Thank you to Lifesanocean for the numbers.

Game 6 had a straight 3 way fight as Top Gun crashed and burned. Joining Goose and Mav sadly is the Three Amigos who ride of into the sunset. Marching through to the next round with 4 votes each is The Blues Brothers, unseeded, and The Empire Strikes Back which is seeded due to hitting the 4 votes first. Who's your daddy indeed Darth.

Can't say I'm a huge fan of any of them. Only one I'd watch now is Beetlejuice

Aliens

Tek · 18/6/2015 9:20 pm

The Karate Kid.

Aliens but tbh I love them all. I've not lost my touch for picking groups of death at least. The next time I pick numbers Sieb, just ignore them.if

Not seen Beetlejuice for years, I remembered I liked it when it first came out, but memories of it are pretty vague. I remember the Beetlejuice cartoon they had in the late 80's/early 90's more.

Love Rain Man. Dustin Hoffman blows you away with his performance but the more times you watch it the more you appriciate just how good an actor Tom Cruise is in this.

Aliens is a brilliant bombastic sequel, love watching Bill Paxton and Michael Biehn in almost anything. It's also very atmospheric and tense with the Alien motion tracker scene, just the sound effects alone when the aliens are perceived to be getting closer, just awesome.

But my vote has to go to The Karate Kid, I love a lot of the cheesy movie villains, and there is a bunch of them in this. I actually bought a Cobra Kai T-shirt the other day. Plus this is Mrs Sieb's favourite 80's film in this competition so I had to vote for it.

More Tom Cruise love.

Definitely in a cult IMO

Beetlejuice

Hamiltonarab · 19/6/2015 12:12 pm

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice..............Rain Man!!!

Rain Man for me.

Cannot stand the Karate Kid I'm afraid, too many fannies at school to blame for that.

"It's a 1949 Buick Roadmaster. Straight 8. Fireball 8. Only 8,985 production models. Dad lets me drive slow on the driveway. But not on Monday, definitely not on Monday."

Tightest game we have had so far, voting closes at 9am tomorrow morning so still plenty of time to vote.

Can I also have 4 numbers in advance for the next game please, from 1-32, that includes you Lifesanocean! I think there might be a few 'groups of death' left anyway.

Hamiltonarab · 19/6/2015 2:53 pm

2,8,15,27

PatReilly · 19/6/2015 3:21 pm

Aliens: 2
