    Zulu was robbed

    Agree. The list of films that got robbed is a mile long, but inevitable with only 32 spots available.

    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.

    Most egregious inclusion and a blackeye for HH IMO.

    Otherwise pretty good.

    I wouldn't have put it in, but it made a lot of people's lists. Dumb and Dumber and Hangover didn't do as well in my straw pole as I would have liked.

    Pretty sure I forgot to include Dumb and Dumber to my eternal shame.

    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.

    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.

    Don't twist Yella Piss. I didn't say anything of the sort.

    I did reply to a post that gave IMDB user rankings. I'm not saying one is better than the other.

    This is a college football message bored?

    Borat was a must include. The hardest I've ever laughed at a movie on first viewing was Borat, only thing that was close was the Hangover.

    Lady Antebellum got into the country tourney.
