You should be happy. We all put our differences aside and agreed on our disdain for Equilibrium.

Among the clutter of posts, I was able to get a tally of actual votes, and it looks like Empire squeaks out the win, advancing to the Elite 8 and thus ending my favorite round.
We are now in the Elite 8 folks, and as it turns out, there is 1 film from each respective franchise left. Pretty cool!
But also, James Bond has been canceled for not being woke, and The Matrix is being removed due to cheating. So I guess we only have 6 flicks left..

Battle of the Franchise Films
The Elite 8
Region 3 FinalsBond V. Dinosaur From Russia With Love
Released: 1963From: The James Bond FranchiseDirected By: Terence YoungTrailer Time:
8 Movies, 8 Scenes:
Franchise Facts:Several years earlier, Sir Alfred Hitchcock had been considered to direct, with James Bond being played by Cary Grant, and Grace Kelly lured out of retirement to play Tatiana Romanova. These ideas were scrapped after Vertigo (1958) failed at the box office. The helicopter chase scene is an homage to Hitchcock's cropduster sequence in North by Northwest (1959). Hot off the Press:It has more in common spiritually with Le Carre than Fleming. Only after James Bond's vulnerabilities have been further exploited than in "Dr. No" does he succeed. "Russia" is about as far as it gets from the biggest Bond, but it's easily the best. - Nick Rogers, The Film Yap VersusJurassic Park Released: 1993 From: The Jurassic Park Franchise Directed By: Steven Spielberg
Trailer Time:
8 Movies, 8 Scenes:
Franchise Facts: In this movie, Steven Spielberg directs the man who beat him to the Best Director Oscar in 1983 (Sir Richard Attenborough, whose movie Gandhi (1982) also beat Spielberg's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) as Best Picture).
Hot off the Press: Spielberg has gone on to weightier and more prestigious projects, but this thrill ride is one of his best and a masterpiece of the genre. -Nell Minow, Chicago Sun Times
My Vote: From Russia With Love

Movie was remade starring Daisy Ridley who was in Star Wars: The Last Jedi with Laura Dern who was in Jurassic Park, making this a vote for Jurassic Park. I'm catching on to Dracula's game.

I have nothing but respect for From Russia with Love, but if I'm given the choice between any Bond movie and Jurassic Park, it's going to be Jurassic Park every time.

Bond's kryptonite appears to be Jurassic Park as the Dinosaurs take down two of the more prolific entries in consecutive matches. They are the first in the Final 4! Exciting shit.
Next battle up shortly.

Battle of the Franchise Films
The Elite 8 Region 4 Finals
Magneto V. IndianaStar Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
Released: 1980From: The Star Wars SagaDirected By: Irvin KershnerTrailer Time:
8 Movies, 8 Scenes:
Franchise Facts: When shooting on-location in Finse, Norway, a fierce snowstorm hit the hotel where the cast and crew were staying. This would have normally halted filming, but director Irvin Kershner thought these weather conditions were an excellent opportunity to film the scene where Luke wanders through the snow after escaping the Wampa cave. He did this by sending Mark Hamill outside into the cold, while he and the cameraman stayed and filmed inside the hotel's front hall.
Hot off the Press: In the glory days of science fiction, critics wrote about the 'sense of wonder.' That's what The Empire Strikes Back creates in us. -Susan Stark, Detroit NewsVersusThe Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Released: 2001 From: The Lord of the Rings Franchise Directed By: Peter Jackson Trailer Time:
8 Movies, 8 Scenes:
Franchise Facts: During filming, most of the members of the Fellowship took up surfing in New Zealand in their spare time. Amongst them was Viggo Mortensen, who wiped out terribly one day and bruised one whole side of his face. The next day, make-up artists tried to mask the bruising and swelling, but were unsuccessful. Instead, Peter Jackson opted to film Mortensen from one side for the entire scene. In the Mines of Moria, when they find the tomb, Aragorn is only seen from one side in the whole scene. Hot off the Press:Against all odds in an era of machine-made spectaculars, Mr. Jackson and his collaborators have created a film epic that lives and breathes, that's swept by almost palpable weather (much of it stormy). -Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal My Vote: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

Wow, this is so tough.
I'm surprised at myself for this, but I'm gonna go with The Empire Strikes Back.
