We’ve made it to the Sweet Sixteen! Round 2 is complete and we’ve narrowed the
field to 16 of the best movies from the 90s.
A few takeaways from the second round of voting was the overall lack of
upsets and lack of close results. The
only real upset from the second round was the 6 seed Fargo besting the 3 seed
Terminator 2: Judgement Day. And even
though there are two double digit seeds in the Sweet 16, those two teams beat
other double digit seeds to advance. But
after all the upsets in Round 1, there is only one region in which all the top
four seeds advanced. Aside from the lack
of upsets, only one matchup was decided by less than 10 votes, so after the
craziness of Round 1, the second round seemed to restore more consensus among voting. Now looking ahead to the next round, I’m
curious to see if the higher seeds will continue to advance or if we will see
any more upsets. Six of the eight matchups
feature movies with seed differences of at least three spots, so this has the
potential to be a very exciting round. Looking
at the remaining films, eight of the movies are drama/thrillers, six are
family/comedies, and the last two are action movies. Only one animated movie has been eliminated
thus far in the bracket, but the majority of action movies have been. It will be interesting moving forward to see
where the favorites lie, and there are two matchups in this round that pit an
animated classic against a popular drama.
So let’s get to it! Cast your
votes below and check out the entire bracket at the bottom of this post.
