SCROLL DOWN TO "WHAT TO DO NOW"
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?
What happens now is that I must deduce what movies have been seen by the general populace, before I move on. So here's what you're all going do, I've compiled a list that is 70% made up of movies chosen by SHH! the other 30% I filled in myself with a variety movies from various places, that I felt should be in there since the point is to greaten awareness. So your just going go through the list of nomininations and indicate which you've seen and haven't seen... This will go on till Tuesday night.
I NEED HELPERS FOR THE NEXT PART OF THIS, because I'm going have a lot of data to sift through... This is being done so we don't get something lame where just popular movies win
Rules
REMINDER: NO SUPERHERO FILMS OR FILMS MADE IN THE PAST 20 YEARS, YOU GET ONE NOMINATION
FOREIGN FILMS ARE ACCEPTABLE AND GREATLY APPRECIATED

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!
