The Best Movie of All Time Tournament - Nominations

[Mattrick]

This idea is simple. We'll compile a list of movies from nominations as chosen by all of us. I put them in a groups and we have polls in groups, maybe five days or a week apart, in which we vote on which on we like the best. We'll probably start 128 as there are so many. That number will be chopped in half and the chopped in half again until one one remains. The polls will start off with Eight movies and the top four move on. When were down to 32 the polls will have Four movies with the top two continuing. Final 8 or 16 will be head to head battles.

In the end we'll have annointed the greatest movie of all time.

The rules are simple:

1. A movie can only be nominated once. We don't need 15 people saying Blade Runner lol

2. Nominate two movies per post, number them in sequence from the last post.

3. You have to wait until at least five other people have made nominations before you can nominate again.

4. Ties will result in a separate poll open for only one day.


When this is done there will be a Best Movie Character of All Time Tournament which is a favourite of mine. Pitting Ash, Jack Sparrow, Agent Smith, Khan and Indiana Jones in a battle for supremacy.

36. Almost Famous
37. As Good As It Gets.

By the way, did the NCAA tournament give you this idea?

lol, no. A final fantasy forum I frequent used to do things like this years back. Best Movie Character, Sexiest Actor/Actress and stuff like that. Also my favourite Canadian sports channel - The Score - has done something similar. They had Greatest Performance and Greatest highlight but it that perfectly followed the NCAA bracket format, 1 on 1 starting with 64. I think that would take too long, so the first few rounds are quicker with larger groups.

Jean, I thankya for trying to get the numbers correct but I guess I'm not going to worry about it from a copy/paste perspective. Only reason I even ask for it is so we don't have to manually count them so we know when we're up.


Only 48 more movies to go. Looks like the tournament will start Monday.

didnt update the browser i guess

[jemaher]

can we keep going?
if so;
101 Sin city
102 hitman

[jemaher]

93. The Matrix (the original, not 2&3)
94. Million Dollar Baby

the original matrix is in the fabric of our dna! 2 and three were clearly inferior and probably rushed into production to capitalize on the popularity of the first... not unlike back to the future and it's sequels

[Heather19]

103. Kill Bill (Vol 1)
104. Kill Bill (Vol 2)

not sure if you really want to count them separately?

[HanzouNorak]

105.20,000 Leagues under the sea disney version (not a kids movie!!!)
106.Dog Day Afternoon

[RUBE]

can we keep going?
if so;
101 Sin city
102 hitman


Yes, we can keep going until we get to 128. However, Mattrick asked us to wait for five other people to post picks before posting again. I am sure he will keep yours but I just wanted to point that out.

Oh, and since it has been more than that since I put two up...

107. Aliens
108. Pleasantville

[devo133]

109 National Lampoon's European Vacation
110 Peewee's Big Adventure

[Jean]

111. The Man Who Would Be King
112. Spellbound

[Mattrick]

To whomever said The Lion King, no laughter from me. It's still the greatest animated movie of all time.

jemaher, you posted those two movies too soon I'll do you one good and add Sin City. Not infringing on movie taste but I don't think I can morally add Hitman to the list. :cry:

Whomever nominated Kill Bill I joined them together as it was meant to be one movie but the studios wanted more money so they split it up. If people could watch Gone With The Wind back in 1939 in theatres they can watch something fast paced like Kill Bill all at once. Part 2 is awesome.

[Mattrick]

I know I won't get any other input and I've only put in 6 movies so if anyone is opposed to me nominated 4 here let met know.

Also, could someone double check the list in the OP to make sure there is no repeats and the numbers are right? Can't have an extra movie due to double numbers.

RUBE, I'm just going to put them all at random. Match them up like that. I would've done it by Genre but not enough of each. Don't worry, I'll have smaller ones for horror/comedy/action movies at some point. I'm sure this tournament will come down to hardcore dramas anyways.

113. Deliverance
114. Donnie Darko
115. The Godfather
116. Letters From Iwo Jima

This should leave 12 more. I'll decide the brackets tonight after Wrestlemania maybe, if not it will all be up tomorrow. I'll probably put the first two or three groups on.

[Heather19]

Looks good Mattrick. And I'm fine with Kill Bill being combined. I always saw it as 1 film anyways.

[jayson]

Looks good Mattrick. And I'm fine with Kill Bill being combined. I always saw it as 1 film anyways.

so did QT as intended. he'd have preferred it not split in half. it should be considered as one film. good nomination Heather!

so forgive me if i missed either of these above...

117. The Magnificent Seven
118. The Princess Bride

[Brice]

119. Eraserhead

120. It's A Wonderful Life

[jayson]

119. Eraserhead


excellent Brice!

