    Hanah and Her Sisters vs. The Others Abstain Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone vs. Office Space Harry Potter although I'm not too sure on it being a classic. It will be ever overshadowed by the superior books. Heat vs. Ocean's Eleven Heat Hedwig and the Angry Inch vs. The...

    Good Will Hunting vs. Predator Neither Although I do enjoy both. Grave of the Fireflies vs. Pleasantville Abstain Gremlins vs. Platoon Well, I'd say a good chance at both. However, Gremlins seems a bit dated already. However, I still enjoy it. But, I guess I'll give my vote to...

    Ginger Snaps vs. Princess Mononoke In quite possibly the easiest call ever, Princess Mononoke. Great movie. I'm not too sure if it'll be a classic, but here's wishful thinking. Glengarry Glen Ross vs. The Princess Bride Ross has the potential to be a classic, but it probably won't make...

    Gettysburg vs. Rad Abstain Ghost vs. The Quiet American Abstain Ghostbusters vs. Pulp Fiction Man, I think both of these puppies could go the distance. However, I do believe, for right or wrong, that Pulp Fiction will certainly make it. The Gift vs. The Professional The...

    A Fish Called Wanda vs. Road to Perdition I happen to enjoy both of these. And I honestly wouldn't be too surprised to find that they both are classics in the end. I also wouldn't be surprised if neither were. However, I'm going to give my vote to A Fish Called Wanda. One of the funniest movies...

    Fatal Attraction vs. The Royal Tenenbaums Attraction might be the more remembered film of the two in the future, but I can't bring myself to vote for it. Ferris Bueller's Day Off vs. Roxanne Neither though I do dig Roxanne. Field of Dreams vs. Romancing the Stone Field of Dreams...

    Fantasia 2000 vs. Ruthless People Abstain Although since I've seen neither, I'm going to say I think that they both stink. Farewell My Concubine vs. Rushmore abstain I'm not quite sure how I have managed to let a movie with the word Concubine slip past me, but it has happened. Far...

    The English Patient vs. Saving Private Ryan I still have never gotten around to watching either of these puppies. Hmm, I do have to go to the video store today. Perhaps... E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial vs. The Santa Clause I must say I'm not a fan of either, but I think E.T. is a fairy...

    The Devil's Backbone vs. The Shawshank Redemption Abstain- but I'll bet money that Shawshank ends up a classic. Die Hard vs. Shallow Grave I think Die Hard is already a classic in the sense that it has spawned numerous movies: i.e. Die Hard on a plane, Die Hard on a boat, Die Hard on a...

    Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon vs. A Simple Plan Man oh man. Tiger is already a classic in my book. I think I've raved enough on it before, so I'll spare you. However, I honestly doubt it will be a classic in 50 years. Same can be said for Plan. I love both, but I got to go with Neither...

    I must abstain on all except Chicken Run vs Starship Troopers. I happen to like both movies, but I never found the endearing charm in Chicken Run that most people have. I liked the film, but thought it didn't hold a candle to the previous Wallace and Gromit shorts. Troopers, on the other hand, I...

    Brian carefully looks around the corner. Oh shit, there it is: Controversy. He quickly dashes out of sight of the evil beast. What to do? The Beast's appetite is enormous. Don't feed it Brian, he thinks. Whatever you do don't feed it. Hey, why isn't Baby Geniuses in this tourney? Shit...

    Batman vs. Trainspotting As many have already pointed out, Spotting is indeed a fine film, but I don't think it has the gusto to go the distance. Batman on the other hand may not be the stuff classics are made of, but I feel it has better legs. Beauty and the Beast vs. Traffic...

    Armageddon vs. Tucker: The Man and His Dream Geddon is far from a classic, but it did have mass appeal which may vault it, eventually, into a somewhat classic status. Tucker was a decent movie, but I don't think many people remember it now, so I don't think it stands much a chance. My...
