Ghostbusters

[The Taxi Driver]

I used to love these threads

anyway Definitly Blues Brothers

[uconjack]

Blues :( Brothers

[blibblobblib]

i dont get it. Are we voting which film we prefer? Or which one weve seen and the one which has been viewed most wins? Or are we voting in a kind of 'who would win' thingy, like if the Blues Brothers and the Ghostbusters had a fight? Because if its the latter, you are all fools as the Ghostbusters have their super laser pack thingys where as the Bluesbrothers have mere guns...

[Sinny McGuffins]

i dont get it. Are we voting which film we prefer?Yeah, you choose the film you like the most and vote.

I vote for Ghostbusters.

[blibblobblib]
