Re: Comedy Tournament Round #1/Group #5
Yeah, I made the initial post and saw there were more poll options now. So I went ahead and did the poll and went back and fixed the initial post. Now it all should be good I hope. We will do twelve matchups in this Round and then I think we will use 8 after that.

Re: Comedy Tournament Round #1/Group #5
Is Back To The Future really a comedy? I always thought it was more of an adventure with a few consequential laughs. I'd put it more on par with certain Schwarzenegger movies (Total Recall, True Lies, etc.) or the later Brosnan Bond movies, in that there are jokes and silly moments, but it's not really a comedy-based movie.
Then again, it has plenty of votes, so who am I to judge?

Some of my favorites in this round, and for once they weren't all pitted against one another. I didn't vote in some matches because I'm not a big enough fan one way or the other, and deferred to more dedicated fans to resolve those battles.

Re: Comedy Tournament Round #1/Group #5
I would prefer smaller groups.
1) Gives me a chance to absorb the matchups, rather than being blitzed with two dozen movies at once.
2) If I happen to miss one group now, that's a lot of votes that I won't get to cast.
3) If we do it too quick, it will be over too quick!
However, since you're the one doing all the work, whatever you choose is fine with me.

Re: Comedy Tournament Round #1/Group #5
So am I to understand that four times as many of you prefer Hot Fuzz to Bringing Up Baby?
Humanity is doomed, and rightly so.
