Greatest War Movie of All Time - Elite Eight

[swede123]

Well, we're down to the last eight. I was sad to see The Deerhunter go in the last round, but it lost to a very worthy film. As much as people bitch about using IMDB's rankings to determine seedings it's amazing how well it seems to work out towards the later rounds. Six out of eight contestants left alive are one and two seeds. On to the matchups...

There is no way platoon should still be in there.

Group three, while containing some great movies lacked movies with mass public appeal. Now it will most likely make it to the Final Four round. I don't know about all the Platoon hating though, I think it's a pretty solid film, and my personal favorite performance by Charlie Sheen.

The Great Escape vs Stalag 17 was the hardest choice in the last round. Patton should still be here too.

I thought all 4 choices were pretty tough this round. 3 sets of very good movies matched up vs. each other and 1 set that doesn't really deserve to be here imo.

Yikes, already down to page 3. Vote away, children.

There's an early script of Saving Private Ryan pasted all over the internet...I was skimming over it this morning. Talk about changing the movie around!
