If you're having a movie competition that doesn't include The Big Lebowski, The Shawshank Redemption or The Jerk, then I'd say you're running the NIT of movie tournaments.

No Godfather movies (even after addressing them as split in your initial post)?
No Dr. Strangelove or 2001 or Clockwork or anything Kubrick?

Forrest Gump, anyone?

I would agree with Darky here. Although I don't know if i ever saw the Jerk. I think he is including Godfather I & II as one entry. Not sure about the others.

I really hate movie competitions that are heavily weighted for new movies. There should be a 5 year wait period to avoid recency effect. Kinda like with the hall of fame.

Also, I vote for Goodfellas.

I love Inception, Sin City, and Watchmen.

I really think the original poster should release the entire list first. There are a lot of amazing award winning movies that haven't been mentioned, and if they aren't included it would be a shame. Not that this tournament really means anything.

Some worth mentioning:

Amadeus
2001: A Space Odyssey
Casablanca
The Pianist
West Side Story

Just to name a few...

Well, I've got the 64, will post the bracket and first two matches later today in a new thread.
After some thought the only series left seperate was The Godfather and The Godfather Part II, all others were combined into a single entry.

Hope it is acceptable though I'm sure there are some that were deserving but got left out.

I'm ok with you questioning most of those- but seriously The Lion King?!?
