Lew, you abstained twice this round
Falling Down wins, 7-4. Round 1, Bracket 6
How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying vs Ikiru
I abstain, haven't seen How to Succeed.
These films are so similar it's like voting for your favorite in a pair of twins*
How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying
* - I'm joking in case it's not obvious to anyone.
Watching Robert Morse rise to the top is a treat. Watching Watanabe-san do nothing is heart-rending. Ikiru
Hey Chuck, can I vote twice in this round, since I abstained twice in the last one?
Ikiru - whew! Glad I checked in. Not to take away from How To Succeed, which is a great deal of fun, but Ikiru is one of the greatest films ever made. I'm all over the upcoming Criterion release.
