And here we are, the last two quotes standing. The Sandlot vs Star Wars. I’m honestly not too surprised to see these two in the championship, and I expect it to be a close vote to determine the winner. The Final Four matchups were both close with the winners pulling away late to both win by 8 votes.
And so ends the Cinderella run of “Houston, we have a problem” which was also the final Tom Hanks quote left in the bracket. Hanks had the most quotes of anyone in the bracket with three. Six other actors had two quotes in the bracket. Jack Nicholson and Arnold Schwarzenegger saw both of their quotes go out in the Sweet Sixteen. 80s and 90s quotes performed the best in the bracket, but they also made up the majority of the quotes in the bracket with 35 out of 64. That is likely reflective of yours truly, who was highly influenced by movies of that era. But quotes from the 30s and 40s also held their own, starting with 7 quotes and taking two all the way to the Elite Eight. But at the end of the day we are left with a quote from the 70s (“May the Force Be With You) and a quote from the 90s (You’re killing me, Smalls”).
Enough with the quirky facts, though. Let’s get to the voting. This is it. Only one quote will be left standing. And as I’ve done the past few years, there is a bonus question for you to vote on your pick for next year’s bracket. Thanks to all who voted this year!
