Major League may shut out Bad News Bears

I made sure that didn't happen. :D

And I really enjoy Major League, but the original Bad News Bears is a sentimental favorite for me.

Major League (tough one)

Bad News Bears (I'm very surprised Major League is winning)
I'm not surprised, as younger films have been winning most of the matchups here it seems. Kids nowadays....

But it is a tough choice, as I love Major League as well.

[Charlie Goose]

Matchup #1 - The Bad News Bears '76 - I love both, but this gets the edge.

Matchup #2 - Duck Soup - One of my favorite movies.

Matchup #3 - A Night at the Opera

Matchup #4 - As Good As It Gets - Losing...to DUMB AND DUMBER?!?

Matchup #5 - Meet the Parents

[Giles]

The Bad News Bears '76
Duck Soup
A Night at the Opera
As Good As It Gets
Sideways

As Good and Sideways IMO are dramedy's not flat out comedies.

how was it decided to go head to head between Duck Soup and Waiting for Guffman - really tough decision

I seen all of those except Duck Soup and A Night at the Opera.


I don't believe you.

The match-ups are totally random based on the voting, right?

The match-ups are totally random based on the voting, right?

Yes, I take the lists. I tally how many times each movie is on someone's list. Then I seed out the tournament based on those tallies. For the ties, like all the movies with 2 talles I use a random number generator web site that takes in a list and then randomizes it. The seedings determine the matchups. #1 vs #128, #2 vs #127........#64 vs #65 for Round #1. IF all favorites win Round #1 would look like #1 v #64, #2 vs #63. The easiest way to see how the seedings work is to look at if all favorites advance if every round. If that were to happen each matchups seedings would alway add up to 1 + the # of teams in Round. 129 for Round #1, 65 for Round #2, 33 for Round #3.......

Of course it is funny how some of the mtchups work out. We had Star Wars and Empire in the same section in the first tourney. We have Coen Brothers matchup in the comedy tourney. Tarantino Matchup in the Favorite Tourney. The all baseball matchup in this group. I believe if all goes as planned we will have a Mel Brooks slugfest early on in this one.

Dammit! I missed this poll entirely and would have voted for Sideways! Not, of course, that my one vote would have made a difference, it seems....
