The United States of Springfield: Simpsons Characters Take Over the U.S. Government

We're taking the results of the "Best Movies of the 1980s" draft and making our choices face off in a bracket showdown. Which movie will come out on top? We'll see...

The 1980s gave us time-traveling DeLoreans, whip-cracking archaeologists, karate tournaments, killer robots, ghost hunters, talking mogwais, and at least three movies you swear are masterpieces because you first saw them on VHS at age 11. Draft the best movies of the 1980s. Pick the films that defined the decade, shaped pop culture, or simply remain endlessly rewatchable. Comedy, action, sci-fi, drama, horror, animation, cult classics, and Oscar winners are all fair game. One rule: don't draft a movie that's already been selected (this is a type-in draft vs. picking from a set board). Nobody wants to spend their pick triumphantly announcing *Back to the Future* only to discover someone chose it three rounds ago.

America’s National Parks are cathedrals of geology, history, wilderness, and scale that define the country’s natural identity. In this draft, choose the parks that inspire awe, adventure, and obsession, from towering mountains and ancient forests to deserts, glaciers, and volcanic worlds that feel almost impossible to believe are real.
