Round of 32 (Tier 2): The Silence of the Lambs vs. Eraserhead

Half of our yearly winners remain. The matchups are getting tougher. Who will proceed?

THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS

Dr. Hannibal Lecter: Why do you think he removes their skins, Agent Starling? Enthrall me with your acumen.
Clarice Starling: It excites him. Most serial killers keep some sort of trophies from their victims.
Dr. Hannibal Lecter: I didn't.
Clarice Starling: No. No, you ate yours.

Versus...

ERASERHEAD

Mary X: You wouldn't mind marrying me, would you Henry?
Henry Spencer: Well... No.

The winner will move on to the next round. The full bracket is attached below.

 

Eraserhead is better, but this is a weaker bracket.

 

Both are great. I almost voted Lambs because Demme deserves the acclaim, but Eraserhead is better. Lynch consistently burns sequences deeply into my brain.

 

Both are good. I'll go with Eraserhead

 

Both are good, sure. I go with Clarice.

 

Eraserhead for sure

 

Silence of the Lambs

 

Lambs. I will never get the cult of lynch. get over it.

 

Lynch is one of the most genuinely unique voices in the history of cinema. You get over it.

 

Every David Lynch movie is better than The Color of Money.

 

rent free

 

FWIW - I will watch Color of Money anytime, and twice on Sunday, if its on. (unless the Patriots are playing).

 

We have had a lot of blowouts this round, but there is a 1 vote difference with 24 hours to go. Who makes the Sweet Sixteen?

 

With 51 percent of the vote, The Silence of the Lambs will face Raging Bull in the Sweet 16.

 

Close!

 

good

 

Can't wait for Silence to get bodied by Raging Bull next round

 

as it should

 

Fuck, I missed this one. Would have voted Eraserhead.

 

This is some bullshit.
