Results: Round 2

Well, we've had some great participation through the first two rounds of voting. You've helped us to narrow our list from 100 down to 32. Hopefully, you will keep on voting and get other friends and family to vote as well, because it's only going to get harder from here. We're stepping out of the realm of clear and easy choices. Just about every single one of the 16 pairings that we have left will be one great quote versus another. So the more people vote, the easier it will be to distinguish the true winner. Tell your friends!

It was an impressive turnaround for Good Will Hunting in the second round. In the first, it barely advanced past #21 seed Cool Hand Luke by getting the tie-breaking vote from one of our committee members. It was another tight race, but no tiebreaker was necessary against #5 seed The Shining, as "How do you like them apples?" won by exactly one vote.

When we first seeded the brackets, we had #8 seed Field of Dreams in the #11 slot. (If we'd left it there, it would have faced Casablanca in the second round. Interesting.) Even though it's only faced a #25 and #9 seed, Field of Dreams has been dominant through the first two rounds, garnering almost 85% of all votes.

On the first day of voting, #12 The Matrix was destroying #5 Mr. No, and we were thinking we had severely underestimated the quote power of 'Spoon Boy' (superhero movie, anyone?). The fact that it didn't even end up being close reassures us that there are some sensible people in the world.

Jerry Maguire was the surprise of the first round, advancing 3 for 3 out the 'Hybrid' region. But it disappeared in the second round, going 0 for 3 against the likes of The Wizard of Oz, The Three Musketeers, and The Princess Bride.

Round 3 coming soon!
