[QUOTE="Berandor, post: 2022411, member: 225"] Maldur to the rescue! :) This is the final verdict: [b]1.[/b]: In the Battle of "Best Movie by Tim Burton starring Johnny Depp", [b]Sleepy Hollow[/b] beats Edward Scissorhands [b]12-8[/b] [b]2.[/b]: I didn't choose "House of Flying Daggers" because I'm not sure it's been released everywhere (at least I didn't see it). I thought Hero was alright, but my favourite's won: [b]Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon[/b] beat Hero [b]13-5[/b]. [b]3.[/b]: These two movies have, imo, had the best cinema dragon so far. It seems that even though Dragonheart has a truly D&D-looking dragon, the old is the good one as [b]Dragonslayer[/b] defeats Dragonheart by [b]6-12[/b] [b]4.[/b]: Theme: French Films. I like both of them very much, and so would have liked an even closer call. Still, it's not too easy for [b]The Fifth Element[/b] to beat The Bortherhood of the Wolf [b]7-12[/b] [b]5.[/b]: These are two cheesy and funny flicks. Of course, despite Ash, I would never betray my love for Jack Burton - which is just as well since [b]Big Trouble in Little China[/b] throws Army of Darkness into remake hell [b]12-8[/b] [b]6.[/b]: At fist, Dracula should have gone against "Shadow of the Vampire", an excellent movie btw. But since DoD got a lot of good reviews (I haven't seen it, personally), I decided to make it a battle of the remakes instead. I like Coppola's film despite Reeves, and just like that [b]Bram Stoker's Dracula[/b] dominates Dawn of the Dead [b]15-3[/b] [b]7.[/b]: This is a match-up of two big summer blockbuster genre films, both of which I enjoyed more than I would have thought, which is to say, at all.

[b]9.[/b]: So I was left wanting to put some sci-fi into my list. 13th Floor would have been a more fitting partner for ExistenZ, but we'll never know (and there was a Cube thread here recently). Anyway, in the bonus match-up [b]Cube[/b] beats ExistenZ [b]7-4[/b] I didn't use Gladiator vs. Braveheart (no magical element), Robin Hood vs. Robin & Marian, and The Man who would be King vs. King Ralph :) Next round!
