_The Fugitive_ vs. _Citizen Kane_ was harder than expected. _The Princess Bride_ vs. _Office Space_ was just unfair… ---

Well, at least one Kubrick film is going to make it into the next round… ---

For me the tough one was _Stand By Me_ vs _The Seven Samurai_. ---

I couldn’t vote in matches 1, 3, 5, 9, 13, 20, 21, 22, 29, and 30 — each pair was too close to call. I’m surprised that Jaws is losing to Fellowship of the Ring, and 2001 is losing to Blazing Saddles. ---

The Bourne Identity vs The Naked Gun is the only one that left me with the feeling of 2 mediocre films battling it out. Every other match has at least 1 stonker. ---

Based on the list of movies left I will be picking Naked Gun every time I can, unless it’s against Airplane!. Speaking of which, I was planning on watching Naked Gun again today. ---

@What_Exit for posterity’s sake, would you kindly rename the title to Round of 64? This was posted before I realized my error. ---
