Default Greatest War Movie of All Time - Round Three

Time for round three. The notable upset in round was Glory losing to Black Hawk Down. I don't think River Kwai has a chance to knock off Black Hawk Down but maybe FMJ can, we'll see. On to round three, some tough tough matchups, particularly in group 1.

Edit - Once again the poll choices are all out of order, sorry about that.

How the hell is Three Kings still in there? How could Kwai NOT beat BHD this round? Kwai is one of the best movies ever made.

How could ANY match-up be that favorable?

In round one Three Kings got matched up with the 1941 Gary Cooper movie Sgt. York, which explains why it won out that matchup. In round two it faced The Boys in Company C, another somewhat obscure movie.

The reason I put the seedings in there was to emulate the March Madness brackets. Sure, people's votes may be skewed by having this information, but people are pretty retarded anyway when it comes to these polls, voting on movies they've never seen and so forth.

Are you kidding me? Sgt. York is a classic! One of my favorite movies. And the Boys of Co. C is an awesome movie as well! It's not that obscure either. I've probably seen it 10 times.

Group 3 was the only one I had to pause over. Tough call between 'All Quiet...' and 'Platoon'

Three Kings is an amazing movie, very masterfully done. Reputed film critic Roger Ebert put it as #3 of 1999.
