Mega-Tornament Blow-out: The Best Film of the Last 35 Years. (1 Viewer)

Here's the rules:
- 256 films
- Film must be made 1967 or after
- To vote, you have to have seen BOTH films that are going against each other.
- Each person gets 9 nominations, 7 seconds, and 7 thirds.
- To be in the tournament, a film has to be thirded.
Hopefully this will have a more unpredictable ending than the best film of all time will, because it will eliminate some of the "classics". Happy voting
EDIT: I didn't even notice that I mistyped tournament. I wish I could change that :frowning:
