The What?
SHH! Classic Movies Tournament is a tournament which will hopefully by the end discover what SHH! considers the best classic movie as well as it’s top ten.
The Why?
The point of this is to give SHH! users insight into movies they might not of had before as well as to increase awareness of older movies.
The How?
Quite frankly the rules aren’t completely mapped out yet, this is the prototype really. All that is known now is that the movies will be broken up into brackets, people will be charged with debating which movies are better, and then it’ll be put to a vote.
What to do now?
This thread is for nominations, everyone is allowed to nominate one movie. Once all the nominations are counted Sunday Afternoon, a second thread will be made to weedle it down to the actual candidates for the tournament. So basically you should nominate movies that haven’t already been picked.
Rules
REMINDER: NO SUPERHERO FILMS OR FILMS MADE IN THE PAST 20 YEARS, YOU GET ONE NOMINATION
FOREIGN FILMS ARE ACCEPTABLE AND GREATLY APPRECIATED
Movies Nominated Thus Far (Any Changes to your Nom, PM ME!

Rules
- You may not nominate any super-hero films since I will be having a tournament specifically dedicated to those films
- You may not nominate any movie that has been made in the last 20 years, so anything after 1986 is a no-no, why? Because these are not classics, most of you guys will nominate movies in the past 20 years and I'm going to have a separate tournament for these movies as well!
