[QUOTE="Wombat, post: 2039195, member: 8447"] So, let's see what's left... Northern Group #1 Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring (2001) vs #5 [S]The Matrix[/S] (1999) -- This is not even a contest. In one movie there is acting and thought. In the other there is Keanu... #3 Indiana Jones & the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) vs #10 [S]Time Bandits[/S] (1981) -- Oh sigh. Tough one. I think I have to go with Indy, but this is a very, very close call. Eastern Group #1 [S]Alien [/S](1979) vs #5 Spiderman (2002) -- No problem. Spidey. I hate watching Jonathon Hurt die... #11 [S]The Fifth Element[/S] (1997) vs #2 Aliens (1986) -- But on the other hand, I think I have to go with Aliens here... call me fickle ;) Southern Group #1 Brazil (1985) vs #5 [S]Princess Bride[/S] (1987) -- AGH REDUX! **sigh** I suppose I will have to go with Brazil here, but both are favourite movies. (err, you sure I can't rearrange this group?) #11[S] Total Recall[/S] (1990) vs #7 Planet of the Apes (1968) -- yuk. If I [I]have [/I]to choose one, I'll take the Apes... but only barely so. Neither is a movie I enjoy watching. Western Group #1 Bladerunner (1982) vs #4 [S]King Kong[/S] (1933) -- Interesting. Not quite sure. Like I said, if there was a 1.5 version of Bladerunner, this would be easy. So, premiere special effects, but for which era? A slight edge to Bladerunner, but just slightly. #3 [S]Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back[/S] (1980) vs #2 Three Musketeers (1973) -- Rough. Very rough. These are two of my fave rave films. Either one of them would mop the floor with the two above. In the end I will give it to the Musketeers simply because it is a complete film, where ESB requires films on either side of it. [/QUOTE]
