Re: The Best Film of 2005 Tournament
I have seen some of these films. Just none that have been matched up against each other yet.

Abstain - don't care to see The Producers, but Downfall is amazing.
Munich - I loved Jarhead, but Munich is my #1 film of 2005.
Abstain - seen neither.

Re: The Best Film of 2005 Tournament
Advancing
Syriana advances over Transporter 2 - 1-1/coinflip (while I didn't think Syriana was exceptional, Transporter 2 was a step down from the surprisingly good original)
Millions beats Everything is Illuminated - 1-0
The Best of Youth advances over The Beat That My Heart Skipped - 1-0 (I break the tie. Beat is good drama, BOY is great storytelling and one of the best films I saw last year)
The Corpse Bride beats Chicken Little - 2-0 (2nd vote comes from my seven yr old daughter, Bailey)
The Aristocrats beats Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room - 1-1/coinflip (While I initially rated these equally, I think in light of the government actually getting a guilty verdict, it gives Enron added importance as a historical document. Aristocrats was a really good idea nearly killed by overediting, though it still manages to be quite funny in sequences)
The Bad News Bears over Wedding Crashers - 2-0 (the first result I really disagree with. WC was a solid hour of laugh till it hurts hilarity though the last 30-40m does drop off. I saw BNB as another crap remake, but the majority speaks)
Munich over Jarhead - 4-1 (haven't seen Jarhead)
Next Round (if you haven't noticed already, many (though not all, some are random) of these matchups are based on a shared theme)

Downfall tied 0-0 with The Producers

Re: The Best Film of 2005 Tournament
The Constant Gardener
*edit*
Mysterious Skin (Just watched it this morning -- excellent! "Breakfast on Pluto" was a big disappointment for me, with an eventually annoying Cillian Murphy performance. )

Re: The Best Film of 2005 Tournament
It looks like the ones I have seen are losing, so it's quite possible I may not get to vote even once in this tourney.
