V for Vendetta   13 (52%)
Fight Club   12 (48%)


Somebody broke the tie for V finally. I'd really rather not break ties so late in the tournament.  FTR, if I was going to break it it would have been for V for Vendetta anyways.

The Shining.

Dr. Strangelove is IMHO the weakest Kubrick movie.

Well, boys, I reckon this is it - nuclear combat toe to toe with the Roosskies. Now look, boys, I ain't much of a hand at makin' speeches, but I got a pretty fair idea that something doggone important is goin' on back there. And I got a fair idea the kinda personal emotions that some of you fellas may be thinkin'. Heck, I reckon you wouldn't even be human bein's if you didn't have some pretty strong personal feelin's about nuclear combat. I want you to remember one thing, the folks back home is a-countin' on you and by golly, we ain't about to let 'em down. I tell you something else, if this thing turns out to be half as important as I figure it just might be, I'd say that you're all in line for some important promotions and personal citations when this thing's over with. That goes for ever' last one of you regardless of your race, color or your creed. Now let's get this thing on the hump - we got some flyin' to do.

The Shining.

Dr. Strangelove is IMHO the weakest Kubrick movie.

Eyes Wide Shut?

Certainly, Dr Strangelove is the most overrated.

The Shining I suppose.  Pretty weak selections for the elite eight...

I liked very much EWS. It's dreamy atmosphere, suspense and frank examination of all kinds of sexual "perversion" was very compeling.

I can remember watching Eyes Wide Shut on HBO back in middle school when my parents weren't home and thinking I was so badass.

Then I watched it again in college and thought it was a pretty good movie.

Dr. Strangelove, one of my favorite films.

I'd say his last two films are probably his weakest.

One of top three favorite films:  Dr. Strangelove

I served on a board with a member of the local water authority who opposed floridation.  It was very difficult keeping a straight face.

The Shining may actually be my favorite movie, I can't decide though.

Strangelove.  The great Peter Sellers did a fantastic job.
