Round of 32 (Tier 2): Punch-Drunk Love vs. 8 1/2

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

PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE

Barry Egan: I didn't ask for a shrink, that must've been somebody else. Also, that pudding isn't mine. Also, I'm wearing this suit today because I had a very important meeting this morning, and I don't have a crying problem.

Versus...

8 1/2

Guido Anselmi: I thought my ideas were so clear. I wanted to make an honest film. No lies whatsoever. I thought I had something so simple to say. Something useful to everybody. A film that could help bury forever all those dead things we carry within ourselves. Instead, I'm the one without the courage to bury anything at all. When did I go wrong? I really have nothing to say, but I want to say it all the same.

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

 

Punch-Drunk Love is now my favourite film in the bracket, let's go all the way Sandman!

 

For now it is Punch-Drunk Love but that could change.

 

8 1/2 by a clear margin for me, though PDL is sometimes in my top 3 PTA

 

Ill pass. I dont feel I should vote on this one :/

I didnt give PDL enough credit, I bet.....

 

I like Punch Drunk Love a little more I guess but I don’t think I should

 

You should.

 

8 1/2 is pretty indisputably more significant, but I wouldn't consider it a personal favorite by any means

 

abstaining but personally pulling for PDL

 

Had to go 8 1/2

 

With 63 percent of the vote, Punch-Drunk Love will face Pulp Fiction in the Sweet 16.

 

oooooh
