Directors Religion based films tournament (1 Viewer)

The Seventh Seal
The Night Of The Hunter (very, very tough)

 

[Justin_S]

My votes:

The Seventh Seal- Never was a fan of Monty Python, and The Seventh Seal is a brilliant film.
The Devil and Daniel Webster- I love Night of the Hunter, but I love TDADW even more. Loved the story, and thought the film was a brillianty done adaptation. I'm a bit disappointed that my vote is the only one in its favor.

The Seventh Seal and Night of the Hunter advance with 6-1 and 4-1 victories respectively.

I didn't realise this had started. As much as I love The Seventh Seal I would have voted Life of Brian.

Double Abstain on this round.

I'm a big fan of The Devil and Daniel Webster too. Just a tough early round match.

Well, after a two and a half week hiatus from the HTF, I'm back full time. I've been busy, and was only able to pop in a few times a week, but the tournament will now keep chugging on until the end.

My votes for current matches: The Exorcist and Winter Light. I love Black Narcissus as well, while Inherit the Wind is good, but I wouldn't call it great.



Winter Light and Black Narcissus both advance with 3-2 wins.

Match 5
Andrei Rublev

vs.

Kundun

Match 6
Keeping the Faith

vs.

The Rapture

Keeping the Faith

 

[SteveGon]

Andrei Rublev - Slightly more compelling, though I'm not a big fan of either film.

The Rapture - Easy choice, though KTF is enjoyable fare.

abstain, haven't seen either one

 

[Lew Crippen]

Andrei Rublev--though I do admire Kunden.

 

[Justin_S]

My votes:

Abstain- no Kundun.

The Rapture- One of my top 10 favorite films. Also, while I like Ben Stiller, I think Keeping the Faith is one of his weakest films.

Andrei Rublev delivers a shutout 4-0 victory, while The Rapture advances 4-2.
