Better Movie #2
"Though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we shall fear no evil, for we have particle accelerators."
-Egon 23 In what critics around the world and ct2k are deeming a massive upset, Ghostbusters defeated Pulp Fiction in the inaugural Better Movie battle. Now, the fearsome foursome face another daunting task, way tougher than any marshmallow man: Bitch tit Bob. Better Movie #2 Ghostbusters vs. Fight Club Polls are open for three days. Happy voting.

These are two cult classics.
Ghostbusters is by all means the better movie though. If I put it over Pulp Fiction, it has to go over this. Fight Club has grown to cult status due to many of it's cool elements, and the actors in it. However, it wasn't very well recieved when it came out. I like it. Good movie, but it doesn't stick out to me as great. Ghostbusters is a top comedy of all-time. |

Ghostbusters.
I've only seen Fight Club when it first came out, and I was only 11/12 then, so don't really understand or remember any of it. |

I have a Fight Club movie poster, so that wins.

Sad to say I've yet to see Fight Club, so I've gotta go with Ghostbusters by default.

I'm sorry, I hated 'The Uninvited' also because of a similar ending.

As far as David Fincher goes, I prefer Se7en and Zodiac

Apparently Sixth Sense came out a few months before Fight Club.

And yet ghostbusters isn't even imdb's top 250. Go figure.
I'm going with Fight Club even though I was bummed out that they cut out the original ending from the book. Still a great great movie |

IMDB's top 250 is a farce.
Pretty sure Pirates of the Caribbean is in it and E.T. isn't For some reason, certain movies get held out of it by a group of naysayers. Halloween isn't in there either. A few others have stuck out to me as "why the fuck isn't that on the 250" before But yea, in general that list is a good guidline for what's popular among male movie geeks in their 20s, with a few exceptions. It's also ridiculous how everytime a movie comes out it is in the top250. |

There was an episode that was very similar to the Sixth Sense, that M. Night Shaymalan admitted to deriving his movie from. |

Eh, the system is fine since it's just an open poll. It's just important to realize that the list has no credibility or reach AT ALL.
Basically great movies that aren't "cool" don't get the recognition they deserve from people on there. There is no way E.T. doesn't deserve to be on that list. It just isn't on there because the demographic that dominates the community on there thinks emotions are uncool Can't believe Ghostbusters and Halloween aren't though. There are a lot of others I can't think of right now too. Legitimately great films. |

Gotta go with Fight Club, I just love that movie too much.
Also, the book ends with Tyler Durden (Jack) in a mental hospital, where the guards are part of project mayhem, and they nod at him knowingly all the time, and assure him everything is going according to plan (if I recall correctly.) I like the ending of the book better too. |

Love both films, but Ghostbusters edges it because of how awesome Bill Murray is.

I don't know. Fight Club is over-rated but apparently so is Ghostbusters now. I might have to go watch Ghostbusters again since I haven't seen it in about fifteen years.

I'm going to go with Fight Club because it has an awesome soundtrack and Brad Pitt is really hot in it, although it fizzled out at the end. I haven't seen Ghostbusters in such a long time that I really don't remember anything about it other than liking it when I was eight.

Fight Club I could only get through twice, because to me, once the big twist ending was revealed, the only reason to watch it again was to see how much they teased at the twist in the beginning. I enjoyed the hell out of it, but on sheer replayability (not sure if that's a word), I'm going with Ghostbusters.

I like Ghostbusters but I don't think it should have beaten Pulp Fiction, and I give Fight Club the edge here.

Fight club.
I'd go for Ghostbusters cause Bill Murray is the man, but I'm not, I voted for Fight Club. |

Does this mean Fight Club is more popular than Pulp Fiction on here?

I missed the first round, and I'm surprised Ghostbusters beat out Pulp Fiction.
I'm a huge Ghostbusters fan, but c'mon. Fight Club easy. crossrine |
