Look at tubby going all vertical, when the rest are going horizontal.   

Btw: I think horizontal is the way forward. Makes it much easier to read and judge the lineups as a whole, I think.

[Hazell]

Las has The Host, The Royal Tenenbaums and There Will Be Blood so that's an automatic vote winner for me.

Then it's between Betty and tubby. tubby has Superbad and American Psycho but Shaun of the Dead, Memento, Borat and the underrated Inglorious Basterds swings it. Tough call though.

[El Lobo]

Betty to win the whole thing Just got 4/5 of my favourites in there

Also...shame on you Max for picking one of the worst Potter movies AND calling it the wrong name!

[Crosby Nick]

Very tight here. All four have really good lists and all have at least 2 that came out too or joint top in each category.

Tubby was my first choice I think. Hotel Rwanda, Minirity Report and American Psycho are all very good. City if God is great and Superbad is hilarious.

Betty just edged out the other two. Borat is my favourite comedy of the 4. Shaun if the Seas and Memento both really good.

Las and Max unlucky. Think the Fellowship is my favourite LOTR choice just because the scale of the first one blew me away in the cinema. There Will be Blood also excellent. Shrek might look a bit dated now (does it?) but felt genuinely different to all other animation around back then and was very funny. No Country also gave us one of the best villains of recent times. The Terminator in a bad wig.

Also...shame on you Max for picking one of the worst Potter movies AND calling it the wrong name!

It's a great film IMO. I watched as 12 year old and was blown away. It is introduced in a visual format, and all we know about the HP universe. The Hogwarts, Diagon alley, platform 9 3/4, quidditch all the professors and students etc. It is the film in the series for with the most wonder and magic.

When I watched it in India it was called Sorcerer's stone I am not sure why so I always called it that but I know the books call it Philosopher's stone and the same with release in other countries.

Lastrador is a shoe in with his collection of crackers and could win the whole thing. I've got a thing about Simon Pegg. Don't get it with him. Can't get past that and I've tried so that's that. BB nearly redeems himself with This is England, a seminal British movie with an outstanding Director In Meadows. Nearly but not quite. Sorry, BB, it's not you, it's me.

Max picks have some merit with No Country and Downfall but not enough for my personal choice so it's tubby as my other choice, who has

[Lastrador]

Well done Betty on reaching the final, such a great lineup! Tubby will fight for a place with some other big hitters.

Unlucky Max, I thought your lineup was magnificent with several of my personal favourites in it.

I'm glad I didn't advance to be honest, as I found out after posting up the thread that I had fucked up the 5 different year rule on my selection. For some reason, I had Mulholland Drive as a 2000 pick on my excel, even though I had it correctly as a 2001 film when posting it. Sorry for that gents, just really busy right now and it kind of slipped.
