1928-1947 [1] Metropolis [2] Modern Times [14] The Lady Vanishes [13] Frankenstein I’m not sure my choice of The Lady Vanishes over The General is the right one. 1948-1967 [1] The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly [2] Paths of Glory [14] Sweet Smell of Success [5] Touch of Evil Yikes; “Touch of Evil” versus “The Seventh Seal” is a nasty matchup. 1968-1987 [8] Harold and Maude [7] The Thing [11] Warriors of the Wind [5] The Terminator I still maintain “The Terminator” is way, way better than “Terminator 2.” 1988-2007 [9] The Big Lebowski [10] Heat [3] Reservoir Dogs [13] Groundhog Day ---

The mods requested I let the other threads bury themselves before I start 4 new threads on the subject (so the front GR page isn’t monopolized). So I’ll be posting the results in the OP of the new thread, along with the new match-ups, later today. 🙂 ---
