The movies competing are those rated as the top 64 of all time on the IMDB database as of 3 January 2013:

imdb.com/chart/top

The top 64 have been randomly drawn in to match offs.

Each match off is the first to 5 votes. The winner will proceed in to the next round, where a random draw will again take place.

If voting has not produced a winner within 48 hours of the matchup being posted, then the movie with the highest score at that point will go through. If the scores are tied, the movie which is highest on the IMDB database will go through.

You can vote on any criteria you like, and you do not need to have seen the movie. If that criteria is favourite actor, director, genre, plot, cinematography, which poster you prefer, whatever, it is entirely up to you. More interesting for everyone if you give a brief outline of your rationale, but just a vote will be fine.

Please make sure that it is clear in your post which movie you are voting for.

I like that movie where the guy and girl like each other except they don't know it, except they do know it. They do all kinds of stuff and fight with each other. There's always a food fight involved. They are both better looking than anyone I have ever met and are somehow better looking than the actors who play them (how do you airbrush film?). There is a pivotal scene in which the guy and girl finally realize what they've known all along and they express there love for one another. The guy's sidekick who is chubby and bald says something funny and endearing. Fade to black. Credits. Outtakes/bloopers. Godzilla.

The movie poster shows the guy and girl back to back looking over their shoulders at each other with a "you're a real rascal" look on their face.

The most recent incarnation is Friends With Benefits. I really like seeing Mila Kunis in her underwear... :-)

There is also a farting dog or adorable, precocious, and possibly possessed yet endearing child/niece/nephew in the mix.
