I haven't seen half of these movies.

[Guest Starks]

I'll just be short and simple.

 

The following brackets were done by random drawing. Every other round will be a regular bracket so for example, Movie A and Movie B are against each other, and below is Movie c and Movie D. The winners will pair off in the next round, etc. etc. until the finals.

 

PLEASE VOTE FOR THE MOVIES YOU THINK ARE BETTER. I cannot stress that enough. There's a reason why movies like the Terminator series, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, every Star Wars & LOTR films aren't here. People don't consider them all great.

 

Voting ends at the end of the week. I rushed through the vote off stragglers round because, quite frankly, most people agreed on what shouldn't be there.
