       This week, the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament will tip off.  To celebrate the occasion, I have decided to create my own tournament to decide the best movie from what I consider to be Hallmark's best film series-"Signed, Sealed, Delivered." Starting tomorrow, fans will be able to go onto my Twitter/X account (x.com/wesths05) and vote on which movies will advance in my tournament.      Since there are fourteen different movies as of right now, here is how the tournament will work.

Films 5-10 ("The Impossible Dream", "Home Again", "From The Heart", "Truth Be Told", "From Paris With Love" and "Signed, Sealed, Delivered") will receive a bye to the second round. The four lowest ranked films ("The Roa...
