    First off, I'd like to thank Son of the Suns for coming up with this idea in the first place. The Television tournament went great and I'm hoping the same will be true for the movie portion.

    With that, let the game begin. We're open for nominations now. Read the rules below and post your nominations. When we have met our quota, the tournament will begin and we'll discover what the best Sci-Fi / Fantasy movie really is. I don't know about you guys, but I've been losing sleep over this. I need to know! :p

    Now, let the nominations begin.



    Rules and Guidelines

    • There will be 128 entries in the tournament.

    • You can nominate up to four movies at a time, but please do not post twice in a row. This will give more people a chance to participate in the nomination process.

    • If you have any other questions, feel free to PM me or one of the other forum mods.





    I thought there'd be more rules then that but I guess not. They're not too hard to remember.

    And the nominations have begun.

    128 Movies
    8 Brackets with 16 movies each
    One side of the bracket field is Science Fiction. The other side of the bracket field is Fantasy. At the end of the tournament, there will be a face-off between the best movie from each bracket field. From that, we'll be able to tell what is the best Sci-Fi/Fantasy Movie of all-time.

    And I have to concur with the whole "No Star Wars" thing. Otherwise it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that either ESB, RotS or ANH will win this thing

    Don't worry. We're just nominating now. They will be split and placed in their appropriate brackets come tournament time.

    Its just seems to be one of those unwritten rules when these kind of things come up here or in census.

    I mean we've got 300 other boards to cover SW stuff and forums like this are usually seen as a place to take a break from the SW stuff.

    Plus being that it is a SW forum I'd guess that your win, place, and show would be a bit predictable in the end :p

    Fair enough. When I thought of Star Wars, the first thing that popped in my head was that it is Sci-Fi. So I thought it was okay. The only reason we don't talk about it here is because we have specific boards set up for that elsewhere. But, I guess it can be excluded from the tournament.
