Our March Mad Movie Madness tournament marches on with the final part of the round of 256. Things should get a little cleaner and easier to manage from here on out.

You can see the results and progress of the tournament here: https://challonge.com/tsut4018 (note that this link is just for viewing results. You must vote using the forms below.)

Today’s spotlighted matches: cult movie run-off Carnival of Souls vs. Wild at Heart; The Trial  vs. Werckmeister Harmonies (we honestly have no idea who will win between these two black and white classics); and (so sorry!) a Peter Jackson death match, as Heavenly Creatures  goes head-to-head vs. Meet the Feebles. We told you these were going to be tough, and the choices will only get harder as the tournament progresses.

Part 1 of the round of 256 is complete: results here.

Part 2 (voting ends Mar 13).

Part 3 (voting ends Mar 14).

Part 4 (voting ends Mar 15).

We’ll start the round of 128 on March 17.

Our March Mad Movie Madness tournament marches on with part 4 of the round of 256.

Due to a mistake on our part (counting is hard), we did not reveal a full slate of 32 matches yesterday. To make up for that deficiency we’ll be featuring 24 contests today, and offer a fifth round of 24 tomorrow.

Today’s spotlighted matches: Bubby vs. Baby (an intriguing contest between an ancient cult film and a young-ish upstart), Eraserhead vs. Evil Dead II  (a very tough matchup for the first round), and Head vs. Vertigo (a quintessential quality vs. weirdness dilemma).

Here’s part 1 of the staggered tournament (voting ends today, Mar 12, at midnight).

Part 2 (voting ends Mar 13).

Part 3 (voting ends Mar 14).

Part 5 of this round begins tomorrow and ends on 3/16.

You may vote once every 24 hours.

Our March Mad Movie Madness tournament marches on with part 3 of the round of 256. To us, this set of match-ups don’t look quite as formidable as some from the previous rounds. We’ll be interested in the results of last year’s Sorry to Bother You vs. play-in round favorite Videodrome.

Here’s part 1 of the staggered tournament (voting ends Mar 12).

Part 2 (voting ends Mar 13).

Part 4 of this round begins tomorrow and ends on 3/15.

Our March Mad Movie Madness tournament marches on with part 2 of the round of 256. Our semi-random, editorial-free method of seeding the tournament produced at least one bizarre matchup: Sono vs. Sono, as the Japanese master’s Love Exposure faces off against his own Why Don’t You Play in Hell?.  Such is the cutthroat nature of the tournament.

Here’s part 1 of the staggered tournament (voting ends Mar 12).

Part 3 of the round of 256 begins tomorrow and ends Mar. 14. Part 4 will begin on 3/12 and end on 3/16.
