Best 90s Movie Bracket - Round 2




Voting in Round 1 of the Best 90s Movie bracket is complete!  There were a few surprises, but most of the top seeds advanced, creating even harder matchups in Round 2.  Here are some things we’ve learned after the first round.  Mrs. Doubtfire is a lot more popular than I ever would have guessed, whereas JFK may as well have been forgotten.  Of the upsets that occurred, Mrs. Doubtfire taking out Goodfellas was probably the biggest surprise.  Going into the tournament, I would have pegged Goodfellas as one of the favorites to win, but perhaps that movie hasn’t aged as well as I thought.  I also feel bad for L.A. Confidential after it made a shockingly early exit.  Not only did it lose Best Picture to Titanic in 1997, it had to watch Scream sneak by for the upset in this bracket.  It really is a phenomenal film that doesn’t get the credit it deserves.  But, also, I had no idea people liked Scream that much.  Another interesting note is that of the ten Best Picture winners in the bracket, only 4 made it to the second round.  But enough with these useless facts.  Let’s get to Round 2!  There really are some intriguing matchups, including an all Tom Hanks showdown.  I can’t even begin to make predictions after seeing how the first round went down, but we are guaranteed at least two double digit seeds in the Sweet Sixteen, so that's exciting.  Vote for your favorites below, and then you can check out the entire bracket at the end of this post.
