Round of 32 (Tier 1): Apocalypse Now vs. Paris, Texas

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

APOCALYPSE NOW

Colonel Kurtz: I worry that my son might not understand what I've tried to be. And if I were to be killed, Willard, I would want someone to go to my home and tell my son everything – everything I did, everything you saw – because there's nothing that I detest more than the stench of lies. And if you understand me, Willard, you will do this for me.

Versus...

PARIS, TEXAS

Hunter: What's that?
Travis: A vacant lot. A vacant lot, I bought that land when we were all together, with your mom. I thought we might live there someday.
Hunter: Where?
Travis: Paris...Texas.

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

 

Apocalypse Now definitely takes this one for me.

 

Welcome revenge for Boyhood.

 

this should be the biggest blowout of the tournament but it won’t be

 

I mean Paris, Texas is an excellent film. I just didn’t connect with it very much. There are worse films still around

 

Apocalypse Now

 

Apocalypse.

End of story.

 

sure. there are few better films still around than apocalypse though.

 

wim wenders gang rise up

 

Now this one is difficult for me. I’m not sure

 

"We train young men to drop fire on people, but their commanders won't allow them to write "fuck" on their airplanes because it's obscene"

That line has always stuck with me

 

I love both movies a lot. Apocalypse Now is better, but I’m already offended at the disrespect shown to Wim Wenders here

 

I think I just like Paris, Texas too much

 

Threw Paris, Texas a bone.

 

With 77 percent of the vote, Apocalypse Now will face The Big Lebowski in the Sweet 16.
