Getting tougher of course.

For me, Godfather was easy, but the other three presented challenges. I think The Matrix is a ground breaking scifi action flick, but Princess Bride might be my favorite comedy altogether.

Pulp Fiction is terrific but The Usual Suspects is one of my favorite movies.

And then in the Fincher battle, I love both of those, too, but picked Fight Club using the TV rule.

This has been the easiest of the three 4th round brackets for me, only se7en and Fight Club gave me pause to think a bit.

Agree, but The Godfather is my #1 movie in the whole thing, so it was still easy for me.
