The Vanishing
Blue Velvet - One of my favorites.
abstain
abstain - Frankly I can't decide. I've alternated between the two films and reasons why for the last 10 minutes only to erase this part of the post and enter the other choice. Two great films that both deserve to advance beyond this round.

- Walter.

Body Heat
Charade
Chinatown

 

[SteveGon]

Argh. Poor Holly. :frowning:

As per usual, no new matchups on Sunday. This will also give those who voted for Chinatown time to change their votes.

Steve, I feel your pain, but you need to blame the guy running this tournament who pitted a great film like The Third Man against such great competition.

 

[SteveGon]

My votes:

The Vanishing
Blue Velvet - Kinda tough.
The 39 Steps
The Third Man

FWIW, I DO like Chinatown.

 

[SteveGon]

The Vanishing wins 5 - 1.
Blue Velvet wins 9 - 0. Guess Keyzer Soze ain't such a bad-ass after all.
The 39 Steps wins 6 - 4.
Chinatown wins 6 - 5. It's Vienna, Holly. :frowning:

The Thin Man

Tenebrae- Extremely tough! I love both so much that the deciding factor was which one had the better score.

Swimming Pool- Another extremely tough one. I just couldn't decide here, so I flipped a coin.

Don't Look Now- Finally, an easy one.
