Everyone can vote for these playoff match-ups (even if you didn't participate in the draft). Don't be shy!

Feel free to back-up your rationale here.

This was a tough call for me, which is a little surprising considering Warhawk has Blade Runner 2049 and Pulp Fiction. Throw in John Wick, The Warriors, and a litany of popcorn munchers, and that's a great recipe for a good time.

The Cap counters with Ghostbusters and a whole bunch of movies I either enjoy (Ex Machina, Dr. Strangelove, Star Wars), admire (Arrival, Ikiru, The Fall) sheepishly love (Bill and Ted, Galaxy Quest, Romeo + Juliet) or have a burning interest (King of California, Winter's Bone, Cleo from 5 to 7, Equinox Flower, Limelight). That's quite a lot of diverse ground covered. Enough to put his list in my top 4.

Yet, not enough for the win. What can I say? I love the artistry of filmmaking, but when at the edge of the apocalypse, all I really want to do is munch some popcorn.

Congrats, Warhawk!

Thanks, Captain! Yours was one of my favorite lists as well. Job well done.

Kudos to our young commish, who put this together, and kept it going and on the rails for the better part of half a year.

... and his film taste ain't so bad either.

That'll do pig. That'll do.

Not to bump an old thread unnecessarily, but shouldn’t KF get some kind of royalties from this idea?
