12 Angry Men is so good. It's amazing how much they did in that movie with such a small cast.

The Dirty Dozen is also a great movie which I recently re-watched and it holds up extremely well. It's a shame that I seem to be the only one who thinks so highly of it, though. It's  one of my 20 favorite movies and already in danger of being knocked out in the first match of the first round.

I just love ensemble movies where the cast has such great chemistry with each other. I love 12 Angry Men as well, and IMO TDD's cast is on par with that movie, which is saying a lot, but it's true.

I suppose I can't complain about what goes through from this match since all of them are great movies. I can, however, blame CX for putting them all in the same match so early on, though. :>

He's going to use that fucking "random generator" excuse again. :bleh:

Anyway, I'm going to be watching at least two of these movies tonight and then vote.

The generator does what it does, GSF. ::)

I dunno if I'll be able to vote on these matches at this point, since the only movie I've seen in either of these is 12 Angry Men. I'm going to try and find and watch the other three in the first match tonight so I can vote on it before I move us along, though.

Three movies in one night? Damn! I feel like you'd be burned out by the time that you got to the third movie.

I viewed 12 Angry Men earlier. After I watch The Name Of The Rose early today, I'll vote.

You're going to love my selections then. :sly:

Although honestly, you can remove my nominations from the tournament if you want. I will probably not be able to participate much, if at all.

Dr. Ensatsu-ken

It seems a bit too late to pull any nominations. Besides, you nominated some great movies. Even if you don't vote, yourself, it's worth sticking around to see how far your choices make it. ;)

Hey, CX, it's been a week.

Hey, CX, start the next round already.

Hey, CX, isn't it annoying to be pestered to get this thing moving when you're probably more preoccupied with more important stuff?

Hey, CX, does this remind you of anything? :>
