Some of these early rounds are very weak.

In comparison to the last two rounds this one just isn't holding up.

I chose the Rabbit though.

I always wanted one of those holes that you could put on the ground and just throw stuff into. I would hide my wife under my desk at work.

Had to choose Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Heh, Bob Hoskins almost says "balls"plus it's got Christopher Lloyd and great animated characters.

The last poll had only three movies that got votes. This has 3 in the first hour or so. I am not reading it right or what. I can imagine lost Boys will get "adleast" some support.

I love rabbit as much as the next guy, but I can't believe the Lost Boys isn't getting more love. Sure, its been overhyped for the last 10 years, but its still an all-time classic. Maggots, Michael, you're eating maggots.

Maybe without the pictures people don't recognize the movie name. Burbs was originally not on the list, and then I was thinking of some of the great movies I remember watching and was like..."Wait a minute. Was'nt Burbs made in the 80's?"

Thus it was added. Much like My Best Friend is a Vampire, which has yet to appear.

This is another strong grouping.

I voted for Empire back in the other thread and figure that if it came down to Jedi and Empire I would go with V over VI.

So I chose my favorite movie out of the bunch that wasn't a Star Wars film. Rambo.

There are a few parts of the movie that really stand out to me
* where you see him in the mud just as he is about to kill the soldier in front of him
* when he kills the chicken for blood and then fakes out the soldiers only to light them on fire
* when he hits Ericson as he gets off the chopper.

It was no contest in my mind. Back to the future had it... and then Spaceballs was at the bottom of the list.

Last night I watched Star Wars Episode IV. I just had to vote Space Balls today.

How could you? Spaceballs is one of the funniest movies ever. But Back to the Future is one of the best movies ever.

Anyways, I voted for it. Its my second favorite movie of all time behind Real Men.

On any given day, if I had the choice to watch one or the other, I would choose Space Balls.

I'm not sure why, but it is what it is. I loved Back to the Future, but not as much as the Schwartz.

I love Spaceballs and BttF, but I feel that BttF has had a much bigger impact on pop culture, as well as on myself, than Spaceballs, so I have to go with that.


RIP Hacker.

I had to go "Aliens."

This was when James Cameron was on fire, and made nothing but awesomeness.
