01. 2001: A Space Odyssey (Kubrick, 1968)
02. (Fellini, 1963)
03. Breathless (Godard, 1960)
04. Persona (Bergman, 1966)
05. Andrei Rublev (Tarkovsky, 1966)
06. Psycho (Hitchcock, 1960)
07. La Dolce Vita (Fellini, 1960)
08. Lawrence of Arabia (Lean, 1962)
09. Au hasard balthazar (Bresson, 1966)
10. L'avventura (Antonioni, 1960)

We will have a play-in round first before starting the tournament proper.

The Innocents (Clayton, 1961) - America, America (Kazan, 1963)

All easy choices except the last which was a toss-up. I really liked The Great Escape, but it got matched up with the best film of the round.
