This round has got one of the most vicious matchups of the tourney, these two films should be duking it out for the top title, imo.

[Jim_K]

The Big Lebowski - Never understood the appeal of Strange Brew
Stripes
This is Spinal Tap
Dr. Strangelove

 

[Lew Crippen]

Some Like it Hot



And here I have a major complaint with the selection committee’s seeding. No way should these two be meeting this early.

Animal House

A Christmas Story

Dr. Strangelove, Or:...

Lew, I couldn't agree more. These are both top 10 films of all time in my opinion, and the 2nd and 3rd greatest comedies ever made as far as I'm concerned. Definitely bad seeding (especially considering some of the very unfunny comedies in this tournament :frowning: )

 

[Bill McA]

Strange Brew - Lebowski not broad enough
National Lampoon's Animal House - don't think either of these films to be funny
This is Spinal Tap
Dr. Strangelove, Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and LOVE the Bomb

Agreed!!
