And now to see how they get on...

Quarterfinals - COMPLETE!
1. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.......18
1. The Lion King.......................................12

2. Monty Python and the Holy Grail.....................12
2. Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope..................15

3. The Godfather.......................................17

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!

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

Anywho, my votes for The Godfather. I will admit to wishing it was down to Return of the King and Star Wars though. What can I say; I just love Star Wars, and Fellowship was a lot less interesting than RotK.

I would have loved to have seen something like Duck Soup on it but who would have voted for it in the end anyway (well aside from us) :(

A deserved winner anyway, The Godfather is a great film. You have three or four actors there who probably did their best work (or close to their best) in that film (Al Pacino, John Cazale, Robert Duvall and Diane Keaton in case you're wondering - and then there's the likes of Marlon Brando, James Caan and Talia Shire all on excellent form), and it's one of the reasons why the 70s was so excellent for movies.