[Heather19]

You beat me Brice, I just came in to post It's a Wonderful Life!

121. Triplets of Belleville
122. The Green Mile

[Brice]

123. Jacob's Ladder

124. Fantasia

[Odetta]

Casino

[RUBE]

126. Die Hard
127. Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring

(If I could pick the last one I would go with Full Metal Jacket.)

[Brice]

128. Full Metal Jacket

[RUBE]

119. Eraserhead

120. It's A Wonderful Life


I just noticed that It's a Wonderful Life has already been picked, so there is actually a pick left.

(I would take Sixth Sense. Hey it worked once.)

[Brice]

Dawn Of The Dead

[RUBE]

Then that does it. Now we just wait for the tournament to start.

[HanzouNorak]

if Brince is ok with it, can we replace Dawn of the Dead with Night Of The Living Dead (black and white version)? it was the ground breaker and i think it deserves the spot more than ether of the DoDs.

but it is ur choice Brice

[Girlystevedave]

130. Dogma

131. Half Baked

[Brice]

I'd already considered it and while I'd agree that NotLD was more groundbreaking DotD was the better film.

[Kevin]

130. Dogma

131. Half Baked

Sorry Girlystevedave, I think this one ended at 128. :(

[Girlystevedave]

Oh...my bad

[Mattrick]

Dawn Of The Dead

Original or remake? I love the remake myself but the original is good too.

[Brice]

I love the remake too, even though I usually hate them. In this case I meant the original though.

[Mattrick]

126. Die Hard
127. Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring

(If I could pick the last one I would go with Full Metal Jacket.)

Mega props for nominated Fellowship. It's imo, far and away the best LotR movie. It didn't need massive battles and crazy CGI to be great.

[Mattrick]

Elimation Stips:

Each bracket will be split in half until only one in each remains. Then the final sixteen will be fought in one on one battles until there is only one.

[Jean]

Brice: I've already nominated It's a Wonderful Life, it's my all-time favorite.

You're count is off. The count is at 128 and voting has begun. :)

[Ikilledthecrimsonking]

ok

[Brice]

There are other threads set up where you can begin voting.

[feverishparade]

I'm an idiot, I just read that part where it says that you can suggest movies more than once. No Terminator 2 :(

[Girlystevedave]

Something is bugging me. Why did it end at 128? Why not a more rounded number?
Or is there an answer and I'm just too stupid/lazy to see it?

[Mattrick]

Something is bugging me. Why did it end at 128? Why not a more rounded number?
Or is there an answer and I'm just too stupid/lazy to see it?

All tournaments are divisable by 8. If I had 125 then we couldn't have even numbers anywhere. 4 groups of 4 brackets with 8 movies. Without pulling a NFL and having a bye week for some teams, all pro sports use this system. 16 in hockey/basketball, baseball has 8. It's the only number who's multiples and divisables can be halfed over and over again while keeping it even. So you simply double the number.

We'd have two final movies so if you go backwards. '1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128...the next number would be 256 which I think would make this way to massive.



feverish, yeah, no one named T2 :panic: :panic: :panic: :panic: :panic: :panic: :shoot: I could take a movie out and put in T2 but that would kill the democracy of it all. There are a few movies I don't think even belong in the same sentence with 'best movie of all time' but oh well :(

[Girlystevedave]

Okay...I'm just used to my mind basing everything on fives. I get it now.

[Mattrick]

That's the way the government wants you to think.

[Míchéal]

Damn government.

[Girlystevedave]

That's the way the government wants you to think.


That's not the government.:lol: That's my freakish mind.

[Erin]

I haven't said it yet, but Mattrick...this was a really awesome idea you came up with. I'm excited to see what wins!

[jemaher]

this is bracketology that i can really get behind

[Mattrick]

When round one is finished i'll post an updated version of the brackets in this thread. I'm saving which movie is in what bracket now until posted...will make it more of a surprise because there are a couple competitive brackets just from looking at it.

[ZoNeSeeK]

:-)

Sorry, too late with nominations (deleted post)

[Mattrick]

If anyone notices a vast decline in how many votes were getting, I'll shorten the voting time. Not sure how long I should give, I think it'll be four days from now on. No sense on having them stay active for a day or two after people stopped voting.

[ZoNeSeeK]

The BMOAT threads have been stickied to make this easier (thanks feev)

[Mattrick]

So you're Mr. Seek now? :orely: Who's covering ZoNe defense :panic:

[ZoNeSeeK]

its my married name 8) :)

[sarah]

has anyone put down:

The Big Lebowski and Reservoir Dogs and Dumb and Dumber and So, I Married an Axe Murderer?

I might be a bit drunk and can't remember.

