Thank you for the numbers Tek.
Game 4, in the second round, said a fond farewell to E.T. who finally managed to phone home, and also the Untouchables, which did not live up to their name after all. Which leaves Airplane! as the winner, and who succesfully navigates the way through to the semi final, I am serious, and don't call me Shirley.
Round 2/Game 5
I have a bad feeling about this...

Just to let everybody know, the games in this round will be taking a little 'hiatus' until Sunday the 19th of July.
This is due to taking the family away for a wee summer holiday, so I will be away from the Mac where I put the posters and youtube clips up etc.
I will still be able to look in (cos I am sad that way!), but thats all I can do. This game will keep on running until I get back up the road and on the Mac.
Your patience is appriciated

I love Das Boot, I would recommend this film to anyone who hasnt seen it, or better yet get the mini series.
I really enjoyed Big, especially when I was younger.
But I am a Star Wars whore, so my vote goes to the second best movie of the franchise (IMO, Return of the Jedi for the win!), The Empire Strikes Back.

It's gotta be Empire Strikes Back
Never seen Das Boot and I'm a huge fan of Big, but there's very little that betters TESB.

The Empire Strikes Back. A movie masterpiece.
