I for one have seen Part III numerous times and while I agree it wasn't near as good as the other two I thought it was still an important piece to the franchise in showing Michael wrestling with his demons.

First off IMO those movies should be seen unedited with no commercial interruptions and secondly there are people who love the franchise that would argue Part II is superior to the original.
I'm all about the unedited version of the first one where we get to see Apollonia's titties. :D

There's also a demographic skew to this place obviously. If you did this same contest among a bunch of 20-30 year olds, there's no way in hell the Godfather is still in it, and Harry Potter is a favorite to win it all.

It is what it is. I'm just enjoying the slight chaos as a mild offseason distraction. :)
While your explanation is valid/true you can't deny that this place is full of contrarians who would argue with a Stop sign if it brought them pleasure.

Yea, except you need to substitute Captain America for the guy with the sword. That would be accurate.

In hindsight I would probably concur that 2 is good and 3 stunk it up.

Tough choices here. I went with;
Indy over MCU. This was my toughest choice, as I have really enjoyed the MCU franchise. Honestly, I probably made my choice based on nostalgia. I'm good with whichever choice wins

Die-hard over Bond. Bond is good, don't get me wrong. But I just find Die-hard more to my liking.

Star Wars over X-Men. I can't wait for each new Star Wars movie to come out. When I hear a new X-Men is out, I'm thinking cool. I want to see it, but I'm not excited like I am for Star Wars.

Godfather over LOTR. It's the Godfather. Nuff said.

LOTR beating the Godfather? Time to go to the mattresses.

What time will tell is that the MCU is as unstoppable as the Hulk when rampaging; Thor with Stormbreaker in his hands and righteous anger in his eyes; Rocket when he has a chance to steal someone's prosthetic limb.... :D

Coochie liquor 04-22-2019 12:24 PM
Marvel
Bond
Star Wars
Godfather

When voting for LOTR, I've included all 3 Hobbit movies in my decision.

Without the Hobbit trilogy, I probably would've gone with the Godfather.

Listen, I'm a HUGE fan of Indy, but let's face it, there's one great movie, one damn good, fun, movie, and the rest is crap.

MCU vs the Indy series is like Thor vs. Hawkeye. I mean, Hawkeye is fine and all, but let's be serious...

The Godfather gave us two of the greatest and most influential films in the American canon while LOTR gave us more of the same CGI. CP votes LOTR, of course.

I blame Diane Keaton. Bitch should have sprouted wings and horns or something.
