40 Years of Movies - Final Four!

 


And then there were four!  After four weeks of voting we have made it to the final four.  The four movies that are left are nothing short of classics, and they blitzed their way into the Final Four with all four movies winning in dominating fashion to advance.  I thought we would have some much closer results from the past round, but the closest matchup was decided by 12 votes.  Now it will be interesting to see how close the next round will be.

Taking a look at the four movies, the first thing that stands out is the clear Steven Spielberg influence.  Two of the movies are directed by Spielberg, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Jurassic Park, and they will be going head to head for a chance to compete for the championship.  A third movie, The Goonies, was produced by Spielberg, so his stamp is all over this final four.  Another trend that has been a staple of this entire tournament is the 80s dominance, as three of the four movies were released in the 80s.  And we're guaranteed to have at least one 80s movie in the championship as The Goonies takes on The Princess Bride, in our pirate influenced matchup.  So let's get to it and get down to the vote!
