BlueVoid and smirnoff, you had such different experiences with your matchups.  Even round three is a real crapshoot. I wish Rice People was available here.


I'm a little lost, but want to get back into this game. pixote have A Petal and The Puppetmaster been taken yet? If not, I'd like to watch those. :)

Well, Netflix silently removed Happy End from my queue, so I'm assuming they don't have it anymore. Go ahead and throw both of my films back into the list as I'm probably not going to have time to get to them anytime soon, anyway.

Youtube is how I've watched maybe a half dozen films in this thing. So great to find one on there. I just watched Comrades, A Love Story for my matchup there. Streaming in full, decent quality.

Yes! YouTube is a great resource for this bracket. We should create a list which lists those available on YouTube. Not sure on the forum rules for actually linking them, but they are pretty easy to search for.

There's a few that are there but missing english subtitles. I don't imagine there a way to add those after the fact, but I'm not sure.

First an obvious question, but I will ask.  Did you check if they provided the subtitles under CC and are not just looking to see if they are embedded in the video itself?  Assuming yes.

There are a few sites where you can download subtitles but you would also have to download the Youtube video and then try to see if they can be synced up.  A bit of trouble and not sure what luck you would have to get them in sync as the subtitles maybe from a different video file.

Yes. I like those ones best because the text is clear regardless of what the video looks like (usually bad). :)
