FINAL

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
The Godfather

No more re-seeding from now, it should be noted. That means whoever wins matchup #1 will face the winner of matchup #4, and the winner of matchup #2 will face the winner of #3. Then the winner of each semifinal will obviously face up in the final. In the words of Mitto: It's on like Donkey Kong!

1. The Lion King
2. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
3. The Godfather
4. Pulp Fiction

Not many good movies left (imho). :p I guess I'll have to root for The Godfather.

Godfather vs. Forrest Gump is terrible. I had a massive amount of difficulty picking out of them and would prefer both to all of the others. Crap.

Anyway.

Standard seeded finalists. It goes like this...

1v8
2v7
3v6
4v5

Then to give the 3rd seeded side a fairer chance of progressing while still having 1 and 2 in different semifinals it goes...

1v4
2v3

This is, of course, assuming there are no upsets - which always make things fun. :) More often than not official tournaments mix around things so it looks like this...

1v8
3v6
4v5
2v7

...but I was too lazy. :p

1. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