[Mark]

Where's Back to the future?! i cant find it in any of the topics :(

[Heather19]

I nominated Reservoir Dogs, not sure about the others though.

[Girlystevedave]

Where's Back to the future?! i cant find it in any of the topics :(


No worries...Back To The Future was the first one I nominated.

[feverishparade]

Mattrick! Hurry up and post the rest of the brackets damnit! I'm getting anxiuos heaaah! :lol:

[Mattrick]

Sorry everyone, tried to get new brackets up the other night but I couldn't access this movie forum for some reason and didn't even look at my computer yesterday. I'll be on later tonight with the tie breakers and new brackets will be up tomorrow.

....I forgot the face of my father lol :nope:

[Mattrick]

Tie breakers are up. If a mod could unstickey those threads (non-tiebreaker) already up I'll post the new ones tonight at some point.

[jemaher]

Are you gonna post the bracket that advanced?

[Brice]

So, is that all of the current brackets you want unstickied? I will probably just move them to the clearing if we're done with them.

[Mattrick]

Yeah, just leave the tie breakers until I'm done with them. I'll post the new brackets when there is some space freed.

[RUBE]

Hello? Mattrick? Are you out there?

[jemaher]

Cant wait for the next round!

[jemaher]

matt,
how many movies are left in the poll? I know we started with 128 but have we completed the first round?

[Heather19]

I don't think so, I know there's still movies that were nominated that haven't made it into a poll yet.

[jemaher]

ok, cool... I derive a perverse pleasure from the whole poll thing... and it is interesting to see the other opinions on the movie selections.

[RUBE]

Because he has already released 12 groups with eight movies each that means that there are four groups left to be revealed in the first round.

The top finisher in each bracket so far (of course, there are three more movies from each):
A1: Silence of the Lambs
A2: Aliens (One of my nominations)
C1: Pulp Fiction
C2: Raiders of the Lost Ark
B3: Kill Bill, Wizard of Oz, Braveheart (all three tied for first)
B4: Vertigo
D3: Fight Club
D4: Forrest Gump
A3*: Almost Famous
A4*: The Lord of the Ring: Fellowship of the Ring (another of mine)
C3*: Goodfellas
C4*: Shawshank Redemption
*These are not officially closed yet but are close to it.

That leaves B1, B2, D1 and D2 to be voted on.

I wonder if Mattrick is going to keep the letters together or the numbers. (For example, is it going to be Silence of the Lambs versus Aliens or is it going to be Silence of the Lambs versus Pulp Fiction?)

Also, I hate to brag but 8 of my 9 nominations that have appeared so far have advanced or are really close in a group that is still open for voting (Stand By Me). Now I just need Groundhog Day to make it 9 of 10. (The loser was Million Dollar Baby.)

[Mattrick]

I was thinking about Seeding them but the ties make that more difficult to do.

I've been contemplating how to do the next round as this round is sort of a round robin. I've still got a week to think about it.

I Think current polls are closed so I should be putting up the final four brackets for this round and then we're down to 64 movies.

[feverishparade]

Excelleeeeent.....


[/Mr. Burns]

[RUBE]

Hello? Mattrick? Are you out there?


The last set of polls have been closed a few days.

[Mattrick]

Sorry everyone. I'm experiencing a bit of a healthy issue right now. Benign Paroxymal Positional Vertigo...it's caused by a build up of calcium stones in the inner ear. Essentially, when they move it sends false signals to the brain we causes vertigo and short bursts. Well, I've felt pretty out of it and almost constantly nauseaus for days.

Hopefully I can have this cleared up in a few days. If anyone would like to put it all together for me, I'll PM the brackets to them...I'm too out of it to want to do it all right now.

[jemaher]

That Sux ! hope you are feeling better soon. vertigo is a bitch... Never had it but know a few people who have and I dont want any part of it...

[Still Servant]

Vertigo sucks, but it's a great movie.

Hope you feel better Mattrick

[RUBE]

I also hope you feel better.

I am tempted to take the reigns of the tournament but I am swamped at work right now and I don't think I will have the time or energy.

[feverishparade]

Alright, I'll be taking over the tournament for now until Mattrick is 100%.

I'll be posting the remaining brackets soon.

[Brice]

I moved all of the closed polls to the clearing.

[Spencer]

The Usual Suspects and Reservoir Dogs if they're not already on. I didn't see em when I looked.

[Spencer]

Oops I totally missed that the tournament has started already. :lol: My bad.

[RUBE]

Hello? Mattrick? Are you out there?


The last set of polls have been closed a few days.

HHMMMM, seems Mattrick has forgot about us again. I hope he isn't ill again.

