As you know, Edith Head worked on an amazing number of films (476 according to IMDB). It seems that practically every time I sit down to watch a classic movie, her name pops up. 
So anyway, here's a tournament of 64 of her films. We're voting on best film, not costumes.
First matchup:
A Place in the Sun vs. All About Eve
"Movies should be like amusement parks. People should go to them to have fun." - Billy Wilder
"Subtitles good. Hollywood bad." - Tarzan, Sight & Sound 2012 voter.
"My films are not slices of life, they are pieces of cake." - Alfred Hitchcock
"My great humility is just one of the many reasons that I am vastly superior to everyone else." - Ramrod Clerk

All About Eve
she was a phenomenal woman. After this, perhaps we should do a Yakuma Canutt tourney? (I know I spelled that wrong but its so late I can't think straight).
