You can view the entire tournament bracket here as we go along, but here's the Southern division:

Please vote for the franchise in each pair that you feel is most deserving of being in consideration for the Greatest Movie Franchise of All Time. I'll put one of these up every day or two as we go along. So vote!

Possible Concerns and Responses:

1. A franchise I like isn't on the list! Too bad. Nominations are closed. This is just a fun offseason diversion, but feel free to complain in the thread if it will make you feel better.
2. There's something on the list that I don't even think is a franchise! Don't vote for it.
3. There's something on the list that I don't recognize. Yeah, there are a few that I don't recognize either. If you feel generous, look it up and determine if you think it's worthy. Or just don't vote for it. Either option is allowed.
4. The seeding seems weird (or there's something I have no idea how it got in there). The seeding is based on total estimated tickets from Box Office Mojo, but some older franchises were randomly seeded since we don't have any data available about their ticket sales. Again, if you don't feel something is deserving, don't vote for it!

Weakest bracket of the tourney by far outside of Star Wars...

Yeah, I can't disagree. That said, I'm excited to see how the matchup between Mission: Impossible and Austin Powers goes. It's almost parody vs. original (though AP is probably closer to Bond than MI).

Hannibal Lecter will pull the upset here I think

SOUTHERN FRIED FRIDAY

The trouble with some of these, is if you are voting on the whole series, then some of the later films are really killing their early films. Transformers is a great example of this. Had they stopped at 3, it would have a shot. The last few films were absolute garbage IMHO, thus devaluing the entire series.

Weak ass bracket.

That being said, I love the Naked Gun series. Hilarious stuff.

Tough draw for Kill Bill.

Let this be a lesson to them.

We'll see how it goes once we get closer to the end, but I personally wonder if Star Wars is going to have that happen to them. It's clearly a strong contender to win it all, and I think it would have if they'd stopped after three. After the prequels, though...

Agreed and this region has IMO the strongest contender to win so it can't be 100% dismissed.

Silence of the Lambs was an overacted piece of ... work. I'll be kind and call it work.

Whatever. Anytime Jodie Foster gets yak on her face on screen, it should win an Oscar.

Silence of the Lambs is great... give it a rest.

This region is god awful.

C'mon 15 seed (naked gun)!
