THE REGIONS
SELECTING MOVIES
SEEDING MOVIES
- Michael Corleone Region: Michael Corleone region will include 16 movies that would be considered dramas (such as Casablanca, Forrest Gump), epics (Gone with the Wind, Gladiator), war movies (Apocalypse Now, Saving Private Ryan), or crime movies (The Godfather, Goodfellas).
- The Dude Region: The Dude region will include 16 movies that would be considered comedies (Blazing Saddles, Anchorman), animated movies (Aladdin, Up), or musicals (The Wizard of Oz, La La Land).
- John McClane Region: John McClane region will include 16 movies that would be considered action movies (Die Hard, The Dark Knight), adventure movies (Raiders of the Lost Ark, Pirates of the Caribbean), or westerns (True Grit, Unforgiven).
- Han Solo Region: Han Solo region will include 16 movies that would be considered science fiction movies (Star Wars, The Matrix), fantasy movies (The Princess Bride, The Fellowship of the Ring), and horror movies (Psycho, Get Out).
SELECTING MOVIES
- There will be a thread to nominate movies for each region. There will be a 48 hour period to nominate movies in that given category.
- The 16 movies that receive the most nominations will be chosen to participate as the representatives for that region.
- In the event of a tie in the nomination process, the movies that advance will do so following the seeding procedures I'm listing in the next section.
- When nominating movies that are part of a series or franchise, you must nominate every movie in that franchise that you believe deserves consideration. So don’t nominate “James Bond,” if you are only voting for “Goldfinger.” Franchise titles won’t be counted, only specific movies.
SEEDING MOVIES
- The first determining factor for seeds will be based on the popular vote during the nomination process.
- If two or more movies are tied in votes, we will proceed to a tie breaking formula which weighs the movies based on Oscar awards/nominations, IMDB rating, and Rotten Tomatoes score.
- If they were to still be tied after that, there would be a coin flip to determine the one that advances.
- There will be a thread for each region round by round. There will be a 48 hour period in which you vote for all the matchups in that region for that round. The winners will advance, the losers are eliminated. We will proceed in this matter until one movie is ultimately declared the champion of the inaugural OOTB Movie Tournament.
Preface: In my opinion the following trilogies should be considered as single works, but based on your series/franchise rules above, I'm listing them separately.
The Fellowship of the Ring
The Two Towers
The Return of the King
Star Wars: A New Hope
The Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi
The Matrix
Dark City
Back to the Future
The Fellowship of the Ring
The Two Towers
The Return of the King

I get what you’re saying about the franchises but I just thought it was the most fair way to go about it because judging 3 movies (or more) vs 1 didn’t seem right.
I’m not sure those other ones fit this region, might need to go in the Michael Corleone one
The Princess Bride
I listed this in the Dude Region since I think of it as a comedy, but I just noticed you had it listed as an example for this region, as a fantasy. I'll let you decide where it belongs, but it certainly should make the tourney.

It is certainly a cross-over movie, I listed it here more because I was trying to fill out region options. I'll allow it to be nominated in both, but I wouldn't include it in the tournament more than once if it received enough votes in both regions.

@heelz2345 , if we come up with additional ideas do you prefer a new poast or just an edit to our original poast?
New poast, because it's easier for me to remember what the last poast I tallied was, so if I see poasts below that, I know there is new info. If it's edited in a poast, I'll be more likely miss it. I appreciate you asking though.
