Round 1 - Bracket 4

A Clockwork Orange vs. Unforgiven



Kubrick Quote:

"I've got a peculiar weakness for criminals and artists - neither takes life as it is. Any tragic story has to be in conflict with things as they are."

 

[Rob Tomlin]

I'll vote for the masterpiece that is:

A Clockwork Orange

in a very easy choice.

 

[Walter Kittel]

A Clockwork Orange - one of the most frequently watched, and quoted, films in my collection.

- Walter.

 

[Bill McA]

A Clockwork Orange

 

[Lew Crippen]

A Clockwork Orange

I can see I'm going to be on the losing side of every matchup in this tourney.

Unforgiven- I like Clockwork Orange a lot, but this is almost as easy a choice as the last one was.

 

[Rob Tomlin]

I can see I'm going to be on the losing side of every matchup in this tourney.

Perhaps if you had better taste in movies, this wouldn't happen!

:p)

 

[Bill J]

Unforgiven

 

[Brook K]

tough but A Clockwork Orange

I figured you'd beat me Bill. I got the Newsweek question right but missed Time Magazine, the movie Kubrick had nothing to do with, and the actor not considered for EWS.

 

[Elizabeth S]

A Clockwork Orange

 

[george kaplan]

No, if I had more mainstream HTF taste this wouldn't happen. But then again, I'd rather be right than in the majority.

 

[Rob Tomlin]

But then again, I'd rather be right than in the majority.

Me too!

Of course, in this case, I get to be both right and in the majority!

 

[Nick Sievers]

A Clockwork Orange - Hate to vote against Unforgiven as I think it is one of the best Westerns ever made.

 

[Cary T]

A Clockwork Orange

 

[Steeve Bergeron]

A Clockwork Orange

 

[Ric Bagoly]

A Clockwork Orange-not hard at all...

 

[Kirk Tsai]

Unforgiven

 

[Jim_K]

Unforgiven

 

[SteveGon]

My vote: Unforgiven - Very tough.

Clint Eastwood takes it on the chin as A Clockwork Orange wins 10 - 5.


A double-header for the weekend:

Paths of Glory vs. Rashomon


Round 1 - Bracket 6

Killer's Kiss vs. Rear Window


Kubrick Quote:

If you can talk brilliantly about a problem, it can create the consoling illusion that it has been mastered.

 

[Jim_K]

Paths of Glory - by a hair

Rear Window - easily
