Better Movie #9
 

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.



Polls are open for three days. Happy voting.

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.

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

uh oh, an early lead for BTTF

run out the clock, boys!

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

Send me some ideas, people.

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

This is very hard

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

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.

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

Very tough, Shawshank wins though.

BTTF. <3

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

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

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

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

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.

yeah, that's unfortunate. Stupid Aussie.

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

GREAT SCOTT!!!

Heavy.

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

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

A colored mayor, that'll be the day.

I'm still on the fence here.

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.

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.

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