70 of 203 — 34.5%.

This could have been the quickest first round of a bracket ever.

Retro Filmspots is just so captivating!  How can we not get caught up by it?

I'm so sorry. Haven't caught the bug yet. :(
It's nice to see the community so enthusiastic over something though.

I'll cheer from the sideline.

Any reason in particular you are holding back? Not just a question for you, but for the few that have mentioned they arent participating.

It's basically lack of time. Too many other movies cometing for my interest. I can't just dedicate myself to solely watching 1957 movies when I'm trying to catch up with what's been going on in theatres the last 20 years (I've missed a lot) AND trying to catch the newest films.

Certainly I watch old movies once in a while and I enjoy it but I don't want to leave out everything else to participate in this project.

Lobby, I watched Drive Angry 3D (not in 3D) in between Throne of Blood and Paths of Glory. I don't think anybody is requiring that you devote your entire filmwatching time to the retrospots. It's just a fun thing to do if you happen to be watching a movie. If you watch 10 movies between now and the time the Retrospots end, why not make one or two of them from the Retrospots?
