Better Movie #20
Return of the King may have won 11 Academy Awards, but the members of TPWW resoundingly told Peter Jackson to take his Oscars and stick them up his hobbit-loving butthole. Empire Strikes Back pulls off the win with the largest margin of victory in Better Movie history. That's two rounds and two victories over Academy Best Picture winners.
Our next film didn't win any Academy Awards, but it does have a machine gun. Ho ho ho. Better Movie #20 Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back vs. Die Hard Polls are open for three days. Happy voting. |

Ah man that was a tough one. I voted Empire Strikes Back, simply because I'm a huge Star Wars fan. I was tempted to vote for Die Hard, but guess I just couldn't bring myself to vote against SW. Both AMAZING films.

Die Hard is all you need to know about action movies.

I love SW but the DH series, esp the first film, is one of my tops, I love it, saw it when I was like 11 and I loved it; the characters, the story, the lines, the acting, the cast, the soundtrack and its one of the best action films ever in my opinion.

I am a huge Star Wars nerd and I don't really like action movies.

12 terrorists, 1 cop and 1 pistol or
A whole empire, a Jedi in training and a light sabre? Both top movies, but the nerd in me is voting TESB. |

I voted for Star Wars last time by default, but in reality I'm not a *huge* Star Wars fan. Anywho, Die Hard gets my vote.

I think I have already explained why I'm voting the way I am. I'm voting for the better movie and not which of the main characters would win in a fight.
Die Hard is great though, but no contest. |

p.s. John McClane is a Star Wars guy. He says so

Die Hard is a brilliant action film, one of the best obviously. But I just think Empire is a better all round film and has a bit of everything.

For fuck sake, I'm not having that a load of aliens shooting at each other is better than John McClane

wow, I dunno. I was never a huge Rocky fan, so that choice wasn't hard, but this is tough.

Theres really only one movie that I think could stand a shot at taking out Star Wars but knowing people around here I bet Star Wars would still win..

Right I'm insisting on a special edition extension to this round where I ask 10 of my mates what they prefer and have it added to the results.

Well Die Hard is closing the gap. Only 3 votes separate them. Can it pull off the comeback?

What the fuck, die hard is an awesome file. But it's up against arguably the GOAT here. TKO to empire.

Die Hard is the greatest film of all time. How this is close is a mystery to me.
My faith in humanity is shaken to its core. |

It's more badass to be a regular guy capable of surviving extraordinary circumstances rather than just another Jedi.
Vader made Luke his bitch because Luke is inherently bitchy. He could have been in a John Hughes film. |

I'm sorry but comparing Hans Solo to John McClane is fucking ridiculous

I don't recall John McClane having to ditch his load like a scared little girl or ever being frozen in carbonite.

Correct, but it's the same concept. Regular guy, no powers or anything, getting through improbable situations on nothing but skill and luck. I never claimed Solo was more or less badass, just that he also would fit what you were saying.
