Just letting you know I can't vote in this game because I've only seen Carrie and Mission Impossible aaaages ago and can barely remember them.

OK. Thanks for the heads up. You NEED to see more DePalma. That's your mission should you choose to accept it.

I've seen literally 3 of the films, so unless 2 of them come up against each other, I'll have to pass as well.

Oh yeah I also saw Mission to Mars at the cinema. I've been intending to watch Blow Out for a while, that'll be the next one I watch.

Just for future ref if regular voters aren't planing to vote could you please post to let me know (as Pod and Degen have done). That way we know not to wait. Thx. Have to say I thought I'd get a lot of votes on this one given DePalma's back catalogue. Shows what I know...

Not seen enough of his films to vote. Not a fan though...scarface is great trashy fun but you have to like dumb gangster films to fully appreciate it I feel!!

Conversely Carlito's Way is a serious gangster film.

Will wait a little while to see if Keung wants to vote... if not it's onto the Quarter Finals.
Can't believe you guys are leaving this in the hands of Sam, Brad and myself...

2. Blow Out vs
Scarface: How ever goo Blow Out is, it's not gonna be as good as Scarface.
3. The Untouchables vs
Carlito's Way: Easy choice
4.
Mission: Impossible vs Femme Fatale
I think I'm the only one voting even though I may have only seen one of the two films

This is going to be the first of the three World Cups we've done where I don't agree with the winner.
That's democracy for you...
