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.
