Better Movie #9

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Triple A called it the most overrated movie he's ever seen, but The Shawshank Redemption beat the pootie tang out of our first 4-time winner, Forrest Gump.

Now, Andy and Red begin their own journey toward immortality. First, they'll have to endure the wrath of Robert Zemeckis' revenge.

This is actually a tough call for me. In the technical sense, Shawshank is the "better" movie, but the entertainment value of Back to the Future is through the roof.

[Krimzon7]

This isn't even a contest. BTTF is awesome!

[Supreme Olajuwon]

uh oh, an early lead for BTTF

run out the clock, boys!

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Also, still looking for requests and suggestions for these matchups.

Send me some ideas, people.

[thedamndest]

I hope BTTF wins just so I can start voting again.

[Jeritron]

This is very hard

[Requiem]

Back to the Future is one of the best movies ever made, tbh.

[Nark Order]

Oh god, I know there's going to be some complaints here if BTTF wins but I don't care. BTTF is still one of my favorite movies ever.

[Lock Jaw]

Back to the Future is perfect. Perfect for anybody. Perfect for anytime.

[Ogen]

Very tough, Shawshank wins though.

[GreySunshine]

BTTF. <3

[The Chris Rosa]

Love <i>Future</i>, but <i>Sharktank</i> get's the vote.

[Gertner]

ugh. Back to the Future isn't even close to being as good as Shawshank

[Triple Naitch]

Chuck! Chuck! It's your cousin, Marvin. Marvin Berry. Remember that new sound you're looking for?

[The Genius]

yes 14-7 BTF! that couldnt make me happier.

[toxic rooster]

I was honestly undecided until Gertner posted in this thread, and I make it a general rule to go in the complete opposite direction to whatever Gertner says. You got lucky, McFly.

[Gertner]

yeah, that's unfortunate. Stupid Aussie.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Hard, but in the end I had to go with BTTF. Amazing film.

[KYR]

GREAT SCOTT!!!

[KYR]

Heavy.

There's that word again. Is there a problem with the Earth's gravitational pull in the future?

[Boondock Saint]

Back to the Future is one of the best movies ever made, tbh.

[Boondock Saint]

I spilled beer all over when that car smashed into me. Who's gonna pay my cleaning bill?

[Boondock Saint]

A colored mayor, that'll be the day.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I'm still on the fence here.

[Jeritron]

He's an idiot. His parents are probably idiots too. It comes from upbringing. Loraine, you ever have a kid like that and I'll disown you.

[KYR]

So tell me FUTURE BOY, who's the president in 1985?

Wow old trailers are so different to the miniature entire plot summaries we get today.

[Jeritron]

The BTTF2 teaser is one of the great trailers of all-time.

Ronald Reagan

[Boondock Saint]

[Gone Mad]

I'm sorry. You're just too darn loud.
