Sweet 16 (Tier 1): The Big Lebowski vs. Apocalypse Now

We are getting down to the truly spectacular. Who can make it to the Elite 8?

THE BIG LEBOWSKI

"A letdown, another comedy that's strange for the sake of being strange. This one's a riff on detective movies. It has nothing to say but does take a long time to say it...the film plays like a bad inside joke." - Hillel Italie, Associated Press

APOCALYPSE NOW

"The finished film remains a mess of tangled, turgid continuity and florid, mock-operatic style -- at best a collection of production numbers and set pieces waiting in rain for a story capable of accumulating suspense and meaning." - Gary Arnold, Washington Post

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

 

Apocalypse Now baby

 

Both masterworks but Apocalypse Now is astounding, and gets my vote

 

this is what you get when you find a stranger in the alps

 

This one isnt fair. I Dont want to choose. Lobster or cracked crab? Why not both?

I dont want lebowski to bow out.... I sense impending doom though, as Apocalypse, to me, is better.

 

went lebowski. heart wants what the heart wants

 

With 53 percent of the vote, The Big Lebowski will face 2001: A Space Odyssey in the Elite 8.

 

Wow. kind of shocked on this one....
