Well I'm gonna allow it this time. Consider this a warning.
PEOPLE! BATTLE THE DEAD! |
Dawn of the Dead Original 0
Dawn of the Dead Remake 1 I'll go for remake, I could take it more seriously. I'm not much of a horror person but these I dont particularly mind. I preferred Shaun of the Dead to both of them though... :p: |
It's so, so ridiculously close but I'm gonna have to give it to the remake. I think it's a bit scarier.
Dawn of the Dead Original 0 Dawn of the Dead Remake 2 Both are two of my favourite horror movies btw, even though I haven't seen alot. |
The original Day of the Dead was filmed in my town, which led me to watch the old Dawn movie shortly after. I like the oldies.
OLD-1 NEW-2 |
i love both movies....i honestly thought i would hate the remake....i even dragged myself to see it opening day just to have lots of fuel to destroy it....but it was really good....but it was missing something that the original had....put that on top off the better gore effects and the great Goblin soundtrack.....
Original 2 remake 2 |
IT'S A TIE!!
Next: Religulous (2008) vs Jesus Camp (2006) |
^ neither were that great but I found jesus camp more interesting.
religulous 0 jesus camp 1 |
religulous 0
jesus camp 2 I really just didn't like Religulous all that much. |
Next Battle:
Full Metal Jacket (1987) http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/image...864e2110.L.jpg vs Platoon (1986) http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/image...f699b110.L.jpg |
Tough call. I think the bootcamp segment of Full Metal Jacket is better than anything found in Platoon, but overall I think Platoon is the better movie so...
Full Metal Jacket: 0 Platoon: 1 |
Platoon was one of those movies that just escaped my mind the second it ended. It just didn't leave me with anything. I did love FMJ, fully and immensely, and I still remember every part of it.
Full Metal Jacket: 1 Platoon: 1 |
i love FMJ, yet haven't seen platoon. should i?

The films seem to change every few hours :(
Anyhow I am not a big fan of war films but I have seen Platoon more times than Full Metal Jacket and although Platoon is a little melodramatic and overrated I will give the nod to it. Full Metal Jacket's drill sergeant middle section is a much better piece of filming than Platoon as a whole, but everything after that just seems like an anti climax to me. Better extras on the Platoon DVD too;) Full Metal Jacket 1 Platoon 2 |

Ah, everybody says that about FMJ. Of course, it's also one of the most easily quoted movies I've ever seen, especially for a non-comedy...
|
i really love both of these movies....and i think they both attempt to break into the core of what war can do to the human condition....but honestly one scene breaks the tie for me....(from Full Metal Jacket) the scene where Joker is being yelled at for his attempts to express the duel nature of man....the entire scene is basically shot close up to the actors faces....but the entire time a giant pit full of lye covered corpses can be scene in the backround...
Full Metal Jacket 2 Platoon 2 |
The way I see it, this is one of the lesser Kubrick films vs one of the better Stone films. And Kubrick still takes it, although by a hair this time. I like both of these films though.
Full Metal Jacket 3 Platoon 2 |
^ That, pretty much.
FMJ 4 Platoon 2 |
FMJ: WIN!
River's Edge vs Blue Velvet GO! |
Dennis Hoppers best films....and characters...but seeing as Frank Booth is...in my opinion....the greatest movie villain (which i know is saying a lot)....even though i find the character Feck to be great and River's Edge Has Crispin Glover....Frank Booth and Candy Colored Clown....takes the prize
River's Edge - 0 Blue Velvet - 1 |
Here's one unpopular opinion - of all the actors in River's Edge the most genuine seemed to me Keanu Reeves. Good film. But Blue Velvet is great.
River's Edge - 0 Blue Velvet - 2 |
Blue Velvet: WIN!
Suburbia vs SLC Punk |
Holy **** I've actually seen SLC Punk but not the other one so I can't vote...
|
SLC Punk is a great movie, though. I had never heard of it but it was on TV really late at night years ago. It was one of those movies where I thought I'd probably turn it off and go to bed after 15 minutes of it, but I ended up watching the whole thing.
But I've never seen Suburbia, either, so I can't vote. |
Suburbia - 0
SLC Punk - 1 Although Suburbia was quite good. SLC Punk kind of shaped my high school self in a lot of ways, so it's just got sentimental value. |
Suburbia - 1
SLC Punk - 1 exactly the same but for Suburbia.....we must have watched it daily for months both are great movies....i just find Suburbia to be more fun to watch |
Another tie, it seems.
The Outsiders vs Rumble Fish The Battle begins! Ps. If anyone has any suggestions, please send in. |
The Outsiders 1
Rumble Fish 0 one of my all time favorite movies |
^I bet this is your suggestion
Mmm...Matt Dillon...This is tough, I like both of these films. Since I can't decide, I'll go with a somewhat shallow reason. Mickey Rourke, in the 80s, always prevails :) The Outsiders 1 Rumble Fish 1 |
The Outsiders 2
Rumble Fish 1 Liked Rumble Fish but I didn't love it like I did The Outsiders. |
Rumble Fish: style + substance.
The Outsiders 2 Rumble Fish 2 |

The Outsiders 2 Rumble Fish 3 |
Rumble Fish WINS!
Gattaca (1997) vs A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) I'm gonna start the voting, as Gattaca is one of my favourite films of all time. Gattaca 1 A.I 0 |
Gattaca 2
A.I. 0 Gattaca was really, really good, and I thought AI was just ok. |
Gattaca is great, although I liked A.I. quite a bit. I wasn't overly critical of it like some people. I guess I have a soft spot for Spielberg and his sentimentality.
Gattaca 3 A.I 0 |
I haven't seen A.I. but I really liked GATTACA.
Did anyone else notice Ethan Hawke smokes in GATTACA? How absurd is the idea for his character to smoke when he has so many physical limitations to overcome? |
