I guess if most here can agree on 1 that absolutely doesn't deserve it's bid it could still be switched out, same for Tombstone.

13 and 5

How Private Ryan is only a 13 is beyond me.

I just don't like John Wayne movies.

Saving Private Ryan and The Shining get my votes.

Saving Private Ryan and Avatar. Avatar has to get the nod even though it is so recent because it is one of those benchmark movies that lead to a whole new viewing pleasure. Titanic and jurrasic park were like this. Terminator 2 when it came out. Star Wars. Generational movies.

Droids: so because of this thread I took the wife out to see black swan. Never in a million years would I have said I would come out of the movie liking it more than my wife. It was pretty damn good. I don't know if it should make the bracket but pretty damn good.

Tombstone is a good western, but I'd say Once Upon a Time in the West is truly a top caliber movie that just happens to be a western. Outlaw Josie Wales is also a favorite and a darn good movie.

Heat is good. What about the Professional?

Jurassic Park? Come on. Mediocre movie based on a good book. The idea of the movie is what everyone likes.

- Day 2 -

For matchup 1: abstain from 4 versus 13. I do not really enjoy westerns and war movies so I hope to not skew the votes either way.

For matchup 2: 5 (Avatar) - over 12 (The Shining).

Day 2 matchups cut across very clear genre categories though, thus genre preference rather than the specific movies motivate my vote.
