Goodfellas vs. Taxi Driver?

Jesus.

Vince, Pt. II · 03-23-2017, 10:21 AM

Yeah, this is getting absurdly difficult.

All chalk but one over here, as I don't particularly love Scarface. I LIKE it well enough, but think it may be the U2 of movies for me.

Vince, Pt. II · 03-23-2017, 10:23 AM

Dola - hard to see anything other than a Shawshank vs Silence of the Lambs matchup to get into the Final Four out of this bracket, methinks.

Butter · 03-23-2017, 10:32 AM

I don't know, I think Shawshank/Goodfellas would be a tough one. I don't even know how I would vote right now.

tarcone · 03-23-2017, 03:31 PM

I thought this was an easy round.

How about polar opposites in Scarface v Finding Nemo. Thats a funny match up.

Cheer up, Brian. You know what they say.
Some things in life are bad,
They can really make you mad.
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle,
Don't grumble, give a whistle!
And this'll help things turn out for the best
And

Always look on the bright side of life!
