I've decided I want in here...I have a hard time figuring out where everything stands over in the 80s US bracket. Can I get a pairing?
Sure, but things work differently over here. Just pick two movies from the index over here and you're ready to go.
'Noke speaks the truth ... but The Eel vs. Lee Rock sounds promising to me, if you're looking for suggestions.

I have my eye on a couple things. I'm going to see which of the non-Netflix ones I might be able to get before I claim anything officially. The Eel is not available on Netflix right now, btw.

Ok, I had no luck with harder to find things so I am picking A Moment of Romance and Shower as my pairing.

I posted a review for the first half of what will be my last match-up in this round today, I'm hopeful to get to the second film in my pairing tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest.

Sorry about your experience with Stairway to the Distant Past, Bill.  I thought I had read that the films in that trilogy stood alone okay.  Guess not.  Maybe I'll try to sneak in a viewing of The Most Terrible Time in My Life first, should Stairway come up for resurrection.

Yeah, I felt something was off about it initially, but there was a montage scene where I knew these people had to be previously known somehow, because they hadn't appeared in this movie yet. That's when I did some digging and found out about the trilogy, but who knows, maybe they do stand alone okay and it's just not a movie that worked for me.

Wrote up my review for the second half of my match-up, and posted both reviews in the topic. And with that I am done with the first round of this thing, I look forward to round 2. :)

Hard to believe this bracket is just about two years old.

Wow, I would've guessed closer to one. Good things take time I guess ;)
