[Gabe D]

Matt Stone
I love every movie on his list except for Donnie Darko, which I thought was pretty good.

 

[Jan H]

Ouch, tough matchup.
Evan - very close

 

[Lew Crippen]

Very close. I’d second what Steve said. The selection of The General is just enough for me to give
Evan the nod.

 

[Matt Stone]

And Evan is the first into the championship with a trouncing of me 10 to 5.

My vote goes to Jan H.

 

[Jan H]

Close Encounters overrated?? The second best Spielberg movie?? Uh, I'll have what you're smoking!
BTW, Rob, the link you provided Re: PowerDVD wasn't working. I'll send you a PM.

 

[Evan Case]

This is very close, as Jan has three of my all-time Top Ten, but also 2-3 that I like more than I love. On the other hand, I love each of George's picks (even the very underrated Planes, Trains & Automobiles), but none of them manage to reach my Top Ten.
Both also have five from my "official" (as in: the written down version; not the constantly changing nebulous mass of great films currently floating in my head) Top 100.
Hell, I give up. I wouldn't mind losing to either of 'em, so I'll just take an abstain this round.

I am going to ABSTAIN because although Jan has more films that I truly love, his list also includes Full Metal Jacket, which I loathe.

 

[ChuckDeLa]

Wow, is there not ONE foreign film in the entire final four? That's kinda pathetic.

Well, I didn't say that I didn't like it! I gave it a thumbs up. I just think it's overrated, and certainly not Spielberg's second best movie!
Don't worry Jan, you are still my pick to win it all!

 

[Rain]

Close Encounters overrated?? The second best Spielberg movie??

Third best.
I have to vote for Jan H, but it's very close.
