[Carman Bulldog]

Here we are with Part 3 of the Second Round. Part 1 really engaged voters while Part 2 did not. I sort of feel like this bracket will be somewhere in between.

Woot! 1st to vote this round.

[Chief Rum]

Wow some brutal matchups here.

[NobodyHere]

2001 v Rocky was definitely the hardest to choose. Both movies are fine representatives of their genres.

[tarcone]

Alien vs. Braveheart was the tough one for me.
I went with which movie would I watch if they both came on tv at the same time. So, Braveheart.

[JonInMiddleGA]

This might be the first one where I've voted on every matchup

[larrymcg421]

Really worried for BTTF in the next round.

[Umbrella]

Alien vs. Braveheart was pretty much 50/50 for me. Looks like the votes are aligned with that thinking.

[albionmoonlight]

Back to the Future on an insane 104-3 run right now.

[Kodos]

Being objective, Alien versus Braveheart was the toughest choice so far. But my disdain for Mel Gibson made it easy.

[korme]

Good Will Hunting getting smoked is sad

[ntndeacon]

Some Like it Hot should be doing MUCH better!

Strangely, i had exactly the opposite reaction: a clear victor for me in every matchup (not necessarily the majority view in a couple of cases, but I had no indecision on any of them)

[Vince, Pt. II]

Going to be some ridiculously difficult decisions in this bracket next round.

Spirited Away probably deserves better than the 33 vote margin it is currently looking at, but I don't know how many 2nd round movies it would have beaten.

+1 except that I didn't care about the movies in the 2nd and 3rd matchups, the rest were easy.

[Easy Mac]

Had to recuse myself from Star Wars-Good Will. Couldn't figure out which I liked more.

To be fair, Ive never seen either movie, so I non-voted.
