Starks had the final say on alot of them. I was really hoping his vote wasn't for The Godfather so that it would eliminate the chance of a repeat from last time. Maybe a dark horse will take it out.

 

By my count I only cast the deciding vote in 4 of the 64 match-ups, the best being All The President's Men over Lawrence of Arabia. As for The Godfather over Reservoir Dogs, it was probably one of the toughest choices on the list, but I had watched The Godfather Trilogy only a month ago, which put it over the edge.

No, I only cast the winning vote on the four as highlighted above. On the other occasions I voted for the loser and simply made the result closer then it would have been. :)
