As soon as I saw The Dark Knight vs. The Shawshank Redemption, I sensed the forum would be thrown into a frenzy.

A bit easier than the other round of 16 matchup
Casablanca - tough one but I don't think I can vote against this, yet.
The Godfather - I love BTTF but it can't take down the juggernaut.
The Dark Knight - I'm not in the 'Shawshank is best ever' camp.
Jaws - Easiest pick. Casino doesn't belong this far.

Wow! I got to cast three votes in one round!
Casablanca - I saw this for the first time this year, checked out from the library. I fell in love with it and promptly bought the 2-disc SE from Best Buy and proceeded to watch every feature (including both commentary tracks). I love it when I hear something is supposed to be great and it turns out to actually be.
Back to the Future - Barely, but only because I find it easier to re-watch than The Godfather. I base this on the fact I've seen BTTF countless times, and Godfather just once. (ducks!)
The Dark Knight - Not that I think it's necessarily the greatest film ever made (as many of its fans claim), nor that I think Shawshank is "horribly overrated" (as many of its detractors claim). Simply, when it comes to having Morgan Freeman as a mentor, I'd rather he make me laugh.
