Re: Comedy Tournament Round #4/Group #1

The brackets and prediction leaderboards are all updated.

I jumped the gun a bit on which round it is in the title, since it actually only Round #3.

Big Lebowski - not the biggest fan but it is better than CS.
Vacation - tough one but the Griswolds get it.
Anchorman - another toughie.
Caddyshack - easily
The Naked Gun - yet another hard one! I'll go with Frank.
BTTF - still iffy on the comedy but I can't vote against it.
Christmas Vacation - easily. The best of the Griswolds.
Shaun of the Dead - easily.

Woody, this is a very cool thing that you are doing.. Are you going to have a best fantasy/sci-fi bracket game in the future?

Re: Comedy Tournament Round #4/Group #1

Matchup #1 - A Christmas Story - I thought TBL was just okay.

Matchup #2 - Planes, Trains and Automobiles

Matchup #3 - Anchorman - Hate Austin Powers. Myers himself, for that matter.

Matchup #4 - Caddyshack - Tough one, I like OBWAT, but Caddyshack is a classic.

Matchup #5 - The Naked Gun - I just don't get OS.

Matchup #6 - Back to the Future - No contest.

Matchup #7 - Christmas Vacation

Matchup #8 - Shaun of the Dead

Re: Comedy Tournament Round #4/Group #1

Big Lebowski - Great flick. This one was no contest.
Vacation
Austin Powers
Caddyshack - easily
The Naked Gun - Without a doubt.
BTTF - I wouldnt call it a comedy, but it is still ten times better than dumb and dumber.
Christmas Vacation - easily. The best of the Griswolds.
Ferris Bueller - This one was absolutely no contest.

It would probably win the "Best Romance" tournament as well, if we ever get desperate enough for one of those.

I love a few of his films...the Vacation movies and Fletch (I don't even think it qualified for this tournament) are among my favorites.
