Ghostbusters is easily better than Office Space, but Groundhog Day is Murray's best comedy.

Re: Comedy Tournament Round #7/Championship

neither of these are even close to being my favorite comedies, but I picked Ghostbusters for purely sentimental reasons.

I am gonna go ahead and name Ghostbusters the Champion. The bracket has been updated if you would like to see how the entire tourney played out.

Buck Privates - Not included - You bastards.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High = Beaten in Round 3 by Raising Arizona -

Groundhog Day - Beaten in Round 5 by eventual winner Ghostbusters

It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World - Beaten in Round 1 by Tommy Boy -

My Cousin Vinny - Beaten in Round 2 by Shaun of the Dead - Okay, I'll let that one go.

Trading Places - Beaten in Round 2 by Airplane.

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective - Not included - But AV: When Nature Calls was!

Tootsie - Beaten in Round 2 by This is Spinal Tap -

Actually, that was pretty cool. Mine looks bad, as I picked movies with 0 or 1 vote to try to get them in the tourney. Only two of my picks made it past the first round. Still think it was shameful that no Sellers Pink Panther film was included.

Nice. I would rather have seen Airplane! crowned, but am cool with the final outcome.

Another fantastic tourney Woody!

What's up next? Westerns? Sci-fi/fantasy?

I'm totally cool with the winner; it's a great film.

Thanks again, Woody. This, and the horror poll, was a lot of fun. Can't wait for the next tourney!

So much to choose from. Woody needs to have a poll on what should the next one be.

Westerns/Sci-fi/fantasy/war movies.

Is sci-fi/fantasy one category? or two?

true.

But you could term Empire strikes back as sci-fi...then do just a fantasy one.

I think they are 2 different genres..but who knows.

Whatever category is next, I predict Shaun of the Dead will get nominated.

I am thinking of making Empire Strikes Back ineligible for the tourney if that ends up next.
