Wong people, there's no shame in being outclassed by 2001. Chungking is damned good. But if I'm being honest I just don't like the stuff with the crime lady. https://twitter.com/coopercooperco/status/1321521050706972675
THE THING vs THE GODFATHER PART II
The Thing not only should win this, it must win this. If you mfers vote for Godfather 2: The Quest to Make Michael Corleone Interesting, ugh. Thankfully don't think that'll happen

PARASITE vs PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC
Parasite is a perfect thriller, Passion deserves to play on a loop in museums. I know how this'll shake out already, damn shame.

MULHOLLAND DRIVE vs RASHOMON
Mulholland Drive is an impressive movie but it's not one that I find myself loving in retrospect. I think the ending wraps things up a bit too neatly. Rashomon is one of a handful of movies that could win this and deserve it, so

DO THE RIGHT THING vs STALKER
Gonna say I lean Stalker here, if only because of the way Do the Right Thing ends on dueling quotes from Malcolm X and MLK. C'mon Spike. Can't be too mad that Stalker's gonna lose, surprised it made it this far tbh

THE APARTMENT vs SILENCE OF THE LAMBS
Gonna do the rare "OTP pulls out the IdPol card" maneuver and say that while Silence is perfect entertainment, I cannot sanction what amounts to a pulpy terf movie beating one as charming as The Apartment https://twitter.com/coopercooperco/status/1321521059716308999?s=19

REAR WINDOW vs CHILDREN OF MEN
Don't love either of these, they're both pretty impressive cinematic objects in their own ways, Children of Men's "the children are the future" politics are fairly obnoxious to me, so Hitchcock for the W

CASABLANCA vs GET OUT
Kinds surprised film people haven't backlashed against Casablanca yet because it's really not that good, mostly just fun to see the actors do their thing, the story all fits together weird. But I do still like it more than Get Out, which I find very minor

ALIEN vs EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
I just don't love Alien, man. This is everybody's favorite horror movie now. It's good. Really good even. There are other horror movies tho
Gotta go Empire

END OF EVANGELION vs THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY
If I had my way, Sergio would win the whole thing. That ain't gonna happen but can we at least let it beat the anime? I don't wanna watch the damn anime under a time crunch. I wanna watch it on my own time.

THERE WILL BE BLOOD vs SINGIN IN THE RAIN
honestly a toss-up for me, probably gonna throw my vote to Singin' but I think this is a fairly even match. Been a minute since I saw Blood tho

MOONLIGHT VS METROPOLIS
Moonlight is a movie that imo should not have made it this far on the basis of only being pretty good, Metropolis is a movie whose only argument for making it this far is historical importance. Metropolis is more my thing, aesthetically, so, I pick it

GOODFELLAS vs THE GRADUATE
One day I'll give The Graduate's unengaging ass another chance. Not today, though. Scorsese for the W

I think Blue Velvet is mid-tier Lynch but The Muppet Movie kinda runs out of gas 2/3 through. I'm fine with voting 4 the meme in theory but not for a movie I don't think is great. https://twitter.com/coopercooperco/status/1321521074576760835?s=19
THE THIRD MAN vs INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS
I'd love to help Orson out but The Third Man's plot kinda sucks. Llewyn Davis is funny. Giving it to the Coens.

VERTIGO vs INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS
Don't really understand Vertigo's appeal to the cinephilic elite, like it but it's much more dull than hypnotic to my eyes, and Basterds has one of the best endings ever. Here's hoping for Quentin.
