And your winner of the tournament:


Stanley Kubrick
with a score of 7 - 5

This is who I thought would be the winner, and I can live with this choice. Thank you folks for participating. If you folks will take the time, take a look over the results on the first page.

Please feel free to add any comments on how well (or awful) I ran this tourney.

Dome,

Everything was good about the tournament except for the final outcome.

Brought back at his peak, we could expect to get 9 films in 7 years, including 4 masterpieces, 4 great films, and 1 dud from Hitchcock.

Kubrick at his peak would take 39 years to give us 9 films, including 2 masterpieces, 2 great films, 2 decent films and 3 duds.

All in my opinion and statistical analyses of the data of course .

But even Kubrick's duds were interesting.

I haven't seen the docs or Fear And Desire, but I've never seen a "dud" from Kubrick and would describe all but a couple as great. I can't say the same for Hitchcock.

Obviously, I'm pleased with the outcome. Thanks for the tournament Dome.

George, just out of curiosity, which one was the dud?

I'd consider The Wrong Man to be a dud. It's not horrible by any means, but compared to the films surrounding it, I consider it a dud.

I'd rather have 1 more Kubrick film, which would undoubtedly be something like he'd never done before, than 5 more Hitchcocks, which would probably be in the same vein as all his other stuff. I dearly love Hitchcock, but Kubrick's career feels far more "incomplete".
