Film Compatibility Test: Nominations

[transmogrifier]

You know how Mia Wallace in Pulp Fiction claims that there are only two types of people, those who like Elvis or those who like The Beatles? Well, I wanted to take that idea and use it to test film compatibility for the people on this site.

What I want is to make a list of "X vs Y" comparisons, then set up a Google Survey and get you all to answer it and then figure out whose tastes are most similar to each other.

I was going to make the list myself, but I thought I'd get your ideas and use them in instead. We want to have pairs that are connected somehow and that are equally likely to have defenders on both sides. I was thinking things like:

Star Wars vs. Marvel
John Carpenter vs. Wes Craven
Gremlins vs. Gremlins 2
Bette Davis vs. Jean Crawford
Die Hard series vs Lethal Weapon series

etc.


Give me enough ideas, and I'll make it happen!

[Philip J. Fry]

Mmmh...
Once Upon a Time in the West or The Wild Bunch

[Rico]

The answer is Gremlins 2 of course.

[DFA1979]

Star Wars
John Carpenter
Gremlins
Bette Davis
Die Hard series

And The Beatles no question

For me it is It's A Wonderful Life vs A Christmas Story

[Philip J. Fry]

Deckard: Human or Replicant?

[DFA1979]

Replicant with a longer lifespan.

[Skitch]

Back to the Future 1 or 2.

[Ezee E]

Star Wars/Marvel - I dig both
Neither sticks out
I enjoy both.
Haven't seen enough to make a preference
Die Hard, easily.
