versus 
Additional info here (and cast your vote). Tough call. The film on the left shares the record (with Titanic) for most Oscar nominations (14), and it gave us one of the more memorable cinematic quotes: "Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night!" The film on the right is one of only three films to win Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Screenplay. And Hannibal Lecter is one of the more unforgettable villians in film. Given the release dates of the two films, though, I anticipate an easy win for The Silence of the Lambs.
Yesterday's result? Casablanca (83%) defeats Platoon (17%). Next up for Casablanca? The winner of today's match. I'm anticipating that Casablanca will make it to the "final four," with a trip to the championship game riding on its ability to defeat the winner of the Gone With the Wind / Lord of the Rings (Return of the King) match-up.
All about Eve presents us with a verity of the life that surrounds us. Silence of the Lambs presents a rarity. All about Eve need not be confined to the Hollywood world. If you think about it, we see bits and pieces of it in academe and the world of commerce as well as sports teams.
"All About Eve" was on the short list for "Advocacy to Zealousness." It's an extraordinary film, and completely driven by dialogue, which is impressive, and, in my opinion, makes it superior to its competitor in this round.
