First Blood vs Red Dawn?!? That's a 50/50.

Beverly Hills Cop vs Revenge of the Nerds? Damn. I love both these movies.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off vs Stripes was the hardest choice for me

Love Ferris but Stripes is a no brainer for me.


I always crack up with this recruiter scene.

As long as he keeps insisting he's right, I'm going to keep poking fun.

Dune is better than Mad Max.

Dont like me voicing my opinion, buy a star and mute me.

I do like you voicing your opinion because you're like the guy whose team gets destroyed in the first round of the NBA playoffs claiming that his squad could beat either team in the Finals. It's hilarious!

I'm guessing this is Flubber which I assume is a fake movie and doesn't exist. Clerks and pretty much every movie Kevin Smith has done is overrated. The best thing he's done which is fantastic is his Daredevil run but that is a separate thread.

Well friendo....this is a popularity contest. Britney Spears will always beat out Dave Grohl. It's why only idiots support democracy.

If there was every any doubt that Harrison Ford was king of the 1980s at the box office, he's got 5 movies still in play, although one will eliminate another today.

Also, I have to take my own bitter pill today and admit that my favorite non-Star Wars 1980s movie, Big Trouble in Little China, is likely at the end of its journey today.

This round was pretty easy for me. Ghostbusters vs Big was the only one that I had to think about for a couple of seconds. The rest were easy choices.

Well, it should be. It's a no brainer. The greatest revenge story of our time.

I'm just going on how much I know this board loves Back to the Future. It would be shocking to see it lose this early.

#7 Big 67%, #23 Fletch 33%

All of you that voted for Big over Fletch are morons and should be ashamed. I would deport each and everyone of you if I could. This is worse than Raising Arizona getting upset.

A f'ing sappy, body switch movie beat out Chevy Chase in his prime. Oh, look! Tom Hanks is playing an oversized musical instrument with his feet. Give him the f'ing Oscar already and make this Best Picture!!!

I hate all of you.

Same here. The internet is probably pissed off because morons on here voted for Big over Fletch. Such a horrible take that it broke Google.

I have a theory many on this board were too young to watch something like Fletch, but the perfect age to watch Big, which came out 3 years later

Since it already seems a foregone conclusion, I'll throw out there that John McClane is treating Martin Riggs about the same way I'd envision Bruce Willis handling Mel Gibson if they ever got in a real fight.
