2017 Movie Madness
- Thread starter Wolf
- Start date
Office Space
The Godfather
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
The Breakfast Club
For me, having to choose between Shining and Ferris was crazy. While The Shining was a great movie based on a great novel, Ferris Bueller is a brilliant, iconic comedy. Madness.

With 8 votes in and these three movies with majority of the votes all advance with no problem.
Back To the Future, Star Wars and Ferris Bueller's Day Off
and now the last match-up is all tied now, Breakfast Club vs Raiders of The Lost Ark
It all comes down to one person Koop. Which film will you choose? Breakfast Club constantly voting against that movie throughout the whole tournament!
or the epic hero Indiana Jones?

Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.

Also your pick will be for your own reasons. We are not the academy. I pick for rewatchability. Lots of better quality (in the academy terms) movies bit the dust.

Usually Koop is on throughout the day? I guess the Betty White and the Peanuts gang kidnap him and taped his eyelids open and watch the two films to decide the final vote either on Breakfast Club or Raiders of The Lost Ark.
That what I'm partly afraid of, when we do the 2018 Music Madness. The Beatles shouldn't be in it, because I'm guessing they will win again?
Shining. Any day.
Although I loved FBDO, I never saw it as brilliant or iconic. I can watch it once, and I'm good for ten years.
I think Goonies was a better 80s film. Everyone forgot about it.

I can watch Ferris over and over. The Shining is a once in 10 years. I saw the Shining the first time earlier this year so maybe once in 50+ years (I did read the book some time ago).

The Goonies is a good film. Not one of my top 10 films, but I never thought of nominating it for the tournament.
If I had one more nomination, I'd have gone with Stand By Me. Good movie..
The Music tournament, I did accepted nearly 40 extra bands as a wild card entry. I tried to avoid it this time, because I wanted to keep it small and simple. But I wish, I could have accepted so many extra movies, that could have been entered into this tournament.
Once this tournament is finally over, maybe we can try and rethink this and have tons of movies entered. But do it like music style were everybody was just about accepted and do a voting contest and the top 4-6 advance in each category? But I still prefer to have 64 tournament.

Exactly. If it was based on real cinematic quality, Godfather wouldn't have been up against Die Hard.
Idiocracy was Mike Judge's follow-up to Office Space. It has some genius, very quotable concepts, and many feel it predicted the election of Trump (including Judge himself). But the movie has some holes in it, and meanders in places.

Yea that film had some issues, but I still enjoy it But I would have never nominate that movie into this tournament. Be like adding Airheads and Encino Man.
