Those 4 really are classics, but almost impossible to compare. I'd be fine with thinking of them as Mount Rushmore.

We all know it was gonna be either Star Wars or the winner of Godfather I/II.

That is the real final here.

Brian's most likely right. We forget that lots of people don't have the ability to be on TexAgs whenever they want. Almost every poll I've ever done will have a big push when it's first active, another after 7 p.m. - when people who aren't on their phones all day get home and check out TexAgs, and another in the early morning between 8-10 a.m. when people get to work and say, well I've checked my email and hit on the receptionist, time to get on TexAgs.

Obviously I've had trouble with people spamming my polls and was able to sort if out via seeing the same IP address over and over, but even then it was like 50 or 60 votes in a matter of minutes at 3 a.m. Still it's your poll, carry on as you will.

Maybe so. I have no idea how to check IP addresses (would like to know how if I ever do this again). All the votes but one over that span of time went to Star Wars, until then neither film would have a streak of more than two or three in a row with The Godfather obtaining a two vote lead. I can easily see Star Wars winning, even by a large margin but found a rush a votes all at once rather telling. Another oddity was the switching back and forth between Jaws and Animal House every other vote with one none vote throw in when to that point Jaws was comfortably ahead, in other words not a 50-50 vote split especially not every other vote.

I love Star Wars. My kids love Star Wars. I have Star Wars crap on my truck (because eff you my kids love it). We watch something Star Wars related almost weekly.

Godfather is the better movie hands down.

If solely based on the number of times I've watched each film Star Wars is the clear winner for '70s films for me. Patton, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Young Frankenstein, Rocky being next and probably in that order. That being said, The Godfather Part II and The Godfather are my 1A and 1B favorite films of all time.

Pick between Star Wars and Jaws?

Neither matchup is really a contest but there is time for your voice to be heard, VOTE HERE .

Nice work

I'll take Godfathers better showing, by far, against SW in the semifinal as vindication for our seeding discussion.

SW and GF were clear 1/2

GF defeated better competition along the way than Jaws easy path to the Finals. Including SW defeating Jaws by a wider margin than Jaws defeated Animal House in the semis. nuff said.

But well done and appreciated.

Let's see how these Final Four from the 70s fare against the 80s 90s and 00s in the Ultimate poll.

I don't want to talk to you no more.
I fart in your general direction!

My voting for Star Wars 837 times this week has finally paid off!

Damn right. BTTF should be the 80s comedy, not Ghostbusters

---

Except BTTF isn't really a comedy. It has some comic relief, but it would fall under either sci-fi or adventure. I don't think I've ever seen anyone refer to it as a comedy.

---

By that logic is Ghostbusters a comedy or is it a sci-fi/adventure that is just "funnier" than BTTF?

Ghostbusters is definitely a comedy first, sci fi second movie.

You could apply the same logic to BTTF though. The sci-fi is just a plot device to get to the real story, which basically takes place fully in 1955. And it's a "straight" comedy at that point.

I disagree. BTTF is an adventure/sci fi film first, comedy 2nd.
