Not sure, I don't really know how it would stand up for someone just seeing it for the first time now. It blew my mind as a kid that's for sure though.

The Last Starfighter was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid, but I haven't seen Tron. I must say that I first heard about that film recently because of the remake. I have no idea how I missed it before. So obviously I can't vote, just wanted to say that I loved The Last Starfighter.

these were two of my favorite movies when i was young....but i think The Last Starfighter has a bit more prevalence...just due to the fact that i was a bit older....great war though

The Last Starfighter 1
Tron 1

*my brother in law and i showed Tron to my 13 year old nephew a few months back....and he enjoyed it....so i think in many ways it still holds its own

The Last Starfighter (1984)

TRON (1982)

**** I was just joking when I made this suggestion, it is a good match up though.

The Last Starfigter - 2
Tron - 1

Some people may call the Last Starfighter a poor mans Star Wars. But it reeks of nostalgia and good times. Lot's of laughs to be had too, both at the one liners and the CGI.

i remember my eyes popping out of my head when the guy takes his face off.....

Well that was the only suggestion I got in the past 3 days. If people want to see the battle continuing someone really needs to send some suggestions.

...or I'll just toss 2 films in the ring myself.

I have to say I'm a little surprised by how the voting is going here. I didn't think The Last Starfighter was all that well known, especially not compared to Tron.

The Last Starfighter: WIN!

So the next battle is on.

High Fidelity (2000)

vs.

Grosse Pointe Blank (1997)

bob. · 09-15-2010, 06:49 PM

why couldn't either of those be up against 2012 to make an easy choice?!

very hard...i really enjoy both

High Fidelity 0
Grosse Pointe Blank 1

Dan Aykroyd was my deciding factor
