Gunfights tournament
I brought this up in November, but it's nearly tournament time. In short, I'm thinking about putting together Best Gunfights Tournament Bracket in time for March Madness. Thirty-two gunfights in four "regions." Looking at the Grantland FB page, there does appear to be a way to do polls, so we'd need close integration with the FB page and the blog.
Criteria: best gunfights on film, only one gunfight per film. Regions: Michael Mann/John Woo, Westerns, War, Everything else. Nominations: Michael Mann/John Woo region: - Heat, bank heist - Public Enemies, Little Bohemia shootout - Collateral, club shootout - Miami Vice, final shootout - The Killer, final shootout - Hard Boiled, hospital shootout - Face/Off, apartment shootout - One more Westerns regions: - Tombstone, Gunfight at the OK Corral - Unforgiven, final shootout - The Outlaw Josie Wales, final shootout - The Wild Bunch, final shootout - Four more War region: (This is a diffcult region for me.) - Saving Private Ryan, Omaha Beach - (Does the Ride of the Valkyries scene in Apocalypse Now count as a gunfight?) - More entries Everything Else regions: (this is going to be very contested. Maybe this should be merged with the war region.) - Way of the Gun, ending - The Matrix, rescue of Morpheus - Predator, camp assault - Commando, the end of the film (Arnold might have his own region as well.) Or, I suppose we can just throw everything in one heap, seed them, and distribute them amongst four equal regions. The trouble with that is, as I pointed out earlier, that we can just have an all Michael Mann Final Four. Ideas? Nominations?
