Round of 64 (Tier 2): El Topo vs. 8 1/2

Round one is here. 61 years of film with 3 convenient ties. What film will come out on top?

For this round, we start with:

EL TOPO, a film I will definitely try to watch this weekend.

Against...

8 1/2, Federico Fellini's magnum opus about the creative process and how every woman in a mans' life leaves a permanent mark. Endlessly parodied and referenced, it is about the cost of having it all but not wanting any of it.

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

 

Feel like it's going to get destroyed here but I have to go with El Topo. Not much beats early Jodorowsky for me. 8 1/2 is fantastic though.

 

abstaining

 

yup. abstaining as well.

 

Cowards

 

I love El Topo but it's 8 1/2.

 

Yeah El Topo is dope but... 8 1/2

 

El Topo was interesting, but 8 1/2 is a foundation of cinema.

 

With 71 percent of the vote, 8 1/2 will face Punch-Drunk Love in the Round of 32.
