I tried to stay within the guidelines, but I may have fudge a bit here and there -- obviously the Extra Credit ones don't count that way!

Round 6-1

1. The Mask of Zorro (1998) - I personally liked this movie alot; I liked both, but I liked this one more, probably because of it being more in my generation.

2. Three Musketeers (1993) - Guilty pleasure, I was young... I still know all the words to the song...

3. Excalibur (1981) - I love both movies, but there is no comparison to Excalibur.

4. Abstain - I haven't seen Camelot... and I can't vote for First Knight...

5. Indiana Jones & the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) - Last Crusade was good... but this was better.

6. Abstain - I hate Phantom in all its incarnations. I hate it with a passion that rivals the heat of the stars of a thousand galaxies.

7. High Plains Drifter (1973) - Pale Rider has a too much a family feel for me. Whipping people to death in a fiery mess ROCKS.

8. Abstain - Have not seen either.

9. Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) - I love both movies, but because I've the urge to watch RHPS more than LSOH more often, I'll say Rocky...

10. Abstain - I've heard of both, but never seen either. Isn't Manos in the running for the worst movie of all time? At least at IMDB it is the worst movie...

Yeah, both of them have been billed The Worst of the Worst at one point or another -- thus the head-to-head matchup

 

[Tanager]

1. The Mask of Zorro, but only by a hair

2. Three Musketeers (Richard Lester version 1973)
3. Monty Python & the Holy Grail (1975) vs. Excalibur (1981) a tough one, but I think I have to go with Monty Python.

4. Abstention, haven't seen either

5. Indiana Jones & the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) , hands down, no contest.

6. Phantom of the Opera (Lon Chaney version 1924) vs. Phantom of the Opera (Andrew Lloyd Webber version 2004), Okay I guess this one's an abstention, I haven't seen the 2004 version, although I'm pretty sure I'd go with Lon Chaney anyhow.

7. Pale Rider (1985), loved this one

8. Hellboy (2004) vs. The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension (1984), hmm making this tough aren't you, I loved both of these, but I'll nod towards Hellboy due to budget and higher production values

9. Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), no contest

10. Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959)

EXTRA CREDIT!

11. Heathers (1989) vs. Repo Man (1984) , man you enjoy making my life difficult? Nod has to go to Heathers though, "Heather why are you such a B ch" "Because I can be".

12. Highway 61 (1991) , can't pass up 'Howling at the Moon' by the Ramones

6-4

1. The Mask of Zorro (1998) vs. The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)

2. Three Musketeers (Richard Lester version 1973) vs. Three Musketeers (Disney version 1993)

3. Monty Python & the Holy Grail (1975) vs. Excalibur (1981) - Not really comparable - one is a comedy with the trappings of fantasy, the other is straight fantasy with humorous bits.

4. First Knight (1995) vs. Camelot (1967)

5. Indiana Jones & the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) vs. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)

6. Phantom of the Opera (Lon Chaney version 1924) vs. Phantom of the Opera (Andrew Lloyd Webber version 2004) - haven't seen the 2004 version

7. High Plains Drifter (1973) vs. Pale Rider (1985)

8. Hellboy (2004) vs. The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension (1984) - again not really comparable, for basically the same reason as above.

9. Little Shop of Horrors (1980) vs. Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) - OK, this one is really difficult, Tim Curry give RHPS an edge tho.

10. “Manos”, the Hands of Fate (1966) vs. Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959) - gotta love Bela
