Battle of Blockbuster Movies

Return of the King is one of those films that blows you away the first time you see it but loses your interest over time. 12 Angry Men I can watch over and over again... so: 12 Angry Men.

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.

Didn't see 12 men. No vote from me in this one!

Same here.

LOTR definitely.....12 men (no matter how angry they might be) can beat the challenger.

Not that it could matter, but: 12 Angry Men.

I vote RotK. Can't wait to get the dvd tomorrow.
