EN World Movie Battle Royal! We have our winner!

[Pielorinho]

Round 7-3 (I think)
Edward Scissorhands (1990) Oh, man--this is the toughest matchup for me yet. I give it to Eddie by a hair, because the movie had some stuff going on beyond just the basic story; Sleepy Hollow had the science-vs.-mysticism thang, but didn't do much with it.
Hero (2002) Another tough matchup, but Hero had the more complex story, and I loved the color play in it.
Dragonslayer (1981) Now we're getting easier. This ain't a great movie, but Dragonheart just annoyed me.
The Fifth Element (1997) Easier still. Fifth Element is a wonderful comedy, whereas I thought Brotherhood was way overrated. Sure, it had some good fight sequences, but it didn't make much sense. And the villain's triumphant moment of, "I'm just a sweet trans-vestite..." really ruined any tension in the climax for me.
Big Trouble in Little China (1986) I'm not very fond of either, actually, but Big Trouble wins by a smidge.
Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) I didn't see the Dawn remake, but I'm one of the few people who liked Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula. It helped that I tell myself that Keanu Reeves wasn't an actor cast for the role, but was rather a janitor conscripted into the part when the real actor fell ill and who bravely fumbled his way through the film.
I, Robot (2004) vs. Minority Report (2002) No vote, since I've still not seen either of these. I'm such a slacker.
The Mummy (1999) I think I heard bad things about The Shadow, but I didn't see it. Regardless, I thought The Mummy was great popcorn.

No vote in the substitution round or for the "Hard to be a God" thing, not having seen any of them.

Sky Captain would count as Sci-Fiction!

Ah, great, and now I took "The Shadow"

There's still round 8, and maybe a few filler matchups, though. Who knows? (hint, hint)

Interesting votes, so far.

Round 7-4
Edward Scissorhands
Crouching Tiger: I liked Hero, but it just wasn't as good. And? Ang Lee.
Dragonslayer
Ooh: toughie. Gotta go with Brotherhood of the Wolf, though.
Big Trouble in Little China: 'Cause you know what ol' Jack Burton always says?
Dawn of the Dead: I'm susprised no-one has put in "Shaun of the Dead" yet. (Hint, hint!!!)
Minority Report: while, IMO, both were crappy Minority Report has more to it.
While I like the Shadow as a character better, The Mummy is, IMO, a better genre film.
And for the bonus? I like both (I almost used Existenz in my round), I'm gonna go with Cube.

ROUND 7-6 Unless someone beats me to it... EDIT: And Cthulhu's Librarian did just that...
----

1. Sleepy Hollow (1999) I've always thought ES was merely strange. I realize that excites the artistic amongst us, but I prefer a new take on a classic myth.
2. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) Hero's on my Netflix queue, but I still haven't seen it. I didn't particularly like a lot of things about CTHD, but it was OK.
3. Dragonslayer (1981) Let's see, cheezy vs. merely old and dated. Give me old and dated anyday.
4. The Fifth Element (1997) Another one where I've got Brotherhood on my Netflix queue, but still haven't seen it.
5. Big Trouble in Little China (1986) I saw most of Army of Darkness on TV and I don't understand what the big deal about it is.
6. Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) In many ways, a deeply flawed movie, but better than the alternative.
7. I, Robot (2004) I'm not entirely sure how those two match up, but that was a hard choice. Not that I love either of them, but I like both of them equally.
8. The Mummy (1999) Not even close. The Mummy all the way.
9. ExistenZ (1999) Never saw The Cube. The previews totally turned me off.

[Berandor]

I'm susprised no-one has put in "Shaun of the Dead" yet. (Hint, hint!!!)

Shaun of the Dead was in Round 2, I believe.

[Gomez]

7-9

1. Sleepy Hollow (1999) I never got into Edward Scissorhands. Loved Sleepy Hollow though.
2. Hero (2002) very hard choice. Hero was just a very beautifully filmed movie. I give it the edge.
3. Dragonslayer (1981) no contest!
4. Brotherhood of the Wolf (2001) I just like it better.
5. Big Trouble in Little China (1986) "Now this really pisses me off!"
6. Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) Now if you had picked the older DOTD I might have picked that one.
7. pass. I have not seen either.
8. The Shadow (1994) Two nice pulpy movies. Hard choice for me. I am going to go with the Shadow!
9. Cube (1997) I have seen the Cube but not the other. I though it was just ok.

Since I have done it a few times already, I feel I should ask:

Is it okay for us to place votes on a round after you have the required number? I know they don't count, but just wanted to see if it upset anything or anyone. Especially Gomez, since he has to figure out the votes.
