And that finishes it up. Actually I took the liberty of taking it up to 30 films per list by throwing in the following films: The Lives of a Bengal Lancer, 42nd Street, Gone With the Wind, The Testament of Dr. Mabuse, The 39 Steps (30s) and The Bicycle Thief, The Big Sleep, How Green Was My Valley, Yankee Doodle Dandy (40s).
First brackets up in a minute...

The Maltese Falcon
Brief Encounter
There are certainly some films in this tourney that I don't like, but at least there aren't any I haven't seen, so I won't have to abstain, which is nice.

The Maltese Falcon
Abstain
As much as I love The Roaring Twenties, it was too hard for me to vote against the quintessential noir film (and one of Bogart's best performances to boot).
Both of the films in the second match-up interest me, but I haven't seen either one.

and the forties kick ass in round one with great films against two good ones, easy on this round, though I dread some of the eventual matchups.
