Night of the Living Dead Vs Exorcist is Match 1.

And Match 2 is: Evil Dead 2 Vs Alien Vs The Thing. What's your pick for Match 2?

Those are cool posters. Like I was saying I havent seen Commando since the first time. It's on my re-list. I liked Blade Runner 2048, have to say it wasn't as memorable as the first. What'd ya think of 2048?

Commando is awesome. It's probably one of the top macho 80s violent movies. Very basic rescue the girl action story. Over the top violence that keeps getting better with every scene. A bit of necessary 80s nudity. Great lines.

Blade Runner 2049 is the best of Harrison Ford's come back performances. But it's not his fault that Star Wars and Indiana Jones were bad movies.

I don't want to spoil Blade Runner for those that haven't seen it though. I do need to watch it a few more times. It's not better than the original. Few movies equal original movies that are classic. I think only Alien and Aliens. Terminator 1 and T2. Predator and Predator 2 are in that category. But those sequels were well thought out, added a twist, or increased the stakes. Also they didn't take years to come out. I can't think of a sequel that came out years later that was as good as the original.

All the performances in Blade Runner 2049 and elements are amazing. But I guess in short the movie didn't leave me with the feeling that I had when I watched the original. Unlike those sequels that I mentioned above.

It probably doesn't help that Blade Runner 2049 has a twist that didn't cross my mind when I watched the original. But I guess the more human than human line should have made people think that.

And then there is the helper girl. Which is one of those what is real questions. Just because someone is programmed to learn and behave a certain way does that make her less real than a real person? I don't know. I need to watch it a few more times.

That and the centerpiece display with the facehuggers in the containers. It's like the ultimate Alien and Predator setup. They are only missing a few pieces that I bet they probably have if they did an updated room tour.

Tough choice between Alien and The Thing. I only went with Alien because I saw it first.

Exorcist has taken a substantial lead over NOLD. But sweet pizza! Look at the match between Evil Dead II, Alien and The Thing! Been neck-&-neck all the way.

We still have Roshiq to vote (maybe FerretChucks). As I recall, he likes all three, but I think he leans to Alien and The Thing. And don't worry, he doesn't care what I say.

Current Vote Running...

Match 1:
4 Night of the Living Dead (1968)
7 The Exorcist (1973)

Match 2:
4 Evil Dead II (1987)
4 Alien (1979)
3 The Thing (1982)
