[Brook K]

I've only seen 7 of these so I don't think I'll be voting too much in this one.

 

[SteveGon]

Only seven? I'm shocked!
I've seen them all, though with most of them it was years ago. What I wouldn't give for a nice, big Humphrey Bogart DVD boxed-set...

The Petrified Forest

The Caine Mutiny
The Maltese Falcon
This may have been the easiest group of pairings I've ever seen in a tournament! All were slam-dunks for me.

Yeah, pretty easy....for now.
Actually, I though Bracket 7 was a little tough...

[Jay E]

The Enforcer
The Big Sleep
Sahara (a personal favorite)
The African Queen

 

[SteveGon]

Sahara (a personal favorite)

Same here.
To Have and Have Not is a lot of fun, but it's a bit over-rated in my opinion.
On the other hand, Sahara is my kind of war movie - tough, tightly-paced, and no trite romance mucking things up!

 

[Gabe D]

The Big Sleep

 

[Jeff_A]

The Big Sleep
To Have and Have Not
The African Queen
