Have at it boys!

We can leave this round open for, say, two weeks to allow anyone to catch up on a few on the candidates. The following rounds will go considerably quicker though.

Sorry for the inconvenience, can I swap End of Evangelion for House? The former is basically a follow up to a 26 episode series and its not really fair for those who haven't seen it
Also I doubt I've even seen half of these films... Which makes 32 films to watch. Can't you extend it a little more than two weeks? Like, six weeks or something would be nice x3 I do want to get round to everything on here and this is one of the first tourneys I've felt compelled to follow _________________

Eh, why not?

How about we compromise and say four weeks, with the chance of a further two week extension if enough people agree?

I didn't, the randomizer did. Trust me, on some of these I'm just as unhappy as you (putting two of my own nominations against one another? A Pigeon vs. Wadjda?? Arrrgghhh...)
Also Solaris vs. Persona; Rules of the Game vs. Woman in the Dunes; Wild Tales vs. Ugetsu; Seven Samurai vs. Gojira; The Sacrifice vs. La Jetee; and Life is Beautiful vs. The Return. As far as I'm concerned, that nearly could've been the final rounds.
