The Godfather wins it with 29 votes. Nothing else was particularly close. The Godfather will move on to the bracket.

 

Good, since it's (IMO) the greatest movie ever made. I catch quite a few new things every time I see it, slightly redefining the movie each time. I also noticed years after moving it to my number one that based on various collaborative rating sites, the Godfather appears in the top 50 more often than any other movie.

 

What did you think of Pink Flamingos?

 

It's one of those movies that's hard to separate. It isn't something I'd rush to see again but it was a piece of history I needed to see because of how integral John Waters is to alternative cinema. I knew about that last scene and decided to check my phone instead.

Crackers seemed like he could make it one day. The grandmother in the baby cosplay was the weirdest and felt sort of Lynchian.

Probably the best part of the film was the narrator, who I think was Waters, letting his Baltimore accent slip out. It's the funniest of all accents.
