dafoe was robbed at the Oscars, but that's par for the course).

And, to all, I apologize for The Matrix beating City of Lost Children--it's my fault for not having seen CoLC and, thus, voting for TM. Mea culpa. Mea maxima culpa. I will see this movie--just as soon as the theatre next door shows it again.
