(Intro from the initial thread:)

OK. Here's the deal. Being a little bored, being a movie nerd and having a little extra time, I've built a few brackets. The idea is to, eventually, crown the Greatest Movie of All Time. (Hence the thread title.)

First, these are the movies I happened to choose. Some good ones got left out. Some that you think are good aren't thought good by the masses or, more importantly, by me -- since, well, I made the bracket. And you may then disagree with the seedings, too. And that's fair. But just play along, if you're interested. Could be fun.

Reply on the thread with the seeds and names of your winners of each pairing. I'll let the first round go for a while, then add up the votes and post the winners/next round's pairings.

Not represented in this particular tournament are the 'smaller' genres, like war, western, documentary, etc. And, sorry international MFPers, I didn't go foreign, either. So consider this The Greatest (American) Movie of All Time Bracket Tourney, I suppose.

The four genre regions are Comedy, Action, Sci-Fi/Fantasy and Drama/Thriller. Winners of each region will be determined, starting with Comedy, and then will pair off for the Final Four. Comedy will face Drama/Thriller, Action will meet Sci-Fi/Fantasy.

And to spark more discussion, feel free to give your reasons for some of your choices!

Up first, Comedy. We'll play this region out until we have a winner, and we'll move on to the next.

    (And, yes, I expect that counts as five votes! Also, figures this bumps it up so that should that not count as five votes others will come in and also vote for Ferris Bueller's Day Off) ... ah-hem... Thank You! :)

    (3) Monty Python: Holy Grail (although Holy Grail is a British film so it wouldn't come under greatest American comedy)

    Gotta go with Python. It's the only one I know all the lines to. That's a pretty good list, though. Tough to choose.
