    It is with great pleasure that Yellow Snow’s Record Shoppe presents to our loyal customers, the 2019 Hardcore Husky Favorite Films of all Time Tournament. Shout out to @Doog_de_Jour who volunteered her time to serve on the executive seeding committee!! We realize there are many glaring omissions, and already other ideas are in the hopper (e.g., The All James Bond Tournament present by @Tequilla and @Dennis_DeYoung ) . But we did our best to have these entries and seedings accurately reflect the will of the people; executive decisions were kept to a minimum. TYFYS to all who submitted their top 10 (and longer for those who aren’t skrong at Maff) lists.

    And now the brackets / seedings….poles will open tomorrow for Round 1.

    Hollywood Blockbusters
    1- Raiders of the Lost Ark
    8- The Dark Knight
    4- Alien
    5- Terminator 1
    3- Jaws
    6- Die Hard
    2- Empire Strikes Back
    7- Return of the King

    Drama / Crime
    1- Godfather I
    8- Shawshank Redemption
    4- Silence of the Lambs
    5- The Usual Suspects
    3- Goodfellas
    6- Heat
    2- Godfather II
    7- Pulp Fiction

    Comedy / Satire
    1- Airplane
    8- Old School
    4- The Big Lebowski
    5- The Graduate
    3- Animal House
    6- Borat
    2- Blazing Saddles
    7- The 40 Year Old Virgin

    War & Clint
    1- Apocalypse Now
    8 - Braveheart
    4- Dirty Harry
    5 - Gladiator
    3- Full Metal Jacket
    6- Saving Private Ryan
    2- Patton
    7 - The Outlaw Josey Wales



    Criminal. How you gonna put a possible championship game in the first round?

    I like to complain about this shit but refuse to volunteer to participate in making the tourney, that's what I like to do.
    That was my thought too. I honestly am probably taking the 8 seed there and Godfather is tits. No way either of those should be eliminated in the first round.

    That drama/crime bracket is stacked though, no real wtf inclusions there.
    At some point, everyone has to play the Godfather. If Shawshank pulls a round 1 upset then this exercise just got a hell of a lot more chinteresting.

    Godfather II is the GOAT, IMO

    Full disclosure: Not the biggest Godfather fan. Had never seen them until about five years ago and watched them because I realized I had skipped a cultural phenomenon. Didn't see anything remarkable about them. Shawshank a million times better than any Godfather movie.

    Honestly, I think spots 5- 8 in Drama / Crime are all about equal. IFL Shawshank, but Heat, Usual Suspects and Pulp Fiction are all equally good IMHO.

    Lot of classics on there, but if you expect those films to do well on a college football message bored, I can't help you.
