If I held a greatest movie tournament who would be interested in participating/voting?
I'd probably need at least 10+ people to make it worthwhile.
It'd be a 64 movie bracket and I would hold 2 matches a day until the Elite 8.
It would take about 40 days figuring on me maybe missing a day or two for various reasons.
When setting up the bracket I would try to seed properly, while avoiding first or second round matchups between similar movies or movies in the same series.
Voting Process would be simple enough, I would update the first post in the thread with who won the last matchups and what the new matchups were and then you'd post your 2 votes for the day.

Some series I have split up, while others I have put together as one entry. Shown Below

Split Series
Toy Story- I and III, no II
Star Wars- the original trilogy, not the newer 3
Lord of the Rings- all 3
Indiana Jones- Temple of Doom and Raiders of the Lost Ark
The Godfathers- I and II

Combined Series
Spider Man
The Oceans movies
James Bond
The Matrix
Jurassic Park

I tried to be balanced as far as which eras and types of movies they were, though they probably are slightly favored towards newer movies.
So far I have 51 sure entries, here are my nominations for the final 13, feel free to back any of them or make your own nominations. Don't assume that a movie will be in my sure 51, unless listed above in the series list, so nominate away.

Up
Wall-E
American Pyscho
The Exorcist
Black Swan
Inception
Temple of Doom
Sin City
The Watchmen
The Shootist
Goodfellas
Fantasia 2000
Blade Runner
American Graffiti
Jaws

Hmm, have never seen Point Break and The Notebook is a good suggestion.
Can anyone else vouch for this Point Break?

Best movie ever. It has Keanu Reeves, Patrick Swayze, and Gary Busey. Nothing but greatness there my friend.

Oh, I guess I have seen it, I just didn't know its name. And yep it's a good movie, will wait to hear word from others before it's in for sure though.

Note that all nominees accepted at this point will most likely be lower seeds. In the 10+ range.

Point Break was good ;-)

I have to admit, my all time favorite movie is Hitch.....Also, no Die Hard Movies on your list?
