Dr. J and the Gang advance to the Elite 8. Spielberg is on the verge of back to back Final Four appearances.
Next battle up shortly.

Battle of the Decades The Sweet 16
The Freewheelin' Fifties
Team Coop and Dracula
The 1950's as described by Wikipedia: The 1950's was a decade of the Gregorian calendar that began on January 1, 1950, and ended on December 31, 1959. By its end, the world had largely recovered from World War II and the Cold War developed from its modest beginning in the late-1940's to a hot competition between the United States and the Soviet Union by the early-1960's.
Clashes between communism and capitalism dominated the decade, especially in the Northern Hemisphere. The conflicts included the Korean War in the beginnings of the decade and the beginning of the Space Race with the launch of Sputnik 1. Along with increased testing of nuclear weapons (such as RDS-37 and Upshot–Knothole), this created a politically conservative climate. In the United States, the Second Red Scare caused Congressional hearings by both houses in Congress and anti-communism was the prevailing sentiment in the United States throughout the decade. The beginning of decolonization in Africa and Asia took place in this decade and accelerated in the following decade. Seven Samurai Selected by: Cooper and Dracula Released: 1954 Directed By: Akira Kurosawa Who Directed: 9 Films in the 1950's
A Decade in Music:Thoughts from the Team: It's a brilliant mix of John Ford western with a Japanese setting which works like gangbusters as an adventure movie but which takes its time and really delves into the social context of its premise and the conflicts between the samurai and the villagers. It's long been a sort of "gateway drug" for people to get into classic world cinema and a hard movie to dislike. - DraculaVisual Enhancements:
What Happened... in the 1950's:On September 12, 1953, Jacqueline Bouvier weds then-Senator John Fitzgerald Kennedy in Newport, Rhode Island. Their reception at Hammersmith Farm would host more than 1,200 guests. Versus
The Seventh SealSelected by: Cooper and Dracula Released:1957 Directed By: Ingmar Bergman Who Directed: 16 Films in the 1950's
A Decade in Music: Thoughts from the Team:Bergman tackles the one truly universal human experience and has offered the best cinematic portrayal of facing death. The film is blunt in execution, but this is the kind of subject matter that really deserves honest and open discussion. Much as the Antonius's final chess scene with death haunts me to my core, there is a strange sense of hope that we can make our time meaningful no matter how limited it may be, and no matter what exists on the other side. - PG Cooper Visual Enhancements: What Happened... in the 1950's: On October 2, 1957, the first Peanuts comic strip debuts. However, the Charlie Brown we know and love (along with his friends) look a little different initially. They have more of a cute, toddler-like appearance until around 1957. My Vote: The Seventh Seal
