Pre-1961 Bracket Update #6
Added 2021-09-08 21:00:13 +0000 UTCHey everyone!! Just a reminder to vote on the matchup today. The last time these 2 went up against each other it ended in a tie as they each had the exact same number of votes! I'll be watching the winner of this matchup for sure, and then the order will be decided in the final vs. "Wizard of Oz".

I kind of like this idea, as a way of introducing a wild-card selection now and then. The brackets require a lot of effort but don't produce anything novel or surprising. She'd have to be careful how it was set up, though, so it complied with gambling laws and platform T&C's.

2021-09-09 22:57:53 +0000 UTCYes but itβs not violent.

2021-09-09 22:38:11 +0000 UTCI'll keep an eye out for it. The Schmidt's just did 2010 and liked it.

2021-09-09 22:02:50 +0000 UTCI think is not good idea, because is almost impossible pick only one movie from this directors.. Good idea is watch thier filmography if have lotf of time :)

2021-09-09 21:52:43 +0000 UTCWell with people voting multiple times itβs not inconceivable.

2021-09-09 21:25:44 +0000 UTCRich, Iβm for Lawrence of Arabia, but Iβd like to see what Cassie would choose.
Catherine LW
2021-09-09 20:49:06 +0000 UTCWhich do you think Cassie would choose?
Catherine LW
2021-09-09 20:27:07 +0000 UTCWe all know what movie would win Kubrick lol

2021-09-09 20:15:56 +0000 UTCI still want a classic directorβs poll, and Cassie chooses which film from the winning and losing director. Some suggestions: Hitchcock, Kubrick, Lean, Wyler, Wilder, Huston, Capra, Zinnemann, Cukor, Hawks, Ford, Preminger, etc. Iβm sure others will have suggestions for CLASSIC directors.

2021-09-09 20:02:20 +0000 UTCShan will be reacting to Rear Window as it won his poll handily.
Catherine LW
2021-09-09 18:39:43 +0000 UTCI still don't see how Fargo won the top two. Silence of the Lambs yes, but Fargo? It's ok, Fugitive is way better imo
William Bryan
2021-09-09 17:26:29 +0000 UTCYep. She'll be watching both. ππ
William Bryan
2021-09-09 17:23:34 +0000 UTCSo itβs psycho and wizard?? I canβt see poll results anymore.

2021-09-09 16:49:24 +0000 UTCI'll join you...it should've won.

2021-09-09 14:19:42 +0000 UTCHoly crap that was close. Psycho was down 2 pts just an hour ago, but it looks like it pulled out the win this time. So... best 2 out of 3? π Well I'll probably vote for it in the final round. If we're gonna do Psycho then better save Oz for a palette cleanser.
Robin T
2021-09-09 06:48:33 +0000 UTCI called it. I said from the very beginning Psycho and Oz would be the last two left.
William Bryan
2021-09-09 06:46:27 +0000 UTCIn your live broadcast, you mentioned some of the movies that you eliminated from consideration on the pre 1961 tournament.. Have you seen Gone With The Wind? If you have yet to see it, it is worth the time investment. Also, I kept typing "Elizabethtown", but you ignored my plea. I think you and your sister would enjoy it...
Mike McLaughlin
2021-09-09 06:04:05 +0000 UTCJust n idea, for future openings. pre-cut the boxes open or at least to the point where there is very little tape left to cut or you can simply open with your hands.. :)
Mike McLaughlin
2021-09-09 05:57:31 +0000 UTCShe was scary with that knife. Then she gets the long package and say it might be a poster...or a sword, and I start thinking "Please let it NOT be a sword." :) Before you do another one of these we need to get you one of the box cutters that only has a short blade that is only exposed while your thumb is pushing on its spring loaded safety.

2021-09-09 02:06:31 +0000 UTCI was so so hoping that she would do "Rear Window" or "Twelve Angry Men." I think she would love "Rear Window" with the romance and suspense, especially if she had her sister to help try to follow the plot. It has a plot like a bobsled race. I don't think she'd like "Twelve Angry Men", but it would be an interesting reaction to watch. If she does a old westerns bracket, I'll be pulling for "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" with the love triangle, emotion, and intrigue. "Shane" would be good too.
Charles Mills
2021-09-09 01:19:16 +0000 UTCWell, this bracket went all disappointing. Hopefully she'll just watch the final 4 to get the movies that should have won. Casablanca was a no brainer for her. Now there's 13 Angry Men in this place. *Disclaimer...just having fun. Not really mad at these choices...well maybe a little. Just hope we get a reaction for the other two at some point. *
