7-10

1) Sleepy Hollow (1999)
2) Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) - though House of Flying Daggers blow both of them out of the water.
3) Dragonslayer (1981)
4) The Fifth Element (1997)
5) Army of Darkness (1993) - more quotable quotes than BTiLC.
6) Dawn of the Dead (2004) - I didn't like either, but something about zombies...
7) I, Robot (2004) - tougher choice, and I adore anything by Phillip K. Dick, but my dislike of Tom Cruise beats out my dislike of Will Smith.
8) The Mummy (1999)
9) ?

Sleepy Hollow (1999) - I like both, but Christina Ricca seals the deal for me...

Abstain - haven't seen either.

Dragonheart (1996) - I like this movie a lot...

The Fifth Element (1997) - Sure it's guilty pleasure... but I'm happy to be guilty.

Army of Darkness (1993) - Hands down.

Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) - Hands down again.

Minority Report (2002) - I thought this was a very smart movie, and really enjoyed it.

Abstain - I like both A LOT, and can't vote for either one.

Cube (1997) - I actually liked the original a good deal; it wasn't a bad movie. The sequels are getting to be a bit much, though...

----

1. Sleepy Hollow (1999) - A lot more fun than Scissorshands
2. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) - A close call
3. Dragonslayer (1981) - Vermithrax Pejorative, nuff said
4. The Fifth Element (1997) - Brotherhood started strong, but ended as a train wreck
5. Big Trouble in Little China (1986) - BTiLC is brilliant, AoD is just self deprecating
6. Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) - The DoD remake was just terrible
7. Minority Report (2002) - I would pick Heartbeeps over I, Robot
8. The Mummy (1999) - Great campy pulp film, no Baldwin is just icing

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.

It doesn't bother me.
