[ChuckDeLa]

BTW, will this be including fantasy films (like LOTR, Dark Crystal, etc) or strictly sci-fi? The two often get lumped together.

 

[Justin_S]

In.

 

[Rich Malloy]

Time to lose another one--count me in if there's room!

 

[Jeff Gross]

Just sci-fi for this one.

 

[Chris_Richard]

Sure, i'm in

 

[Walter Kittel]

Well, I'm certain I'll disagree about what does and does not constitute SF ( with some thread participants); but I'll give this one a go. ( I'm assuming you'll go 1-8, 8-1 in the rounds. )

- Walter.

 

[Jeff Gross]

I'm going to keep the definition of sci-fi pretty liberal for this tournament allowing people to select any of the films commonly considered sci-fi, not just "hard" sci-fi.

 

[SteveGon]

I'm in. Should be interesting.

 

[JenB]

Sounds like fun. I am in too.

 

[Jeff Gross]

That's 8. Let's go

First Pick:
The Matrix

Next Up
ChuckDeLa
Justin_S
Rich Malloy

 

[ChuckDeLa]

Although I risk losing my shot at one of the good Star Wars films, I can't possibly do without this one: 2001: A Space Odyssey.

 

[Justin_S]

DARK CITY

 

[Rich Malloy]

Well, damn, Chuck. I wanted that one...

So, I'll take Kubrick's second-greatest sci-fi film, A CLOCKWORK ORANGE.

 

[Chris_Richard]

Blade Runner

 

[ChuckDeLa]

next up:
Walter
Steve
Jen (x2)

 

[Walter Kittel]

The Day The Earth Stood Still

- Walter.

 

[SteveGon]

I'll take Forbidden Planet.

 

[JenB]

My first two picks are: The Empire Strikes Back and the original Star Wars.

Back to you, SteveGon.
