While I really like every single movie in this poll, there were mostly clear winners here. Matrix/Gladiator and Se7en/Departed were legit tossups though.

revrew · 03-28-2017, 02:32 PM

Matrix v. Gladiator?? Argh! How am I supposed to choose?

OK, I chose. But I really didn't want to.

NobodyHere · 03-28-2017, 03:19 PM

The Princess Bride/ Two Towers matchup was the only hard one for me this time.

SplitPersonality1 · 03-28-2017, 04:47 PM

Se7en vs The Departed.......yikes.
Eventually chose Se7en based on the number of times I've rewatched it.

Think it's hard to choose now...Potential next round match ups:

The Godfather v Casablanca
The Princess Bride v The Matrix
Pulp Fiction v The Usual Suspects
