Time for another Bracket! Suggestions needed!
Added 2021-08-29 18:09:02 +0000 UTCOk let’s do another fun bracket! I want to do a “classics” bracket but more specifically films from 1960 and prior. I looked at the AFI film list of 100 movies for 100 years and i have not seen EVEN ONE from their list that was before 1960. (EDIT-i lied, i have seen Snow White)
So if you want to make a suggestion leave a comment with one movie per comment and like the comments (upvote) ones you agree with! We are going to do the top 16 in a bracket (with a losers bracket as well) and i’ll watch the top two winners! Seeding will be based on likes as well.
I am overwhelmed with the support of all of you and appreciate you so much for helping me along my movie journey!
ps. Chernoby episode 4 will be on patreon tomorrow and episode 5 the following Monday

How about an Alfred Hitchcock bracket, if you cant find one of his movies to like you are not trying...

2021-09-03 22:28:48 +0000 UTCThis is cool, Cassie! I hope you also do an 80's Animation bracket that includes Akira, Heavy Metal & Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Love those movies and would like to see your reactions to them. :D

2021-09-03 06:39:50 +0000 UTCWell...there aren't any sleepers on this list. No "dark horses" as it were (speaking of which -- no westerns? We should have been more careful in the suggestion process). The double elimination was a great idea. A first round loss isn't instant death, right?

2021-09-02 23:09:54 +0000 UTCbefore 1960 i would like to recommend on the waterfront with a young marlon brando and the great dictator the best talkie of Charlie Chaplin

2021-09-02 02:51:27 +0000 UTCPure rom-com - "Desk Set" (1957) with Spencer Tracy & Katherine Hepburn. I used to think Tracy was too old for her, until I found out they had a longstanding deeply devoted complicated real life relationship.

2021-09-01 22:05:26 +0000 UTCI'd love to see her react to "The Quiet Man." On the old Highlander message board there would be a debate whether Kate was a strong or weak woman. I thought she was strong. You can disagree with what she wanted, but she got what she wanted from John Wayne and Victor McLaglen. She'd like "African Queen" too. I never that got much into "The Maltese Falcon."

2021-09-01 21:59:11 +0000 UTCTo Have and Have Not (1944) - not as well known, but still very good, The African Queen (1951)_ - Kathrine Hepburn and Bogart. Need I say more?? The Maltese Falcon (1941). And for something completely different and unexpected, The Quiet Man (1952) - Maureen O'Hara, John Wayne and Barry Fitzgerald

2021-09-01 09:03:40 +0000 UTCI think Cassie needs to revise the rules for future polls. Mr Toad is abusing the rules :)

2021-09-01 08:50:26 +0000 UTCRear Window (1954) - a good first Hitchcock
Robin T
2021-09-01 08:48:30 +0000 UTCSome Like It Hot (1959) - definitive Marilyn Monroe and one of the funniest films ever
Robin T
2021-09-01 08:47:10 +0000 UTCThe Best Years of Our Lives (1946) - emotional salve after all those war movies
Robin T
2021-09-01 08:44:58 +0000 UTCCity Lights (1931) - Chaplin's best, though The Gold Rush (1925) might be a better introduction to silents

2021-09-01 08:42:06 +0000 UTCLa Strada (1954)
