It's all over. The winner is:
Star Wars: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back

Film Tournament

Oh, and could this be stickied possibly?

ya, could be fun

please add:

Ed Wood
Boogie Nights
Reservoir Dogs
Sleepy Hollow

all for now, thanks

The movies have to be well respected, so I'll add Reservoir Dogs and Boogie Nights, but I need to get a few more supporters of the other two first.

how about:

le femme nikita
goodfellas
magnolia

You have to have Shawshank Redemption.

the butterfly effect?

the matrix?

lord of the rings: return of the king?

dumb and dumber?

I nominate...

Wayne's World
Big Fish

I definitly think lord of the rings needs to be in there.

Also:
finding nemo
boondock saints

I need a few more supporting votes before I add:
Dumb and Dumber
The Matrix
Big Fish

If I have to add an LOTR film, I need people to vote for which one.

And I don't think Finding Nemo or The Butterfly Effect could qualify for a greatest of all time.

Also add
Memento
Godfather part 2
Cuckoos Nest
office space
cool hand luke

and a bunch more.....

Pulp Fiction
Reservoir Dogs
Kill Bill
Beetlejuice
Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas
Batman
Batman Returns
Spaceballs
Blazing Saddles
Young Frankenstein
Aliens (just for you)

Also, if you want a method of seeding, the more frequently-nominated movies could get the better seed.

other additions to the list:

Raiders of the Lost Ark
Vacation
Rounders
Animal House
Patton
Rocky
JFK
The Hustler
Stripes
Caddyshack
A Few Good Men
Apacolypse Now

Ed Wood.
Ed Wood.
Ed Wood.
Ed Wood.
Ed Wood.

...is that enough support?


(I also liked Sleepy Hollow, but I can't honestly say it needs to be placed on a list like this. Maybe someone else can add their support for that one.)

Going along with the Tim Burton theme, please add Edward Scissorhands...it's one of my all-time favorites.

I'm in.

Eleven nominations:

Donnie Darko
LOTR: Return of the King
Pulp Fiction
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Adaptation
The Shawshank Redemption
Star Wars: A New Hope
The Usual Suspects
Fight Club
Fargo

Alright, I'd planned to use bracketmaker, and I'm gonna try to work on figuring out which to include.

I'm gonna try to get it ready, but I think I'm gonna be a little selfish and wait to start voting until maybe the second Monday in January, since I know I'm going to be seeing some of these very soon after Christmas.

Even though I'm running it, I'm still gonna nominate a couple to hopefully have them backed up:
Pi
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Scarface

And I wanna give support to:
Adaptation
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Clerks
Almost Famous
Kill Bill (Vol. 2?)

High Fidelity
