Drama
(1) The Shawshank Redemption
(11) A Few Good Men
Winner: A Few Good Men
The last #1 seed has fallen. It wasn't without a fight, though. As you'll see at the end when I rank all of the movies top to bottom, these two movies are neck and neck. This was a triple overtime 3-pointer-at-the-buzzer kind of win.
"You got Dramamine?"
"Dramamine keeps you cool?"
"No, Dramamine keeps you from throwing up, you get sick when you fly."
"I get sick when I fly because I'm afraid of crashing into a large mountain. I don't think Dramamine will help."
Family
(9) Rudy
(6) Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Winner: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
I hate to say this, because I really do love Rudy, but the fact that it made the Elite Eight was really a testament to the weak nature of its side of the division. Willy Wonka gets funnier every time I watch it... and that's more often than I'd care to admit.
"I saw this in a movie once. Guy signed his wife's insurance policy. Then he bumped her off."
"Clever."
Comedy
(4) The Princess Bride
(10) A League of Their Own
Winner: The Princess Bride
And this is where my wife's favorite movie ends its great run. Sorry. The Princess Bride doesn't really have a lot of competition anyway, so no need to fret.
"Which way's my way?"
"Pick up one of those rocks, get behind the boulder. In a few minutes the Man in Black will come running around the bend. The minute his head is in view, HIT IT WITH THE ROCK!"
"My way's not very sportsmanlike."
Action
(9) Man on Fire
(6) The Boondock Saints
Winner: Man on Fire
It's not just the revenge the Creasey carries out that makes me like this movie, but that's part of it. Even though outside of the movies I'm not a fan of vengeance.
"Creasey's art is death. And he's about to paint his masterpiece."
So here you go. Our Final Four matchups are set. Looks like some pretty strong competitors if you ask me!
A Few Good Men
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
The Princess Bride
Man on Fire
Stay tuned to see who comes out on top.
