Re: "Favorite" Movie Tournament Round #3/Group #4 Poll
The Dark Knight - tough one, could go either way
The Thing - Shawshank is #1 on imdb but not for me!
Jaws- I love Shaun but it's Jaws
Once upon a Time in the West - easy pick, Casino is meh.

Re: "Favorite" Movie Tournament Round #3/Group #4 Poll
Yeah, the top seeds have advanced throughout the tourney. This group has the two lowest seeds left. Shaun and Casino. I am wondering if the top seeds will advance once we get to the next round, those all seem pretty wide open to me.

The Dark Knight
The Thing = great movie. (Shawshank = overrated sack.)
Jaws - Shaun is good but not THAT good.
Once Upon A Time In The West - Claudia Cardinale? We're done here

Re: "Favorite" Movie Tournament Round #3/Group #4 Poll
The Dark Knight (easy pick)
The Thing (Hard pick but had narrowly chose the thing.)
Shaun of the Dead (Can't believe I voted for this but Jaws isnt near my favorite Spielberg and I dont find Jaws that re-watchable. both are very overrated though.)
Once Upon a Time in the West (I LOVE ME some Casino and hated to vote against it but OUATITW s one of my top 10.)
The Thing (Hard pick but had narrowly chose the thing.)

Shawshank
Shaun
Casino
All hard picks, like both TDK and The Usual Suspects, but didn't vote as I think they are both overrated. Being honest with myself now I probably should have voted TDK.

Re: "Favorite" Movie Tournament Round #3/Group #4 Poll
For me it was 3 easy choices and one really hard one.
Suspects
Shawshank
Jaws
and the hard one
Casino by a VERY slim margin over Once Upon a Time in the West.

Re: "Favorite" Movie Tournament Round #3/Group #4 Poll
The Usual Suspects (easiest choice yet...TDK is the most overrated movie in the tourney by a wide margin)
Shawshank Redemption (an excellent, yet still overrated movie, but I just didn't like The Thing that much)
Jaws (no contest)
Casino (toughest choice for me yet and simply came down to which genre I prefer more, gangster or spaghetti western...and I simply love my gangster films).

Re: "Favorite" Movie Tournament Round #3/Group #4 Poll
Don't like either one, so I won't vote
Never seen Shawshank, and I don't like The Thing at all, so I won't vote again
Jaws (I like Shaun, but I've always found Hot Fuzz to be funnier)
Once Upon a Time in the West (An easy choice. Casino sucks.)

The Usual Suspects -- Not even close. I loved TDK but Usual Suspects is one of my favorite all time and I believe it my favorite of all the movies left in the tournament.
Shawshank
Shaun of the Dead -- I think it's hilarious and I think Jaws is overrated.

Re: "Favorite" Movie Tournament Round #3/Group #4 Poll
I've seen both options in just one of these matches (though that's one pair more than I've seen in the last two rounds, methinks). I have absolutely nothing bad to say about Jaws. A friend of mine caught a midnight showing of it last year and decided that Spielberg may have actually peaked with it.
But not only can't I think of a better romantic comedy with zombies, I can't think of another romantic comedy with zombies than Shaun of the Dead. From start to finish, I enjoy it. I was reminded how much I enjoy it when I sat down about a month ago and watched every single bonus feature--including all three commentary tracks--in the span of two days. It never got old.
