FOFC Favourite Movie - Opening Round (Part 13)
We are 75% through the first round. Complete results and bracket here. Vote on Part 12 if you haven't done so already.
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. I'm working on these stats so that they will be a Top 5 moving forward after part 12. Stats (through part 11)... 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 0 (9-9) - Modern Times vs. Touch of Evil 1 (23-22) - Finding Nemo vs. Amadeus 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) |

First bracket that I can't even vote for any matchup. No strong feelings about any of them.

Bummed to see Witness for the Prosecution losing. One of my favorite movies.

Didn't like either of these as well. So apparently yes. Also The Intouchables is an amazing movie. Funny and sad and a little bit heart wrenching. It's on netflix and I would totally recommend it. It's one of those movies that after 5 minutes you don't realize it's in another language. |

Yes. Pulp Fiction is one of the worst movies I've ever seen, and perhaps the only movie I've walked out of in the theater. |

I did NOT expect to agree with Kodos on this one. But hey!

Me too, even though I unequivocally and vehemently disagree about Fury Road. But you (revrew) and I usually agree most of the time. |

It's funny but this round probably has more of my all-time favorite movies than others rounds (Pirates, Fury Road, FaFDM, Fargo).
