    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:



    VIDEODROME
    , David Cronenberg's all-too-timely story about the ways that media controls us.

    Against...



    COME AND SEE, a haunting tale about the horrors of World War II. While Americans are used to the much happier endings of Western Front films, the Eastern Front is about the Soviet Union sacrificing a literal tens of millions of people against an enemy that seemed to be unstoppable. While Nazis in Paris is a powerful symbol, our protagonist watches as he loses literally everything, even his humanity.

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

    I love Videodrome but Come and See is an easy choice. One of the most impactful first watches I've ever had.

    both brutal in their own ways, but videodrome takes this for me. I need to watch the restoration of come and see eventually but I just cant bring myself to watch it again

    Come and See is hands down one of the greatest war movies ever made. Brutal but poignant.

    Same, I had to take a couple small breaks watching it for the first time because of how harrowing it is.
