Hello Everyone,
I have created a 32 movie bracket challenge featuring many of the most beloved and acclaimed classics from the Golden Era. They will be facing off in a single elimination tournament format. Below is the official bracket where you can view the entirety of the first round matchups. I will create a post for each matchup and the the film that receives the most votes will advance to the next round. I'll likely limit posting to just 2-3 matchups a week for you all to vote on because I don't want the Classic Cinema thread to be bombarded with polls. I have asked TopBilled to remove each matchup/poll after it has concluded so as to not clutter the thread.
A few things regarding how I chose the following 32 films:
1) I chose sound era films from the 1930s-1960s
2) I decided on Hollywood productions, which leaves many great foreign films out.
3) I tried to be as subjective as possible in choosing films that are highly acclaimed either for their genre and/or overall.
I believe you can click on the below bracket to enlarge it, because it shows up mighty small on my end, so hopefully everyone can view the bracket. Again, I will be posting the first few matchups on the left bracket soon and voting will be open for about a week to ensure folks have an opportunity to vote if they so choose. When the first round ends, I will update the bracket so everyone is aware of the films that have advanced and the next round's matchups. Hope this is fun for all and I encourage discussion in the comments section of the film matchups and your overall preferences.
P.S. Please excuse any grammatical errors in the bracket below, the BracketHQ program I used did this once I saved it to a PNG file and I'm unsure why.
