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.”

[10] Heat
[3] Reservoir Dogs
[13] Groundhog Day

one last bump

bump?

Yeah, where are the next round threads???

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. :slight_smile:

Did I miss the new threads?

No, they’re coming (been kinda busy). They’ll be up by this time tomorrow…