Based on the way the first four polls of the second round have gone I already know what most of the pairings will be for the seocnd round (except where there were ties) so I already know who I am picking in most cases. That makes me even more antsy to see what everyone else will pick, say for example when Unforgiven meets Die Hard or when The Empire Strikes Back meets The Green Mile.

[Mattrick]

I'm sorry everyone, a situation arose with my girlfriend and long story short, she just moved in with my so I've been a little caught up all weekend, this is the first time I've even looked at my computer. I'll be on at sometime tomorrow and should get on often enough the rest of the time. It's 4 am and I'm tired now.

[devo133]

A question, what happened to Vertigo? I remember it won a bracket but then I can't find it anymore.

[feverishparade]

He probably hasn't paired it up with it's opponent/posted the bracket yet.

A question, what happened to Vertigo? I remember it won a bracket but then I can't find it anymore.

It'll get there. All of it is broken up into 4 groups, A, B...C, D. Each has four brackets. I'm doing brackets I and II from each group from D to C then doing brackets III to IV A - D

In case anyone is wondering, I tabulated the votes and the movies remaining for Round Two were seeded in their brackets by votes. 1st seed vs 4th seed. Some seeds were tied with the same amount and I'm using personal discretion on this matchups. Trying to make it more challenging.

I'm surprised Princess Bride is only 50% from Godfather Part II...I guess I underestimated whatever attraction exists in a fantasy film.

[RUBE]

Mattrick, have you given up on this or what?

[blackrose22]

Yes whats the story?

[jemaher]

alas it appears that it is on summer hiatus

[jemaher]

hello matt? were all jonesin for the next round of polls

[Spencer]

Alright, my short list of 5 movies:

The Dark Knight
The Empire Strikes Back
The Usual Suspects
The Godfather
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

[Spencer]

OK, I read the 1st post, and of course I did that all wrong. :lol:

Put The Dark Knight on the list and we should be all set.

If it's too late to put it on the list, put it on there anyway. :lol:

[Spencer]

PS, How did nobody nominate The Usual suspects? :blink:

[Odetta]

OMG! I can't believe I didn't put the Usual Suspects down! I must be insane!

[gsvec]

Just came across this thread today. Not sure about the "best movie ever", but I obvioulsy loved "The Usual Suspects" based on my sig. :D

[Odetta]

:)

[jemaher]

casablanca was on here.... But the is a much earlier usual suspects!

[Lady Hitchhiker]

I would like to nominate "The rocky horror picture show"

[B Rag]

Second!

[RUBE]

You do all realize that nominating for this ended months ago and the first round of the tournament is done. If fact, several of the second round pairings are done as well. But, alas, for some reason Mattrick has abandoned us. Maybe I should take the second round pairings as I figure them and continue it...

[B Rag]

Yeah, I knew that, but I figured I wouldn't look as stupid since everyone else was saying stuff.

[feverishparade]

Well you figured wrong!

:rofl:

The first time Mattrick disappeared on us, he e-mailed me the sorted out lists of movies...let me see if I can find it.

[B Rag]

*puts on thick glasses* There, now I won't look stupid!

[Heather19]

If you guy have the lists, I say go for it and just start posting the next rounds.

[jemaher]

what happened to matt. is he still sick?

[Mattrick]

I have returned. Haven't been able to get on computere lately.

[Erin]

Welcome back Mattrick!

[feverishparade]

Welcome back!


Now post those damn brackets already! :lol:

[jemaher]

good to see You back!

[Gileadean Knight]

I guess this poll thing is over or what? I just found the post today and I went through the list that was compiled and, well, there are several films that I think were very good and I bet many others would feel the same, that weren't on the list. Oh well it seems to have been abandoned anyways...

[Odetta]

I HOPE NOT!

feevie, weren't you gonna take over this thing?

[feverishparade]

Yeah, Mattrick was going to e-mail me all the brackets, but then he came back and posted the next round so I figured he was going to complete it after all...


Mattrick-doo, where are you?!

[Odetta]

I'm thinking you should take over, darlin'

[alinda]

Good idea Odetta, it just disapeared and although not all of the "winners" were films I even knew or voted for for that matter, it was a fun thread. :thumbsup:

[Brice]

I agree! You should go ahead with it Feev..if you like.

[feverishparade]

What if....no....that would be too crazy.....do I dare suggest it?


What if we started all over?



!!!

[alinda]

:lol: why not?

[Odetta]

BMOAT! BMOAT! BMOAT!:nana:

[Brice]

I'd say that is your call since he's essentially abandoned it.

[alinda]

Maybe A Clockwork Orange will do better this time.

[Brice]

Of course it will. :D

Feev, give Clockwork Orange it's own bracket. ;)

[alinda]

;) :wtf:

[feverishparade]

I'll be making a new thread shortly :)
