Quality batch of flicks there. Goodfellas vs Do The Right Thing was hard but I felt like throwing Right Thing a vote. Especially after last year's events.

And it's happened once again
I'll turn to a friend
Someone that understands

But everybody's gone
And I've been here for too long
To face this on my own

Two ties, one nailbiter, and one blowout. I'll announce results once there are no ties. If you've been thinking about it, now would be a great time to vote by posting in this thread or sending me a PM.
Do the Right Thing vs. Goodfellas (easiest by far)
The Shining vs. Pulp Fiction (I have voted a lot for Pulp Fiction considering that I'm not a huge fan)
Aliens vs. Fargo (second and third best films of the 8)
Amadeus vs. Boogie Nights
The bonus round is over. Here are MC's results:

Every movie I voted for won. The bonus round results please me.
This thread reminded me that I sure do love a lot of Spike Lee and Tarantino movies despite their personalities annoying me. Do the Right Thing and Donnie Darko are my two favorite movies where I don't think the filmmakers themselves fully understand why they are great.
Ratings on a 1-10 scale for your pleasure:
Top Gun: Maverick - 8
Top Gun - 7
McCabe & Mrs. Miller - 8
Crimes of the Future - 8
Videodrome - 9
Valley Girl - 8
Summer of '42 - 7
In the Line of Fire - 8
Passenger 57 - 7
Everything Everywhere All at Once - 6

I have been putting off United 93 and World Trade Center since... well they were released. Always thought of them as too soon or a cash grab.
