[Adam_S]

Royal Tenenbaums advances 5-3 (sad!, I love both too, but POTC is one for the ages)
Finding Nemo advances 4-2
Spirited Away advances 7-1
Far From Heaven advances 5-0 (I'd have voted for Chicago, I've had to see Far From Heaven twice, and got quite soured the second time, liked it the first time)

Lew, here's one you can definitely add to your tournament.

Amelie

Vanilla Sky

 

[Jan H]

Amelie
The 25th Hour
Mulholland Drive
Gangs of New York

 

[Marc Fedderman]

Amélie

Mulholland Drive


High marks for Adaptation and Vanilla Sky as well.

George,
Is there a place in your shit list tourney for Mulholland Drive?

 

[SteveGon]

Amelie
The 25th Hour
Mulholland Dr.
Irreversible

 

[Lew Crippen]

The Hours

Gangs of New York

 

[george kaplan]

Well, it's Lew's tourney...but, the answer is no. I have some problems with Mulholland Dr., and think that it's got some major flaws, but it inspires more of sadness (of what could have been), than anger or hatred in me.

 

[Bill McA]

The Hours
25th Hour - hard choice
Mulholland Dr.
Irreversible

 

[Brook K]

The Hours

25th Hour (there's no "THE")

Mulholland Dr.

Gangs of New York (though more a vote against Irreversible than for Gangs)

 

[Adam_S]

btw, after this tourney I've planned out a tourney for best cinematography based off the films highlighted in "Visions of Light" I had to eliminate some films I didn't think would make it all the way, as there were 93 features from Birth of a Nation onward featured in the film.

 

[SteveGon]

I voted Irreversible, though I can't say that I'm fond of either film. As ugly as Irreversible is, I felt it succeeded more on its own terms than did GONY (which should have been great but turned out rather pedestrian).

 

[Bill McA]

And I voted for Irreversible because I thought that it was simply fantastic!

 

[Adam_S]

Amelie advances 4 to 3
25th Hour advances 4 to 0
Mulhullond Dr. advances 5 to 1
Gangs of New York advances 3 to 2
