I'm not the biggest LOTR guy, but RotK getting an eight seed against The Empire Strikes Back is a screw job. I mean clearly Empire's coming out of the bracket, but c'mon...

European Vacation shouldn't even be in the field much less a 6 seed.

I think they should let TDKR breathe before comparing it to other films. I mean it just came out

They did the seeding by putting it to a facebook vote. They listed films on their page and asked people to vote on what should be in the bracket, and they were seeded by their vote.

Which just demonstrates how remarkably stupid most of Grantland's readership is. That is an f'n terrible bracket. They should've made the bracket and then let the readers ruin it with their general stupidity.

Once again: NO EVIL DEAD 2.

How is European Vacation rated higher than Christmas?

Bracket 1
#1 Godfather Part II
#5 Beverly Hills Cop II

#6 The Two Towers
#7 The Naked Gun 2 1/2

Bracket 2
Tie between the Return of the King and Empire Strikes Back. Seriously, whose bright idea was it to make these two face off against each other in the first round? Fantasy's only Best Picture winner vs the greatest twist of all time? Not to mention he puts both Star Wars sequels against both Lord of the Rings sequels in the first round? frick it, I'll go with ESB
#5 Rocky III (seriously, you've got this and Bad Boys facing off)

#6 The Dark Knight Rises
#2 Back to the Future 2

Bracket 3
#1 The Dark Knight
#5 Wrath of Khan

#6 Superman 2
#2 T2

Bracket 4
#1 Aliens
#5 Toy Story 3

#6 Mission Impossible 4
#2 The Last Crusade

Not only that, but the other Star Wars and Lord of the Rings are against each other as well. What an abortion of a lineup. Its like putting the #1 and #3 team in the country play each other as the first round of March Madness.

I hardly read the brackets, but I'm going chalk in my Final Four: Godfather Part II, TDK, Aliens, Empire Strikes Back

In the vein of '92 Duke/Kentucky...Aliens upends TDK, but Godfather Part II takes home the title.

TDK had a cakewalk to the final 4, not facing T2 till the elite 8. Meanwhile, Aliens had Toy Story 3, Temple of Doom , Rocky III, and Last Crusade.

That's why I've got Aliens advancing to the finals...battle tested momentum in the tourney, just run out of gas against the '72 UCLA Bruins/Godfather Part II

Its a solid list, the seeding is just off. Two Towers as a 6 seed? Spider Man 2 a 7 seed? Must just be the nerd in me.
