I figure this would be the best time to run a contest like this that doesn't saturate UotY. It's been awhile since a movie contest has been held. I don't remember how the games version did this year or if someone wanted this to replace that next year and go along with UotY. I think it would be fun, is there interest? Would others be willing to run it with me?
Okay so it looks like round one is 22 groups. And usually it's the top 22 users from the previous year that get their own division. Since this will be the first, I made a quick list of what I believe are the strongest 22 movies on the board based on popularity and how they performed in the Rate the Movie topic series. Thoughts?
1. Toy Story 3 2. Schindler's List 3. Pulp Fiction 4. Requiem For a Dream 5. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly 6. LotR: Fellowship 7. LotR: Two Towers 8. LotR: Return 9. Toy Story 10. The Shawshank Redemption 11. Seven Samurai 12. Citizen Kane 13. The Lion King 14. The Dark Knight 15. Fight Club 16. Back to the Future 17. Forrest Gump 18. Spirited Away 19. Inception 20. The Godfather 21. Star Wars Ep 4 22. Star Wars Ep 5

I'm just worried people will neglect certain movies because they think they're guaranteed in. But perhaps if I made the number of nominations some huge number it would eliminate that thought. I was still planning on doing nominations and hoped that guaranteeing these strong movies that it would make for a nice tournament
