Sweet 16 (Tier 4): Jaws vs. Mulholland Dr.

We are getting down to the truly spectacular. Who can make it to the Elite 8?

JAWS

"While I have no doubt that Jaws will make a bloody fortune for Universal and producers Richard Zanuck and David Brown, it is a coarse-grained and exploitive work which depends on excess for its impact. Ashore it is a bore, awkwardly staged and lumpily written." - Charles Champlin, Los Angeles Times

MULHOLLAND DR.

"Lynch needs to renew himself with an influx of the deep feeling he has for people, for outcasts, and lay off the cretins and hobgoblins and zombies for a while. Mulholland Drive is the product of David Lynch, Inc." - Peter Rainer, Vulture

The winner will move on to the next round. The full bracket is attached below.

 

@OhTheWater you accidentally voted for Jaws. Do you want to switch it?

 

Easy Peasy. Amityville, for the win.

 

Going with the big shark

 

Might be the easiest pick so far, Mulholland Drive all day.

 

Justice for Alex Kintner

Mulholland Dr by a whole lot

 

Jaws by a whooooole lot

 

Nom Nom Nom

 

why does Jaws keep getting lucky draws

 

The winner of this matchup is facing either The Godfather or Goodfellas. That will stop some momentum.

 

I’m pulling for Mulholland Dr to win it all even though there are 3 films left that I would put above it

 

This has to be where the shark movie falls.

 

I saw Mulholland Dr once and it made zero sense, thus it sucks. Go jaws!

 

I have to abstain from voting again because I've still never seen Mulholland Dr.

 

vote for it anyway please

 

Jaws is becoming the best movie I hate

 

Jaws is probably the 2nd best movie left after Big Lebowski

 

Just an impossibly bad take

 

The worst take of 2021 posted at the last minute

 

Jaws is the total package y’all, accept it

 

I think this is the most embarrassed I've ever been by this site.

 

i’m happy
