OK - tell you what everyone - if we're going to make it work, I can only take a limited number of entries. So....

I'll only take the first 2 films from each boarder - assuming those films have not been named already.

If you've made, say, 8 suggestions, and you really want numbers 6 and 8 to be entered, then you can go back and edit your earlier posts here to put those 2 films first (and take out the other suggestions). I think that's the only way I can get it all in.

I think we're better doing the "top 4 from 4 groups" rather than 2 from 8, as this way we seem to be getting better final 16s (if that makes any sense). So let's try to keep it to 28 (groups of 7) or 32 (groups of 8) as a maximum.

Alpha Papa

Carry on screaming

Paul

The World according to Garp
The Jerk
The Holy Grail

Meet the Parents

Airplane
Life of Brian

In and Out

Groundhog Day

Groundhog Day

Attention all boarders.

StillSpike has revealed himself for the fascist he truly is. It is now down to us to hack his authoritarian control of the movie edition of Bandoff. This is our moment to cease control.

I have edited my first post in this thread to just include two film titles. Listed below are all of the others films I had mentioned in my subsequent posts. Therefore you can each grab a couple of these and post them if you want them to be included.

Feel free to use any of the following if they have not already been posted, and you want to fight StillSpike from censoring your favourite comedies:

Stripes
Trading Places
Airplane
Shaun of the Dead
There's Something About Mary
American Pie
Return of the Pink Panther
A Fish Called Wanda
Blazzing Saddles
Dirty, Rotten Scoundrels
Back to the Future
Ghostbusters
Wolf of Wall Street (well, I found it funny)
The Big Lebowski
Borat
Southpark movie
Simpsons movie
Police Academy
Dragnet

The people have been heard. Now let this be a lesson for dictators all around the globe.

Last time the people were heard, there were so many entrants that Digestives got knocked out in the Group Stage of Bandoff Biscuit Edition. Bandoff works, democracy does not.

Interesting that this genre has become so heated and full of controversies before the competition has even begun. This may be the most brutal one yet.
