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.
 
I voted uolj and NoBonus. Bourne, Red October, and Indy really swayed my vote in the first and Star Wars (various), Monty Python, Mad Max, and Vacation carried the second.
 
Dime Dropper was an easy choice for me, as i think I ranked him 1st or 2nd overall. It's one of the lists that was closest to my own taste. Which makes it no surprise that he's losing just like I did, haha.
 
Dime Dropper and William Blake for me. DD and uolj was pretty much the closest one for me so far. uolj had the better highlights, but DD`s list was more consistent, imho. William Blake`s list is my top ranked as of this point in time. Also, I would never vote against someone sporting Bunk Moreland as their avatar.
 
uolj and NoBonus got my votes. uolj because I felt his list had a bit more personality/diversity in it.

And NoBonus and William's lists were very tough, but I just couldn't get myself to vote for a list that included "Happiness." Sorry, that just killed the island for me.
 
Dime Dropper's was my #2, so I'm sad to be going up against his list.

And in the other matchup I think I tended to like NoBonus' light fare a bit more than William Blake's heavier stuff.
 
William Blake's list is so good, plus his avatar is Bunk from The Wire. A man with damn fine taste.

You were #1 on my list, so the feeling is reciprocated. Really like your list.


I gave the edge to William Blake in the other matchup.

William Blake's list landed at the top of my rankings on its own merit, but I have to admit the Bunk avatar would have gotten a lot of votes from me even if all the films chosen starred Pauly Shore and were directed by Joel Schumacher.
 
Looks like I'm out. I thought I had a stronger overall list (I would, though, wouldn't I), but what can you do! At least I'm going out to my number 1 seed.
 
I hoped to go a little further with the number 4 seed, especially because I expect to get slaughtered in the music draft, but I had a good time.
