This was a lot of fun Eric, looking forward to the Animal House vs. Caddyshack tilt.

I thought Al Pacino & DeNiro were coasting in Heat 1... so I really hope there's no Heat 2.
Caged Heat, on the other hand... we really need some more female prison movies. With wire-fu and CGI.

Godfather better than Goodfellas?! This whole thing is rigged! It's a sham I tell you!

It's not surprising you didn't hear about Heat 2. They called it Miami Vice. Nobody paid to see it.

I blame the handle-bar mustache. America's just not ready for a handle-bar mustache in a dramatic role.

I'm surprised at how close Godfather/ Goodfellas was.
Only ones I disagree with are Raiders beating Pulp Fiction, and Seve Samurai beating 2001.
Only movie I haven't seen on the list is Lawrence of Arabia (and I'll have to watch it soon.)

Sunday night or Monday morning. There is one last matchup tomorrow in the second heat of this first round. For the moment, people have through the weekend to vote in the eight most recent challenges.
Still deciding how to spread out the second round.

Whoa...
I just realized that Round One had...or rather... DIDN'T HAVE Jaws as a contender.
Seems fishy, no pun intended, to me.
Dangerously close to declaring the whole contest rigged....

Eric,
I'll be off line all weekend (not working) so if it's fair, please feel free to enter my votes for Godfather movies (even #3, yeah, I'm the one who dug it) wherever appropriate. It must be a North Jersey thing. If not, may the best flick win, and thanks for your efforts.
