- Day 2 -

For matchup 1: abstain from 4 versus 13. I do not really enjoy westerns and war movies so I hope to not skew the votes either way.

For matchup 2: 5 (Avatar) - over 12 (The Shining).

Day 2 matchups cut across very clear genre categories though, thus genre preference rather than the specific movies motivate my vote.

Outlaw Jesse Wales was excellent.
The Professional was great as well.

Heat is just number 1 for me. I can watch that anytime.

You are partially right on jurrasic park, but what made that a generational movie was the cgi at the time. You watch it now and it is very ordinary but I still remember watching it at the theatre opening night and being blown away at the cgi. I guess that part of movies loses their luster over time.

Hitch? The Notebook? Black Swan? Independence Day? Wow...what a horrible list.
How anyone could put any of those movies in a list of the greatest films of all time is beyond me.

Really? The Notebook?

HITCH???????? That's not even one of the best 3 movies with Eva Mendes, let alone one of the best of all time.

The Notebook is one of the most skewed chick flicks on IMDB with a rating difference of 1 full point between women and men. Again, it's not even close to so many films excluded from your list.

The Notebook over James Bonds.

To Kill a Mockingbird over The Departed.

The Departed is a near exact remake of a killer Japanese movie. I'd rather watch Infernal Affairs any day.

The Notebook is just one of the best movies ever. If you have a heart to go with your genitalia, you'll vote for the Notebook.
