This was a tough round.

The top 2 match ups were difficult.

[Kodos]

Raiders vs. Die Hard. Ouch. Tough call.

[Vince, Pt. II]

As much as I love Die Hard and Saving Private Ryan, I have little remorse about leaving them behind. Seven Samurai was much more difficult to vote against, but I decided to damn the plot holes in Inception and reward what I found to be a brilliant concept.

Unfortunately I somehow thought I was voting for The Two Towers, rather than Fellowship; Towers was a fairly easy win over the brilliant 12 Monkeys to me, but knowing after the fact that it was Fellowship...I think I may have voted 12 Monkeys despite how much I enjoyed Fellowship.
