Hitchcock - 4
Kubrick - 3
Scorsese - 3
Coppola - 3

Anyway, glad you guys have enjoyed this. It's been fun so far. I'm really looking forward to seeing what film pulls it out in the end.

I hereby propose that the winning film gets its own IMWAN weekend.

I know you are taking the ribbing I am giving in the spirit it is given.

T

Oh, of course! I only tallied because I was curious what the actual numbers were. I don't mind the ribbing one bit. What fun would life be if people didn't bust on one another?

On some other boards, people are sometimes a bit touchy. It is a trickle down effect.

RAIDERS has a geek/nostalgia factor going for it.

Personally, I'm rooting for CASABLANCA. I'd vote for that one over any of the other three.

A fine idea. I second the motion.

Poor Clint!

Cool!

Have you decided the pairing of the final four?

It could go two ways (1) the Nazi films go head-to-head, or (2) the golden age classics go head-to-head. Personally I'd like the see the ultimate showdown being between Golden Age cinema vs. Silver Age cinema.

Not yet, Scott. I was thinking about letting chance decide it and simply drawing straws, but I've not yet made that decision. In the morning I'll figure it out. I quite like your idea, though.

I notice that once again, Casablanca and Raiders got the highest vote counts....

The IMWAN Film vs. Film Challenge - Final Four Results

Round 4, Match 1: Citizen Kane vs. Casablanca
WINNER: Casablanca, 21-14

Round 4, Match 2: Raiders of the Lost Ark vs. The Godfather
WINNER: Raider of the Lost Ark, 20-18

Glad you posted the link to these old polls. I wanted to comment on the differences between The Godfather and GoodFellas and now I do not have to start a new poll...

And the winner of the IMWAN Film vs. Film Challenge is ...

RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK!

Which makes this weekend Indiana Jones weekend - and Raiders specifically - here at IMWAN.

Thanks to everyone who made these Challenge threads a lot of fun. Every last post just added to the rampaging beast this competition became. It was a blast to talk movies, engage in some friendly debate, and get excited to revisit some classics we haven't seen in a while. I hope everyone else enjoyed it as much as I did.

Eric, make a separate thread to announce the theme, would you?

Cool. Did not see this coming from the beginning. some worthy-and some unusual, but still worthy-choices in the poll.

Perhaps we can have various genre themed polls at other times.

You've got it, Chef.

How the $#*%* did Jaws lose this time?!?

Just kidding El Presidente.

I have to admit, I was thrilled that Indy got to lay the smackdown on all the other films.

You're banned for even thinking this.

Bah Humbug.

<------------------ Says CHOMP

OK, I changed my mind to the BEST film, from a great, ignored film.

Thanks to Eric for coming up with the Challenge and following it through, it was a lot of fun!
