Results: Drama/Horror/Suspense Region

We were waiting to move on until we had at least 20 votes, and we've almost doubled that amount. Voting is still open for the other three regions, which can be done here. Be sure to invite other people to take part as well. The sooner we get people to vote, the faster we can get the necessary votes to move on to the next round. Here are the results from the first round in the Drama, Horror and Suspense region. It's truly amazing how close most of these votes actually were.

#8 v #25 - #8 "If you build it, he will come." - 100% of votes
Just about every single other match-up was at least interesting. But Wall Street's #25 seed was an absolute joke against 'The Voice' in Field of Dreams.

#9 v #24 - #9 "Nobody puts Baby in a corner." - 52% of votes
These two quotes went back of forth all throughout the voting process, but Dirty Dancing pulled things out at the last minute to move on.

#10 v #23 - #23 "Look, Daddy. Teacher says, every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings." - 64% of votes
I'm not sure whether we overrated Dead Poets Society or underrated It's a Wonderful Life, but I'm inclined to think it was the latter.

#11 v #22 - #11 "A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti." - 52% of votes
Casablanca was actually running away with this one. It didn't seem like it was going to be close. But Hannibal Lecter and Silence of the Lambs ran a virtual sweep all day today to make a remarkable comeback.

#12 v #21 - #12 "How do you like them apples?" - 52% of votes

This pairing was in a dead heat from start to finish. In fact, we ultimately had to bring someone in from the committee to make a tie-breaking vote. In the end, Good Will Hunting remained as the victor.

#13 v #20 - #13 "I'm the king of the world!" - 60% of votes
Though not the biggest Titanic fan, I have to confess that even I was aware of this quote before I ever saw this movie. It is unquestionably recognizable.

#14 v #19 - #19 "Get busy living, or get busy dying." - 52% of votes
There were some within our camp that felt Rocky was ranked too low on this bracket, but it appears that we were right to leave it at #14, because it couldn't get past The Shawshank Redemption in the very first round.

#15 v #18 - #15 "...keep your friends close, but your enemies closer." - 68% of votes
Everybody knows better than to mess with The Godfather.

#16 v #17 - #17 "You're gonna need a bigger boat." - 52% of votes
Ironically, Taxi Driver maintained a small lead over Jaws the entire time, but the epic shark tale mounted an impressive comeback in the eleventh hour.
