From everyones comments it looks like 4 people have seen Ivan vs. the 2 that's seen Day. Since a bracket needs 3 votes to count then that qualifies Ivan for a second match but not Day since it would be impossible for it to advance with only 2 people having seen it. Besides I needed another...

Arman thanks for the compliments. Blowup is a British film (I already did a British film tournament) which is why I didn't include it. I should have indicated it earlier though sorry. Matchups will be difficult at times as I don't rank these films but rather try to pick interesting...

Fair enough Lew. I've only seen a handful of Bergman's films but for me SS is one of the better films of it's type. I was also a bit underwhelmed with Blue. My votes The Leopard The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari Abstain - only seen part of UOC Abstain - no CITA M Abstain Abstain - no...

Yes I'll be tossing films that the majority of the voters haven't seen. If a match doesn't get at least 3 votes one or both of the films will get tossed (depending on how many people have seen each film)

My votes Soldier of Orange - close Abstain Metropolis (1927) - easily Abstain - no ARLI Big Deal on Madonna Street - easily. I was very underwhelmed by Mon Oncle. I just don't understand all this fuss over Tati. :confused: Abstain Abstain - no TMUTMD. Abstain - no MWTMC Soldier of...

John, I updated my first post with everyones auto's, noms, etc. Sorry if that threw you off. You do have 4 Nominations left. 0 autos & you still have 12 each of 2nd's & 3rd's as the ones you used were already in. As for the 4 Director rule it looks like thats out the door as it's...

list updated The Unbearable Lightness of Being is not a European film so I'm tossing it.

John, Welcome to the tourney. As Simon pointed out it's 12 of each & the films on the Master List are already in so there's no need to second & third any of them.

EUROPEAN FILM TOURNAMENT Might as well finish off a World Cinema Trilogy Theatrical Releases only European films only (British films are excluded from this one) Joint Euro/US productions do not qualify I’ve started us out with 50 films but I think we can make 128 fairly easily...
