Round of 32 (Tier 3): Starship Troopers vs. The Master

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

STARSHIP TROOPERS

Johnny Rico: Someone asked me once if I knew the difference between a civilian and a citizen. I know now. A citizen has the courage to make the safety of the human race their personal responsibility. Dizzy was my friend. She was a soldier. But most important, she was a citizen of the Federation.

Versus...

THE MASTER

Freddie Quell: What do you do?
Lancaster Dodd: I am a writer, a doctor, a nuclear physicist and a theoretical philosopher. But above all, I am a man, a hopelessly inquisitive man, just like you.

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

 

the master would only be topped by a small handful of remaining films for me. this is not one of them, though i like it a good amount.

 

The Master to win it all

 

All? I won't vote for it

This pairing? I will vote for it.

 

Hurts to vote against the big bugs but The Master for sure

 

Starship Troopers is great, but I don't love it as much as most people do.

 

One more vote for the pig fuck

 

The Master

 

Can’t understate how great Starship Troopers is, but very few films would fare well going up against PTA’s masterwork.

 

The results make sense considering how much sacrifice it takes to be a citizen instead of a civilian.

 

With 76 percent of the vote, The Master will face Parasite in the Sweet 16.
