FOFC Favourite Movie - Opening Round (Part 12)
Let's keep things moving... as always, "favourite" is left open for interpretation by the individual. A tiebreaker is decided by the IMDB rating (not tournament ranking) followed by the number of IMDB votes for that rating.
The complete bracket with results thus far can be found here. There is still time to vote for Part 11 here and there are currently two matches that are within one vote of each other. Stats (through part 10)... Most Votes (one movie) 58 - Back to the Future 54 - Rocky 54 - Forrest Gump Most Votes (matchup) 62 - The Dark Knight vs. This is Spinal Tap 61 - Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope vs. Jaws 61 - Back to the Future vs. Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind Largest Margin of Victory 55 - Back to the Future 53 - The Shawshank Redemption 51 - The Shining 51 - Rocky 51 - Saving Private Ryan Closest Margin of Victory 0 (24-24) - Some Like it Hot vs. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels 2 (27-25) - Blade Runner vs. Unforgiven 3 (27-24) - Apocolapyse Now vs. Jurrasic Park Biggest Shutout 53-0 - The Shawshank Redemption vs. Phantom of the Paradise 48-0 - Goodfellas vs. Infernal Affairs 47-0 - Inglourious Basterds vs. Andaz Apna Apna Biggest "Underdogs" Wins 226. Monsters Inc vs. 31. Once Upon a Time in the West (26-16) 221. Rocky vs. 36. City Lights (54-3) 207. The Princess Bride vs. 50. The Prestige (37-10) |

The Deer Hunter is such a good movie. Lots of good match ups here.

Fantastic group of movies. I was genuinely torn on several of the options.

It's right up there with the three matchups in the "closest margin of victory" section for me. Tough, tough call. |

I've started voting a few times before coming to a stop, simply because I get to that Terminator vs. Leon match and can't decide.

I picked Professional, but I loved Terminator. The Sting vs. Deer Hunter? Holy hell. Any of those four movies could have had a long run for me depending on draws. 2 will be done in round one.

Sting vs Deer Hunter is probably the toughest matchup I've seen so far!

Either one could make a deep run, too. Not just close, but good-and-close. I voted Sting but both of them make my own Top 25 or so. |

I spent like 3 minutes debating that choice, by far the longest I have mulled a pick to date. Two great movies! |

Gotta concur with the Sting vs. Deer Hunter matchup. Brutal.

And Sting pulls ahead!
Still sad about Harold and Maude getting trounced. I admit 12 Angry Men is a better movie and I love it and all but H&M is just so weird it's great! Django Unchained so overrated. Not sure why it has such a high rating on imdb. And what's with Green Mile over Gandhi? SeriouslY? |
