40 Years of Movies - Sweet Sixteen

 



Just like that we're down to sixteen!  The second round was full of close matchups with six matchups decided by seven or fewer votes, and three of those decided by only two votes.  That can only mean the choices get tougher in the next round.  As we head to the Sweet Sixteen, let's take a look at some of the surprises from the last round.  We lost our first 1-seed and 2-seed as both L.A. Confidential and Knives Out lost.  There's also only one 3-seed left in the entire tournament.  So the other top seeds should be on high alert moving forward.  Only one region, the Raiders of the Lost Ark region, saw all top four seeds advance to this stage.  Meanwhile, Number Five is still alive as plucky 14-seed Short Circuit squeaked out another close win to advance.  And if you take a closer look at the remaining films, you'll see that the 80s are absolutely dominating, with 10 of the remaining 16 movies.  It will be interesting to see if that domination, or maybe it's nostalgia, continues.  With that said, let's get to what everyone is waiting for, the vote!
