Well, Lew, there's only one film on this list that I absolutely hate (Cries & Whispers). When I say I don't like them, I mean I have no desire to own or ever watch them again. Some I found boring (e.g., LOA), others piss me off philosophically (e.g., Do the Right Thing), others are great movies with such a bad ending that the entire movie is ruined (e.g., Blow Up) and some just have bad acting IMO (e.g., Gone with the Wind).

 

[Cary T]

I'm left with Cries & Whispers, Sunrise, and Titanic.
I haven't see Cries & Whispers and I'll just about take anything over Titanic so...I'll take Sunrise.

 

[SteveGon]

Well, this is what I get for not paying attention.
Haven't seen Sunrise, so I'll take Titanic.
Hey, it really ain't a bad flick...

 

[george kaplan]

[Matt Stone]

[ErikG]

Damn you for taking High Noon

It's Walters fault, he took what would have been my first choice

 

[Gabe D]

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

 

[ChuckDeLa]

Damn, the only two I've seen (Blazing Saddles, Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid) are already taken.
I'll take A Fistful Of Dollars

 

[Walter Kittel]

Yeah, it's my fault.
One interesting aspect of this tournament is the almost snap decision you have to make when George posts the new list. ( Thought process.... Should I take this one, or that one. Hurry, hurry before someone else picks this film ) This is aggravated by the quality selections available in each round. I've picked early in each round so far, and I've been torn between 3 or 4 films in each case.
- Walter.

There's only a couple of westerns in this pool that I don't like, but I included them because they're very popular with others. Surprisingly, neither has been taken yet.
