Angelo Badalamenti
The Ring or Blair Witch Project?
It is important to remember that some dark places do not need light.
NYC
Original Score or Soundtrack of pre-existing songs?
It is important to remember that some dark places do not need light.
Elephant Man
8 1/2 Women or The Cook, the Theif, His Wife, and Her Lover?
It is important to remember that some dark places do not need light.
The Cook et al, all the way...saw it in the theater when it was released and loved it and it also started my love affair with Helen Mirren.
let's go Cronenberg...Dead Ringers or Videodrome?
"Every day holds a new beginning and every hour holds the promise of an Invitation to Love."
Dead Ringers is one of the three most devastating films I've ever seen, so it wins.

Foreign animation: coherent subtitles or competent dubbing?
Coherent subtitles (does that make me a snob?)
Alien OR Aliens?
I hope they cannot see / The limitless potential / Building inside of me / To murder everything / I hope they cannot see / I am the great destroyer
oooh, good one! I have to go with Alien since it is in my top scary movies category, but Aliens is in my top sequels category too...
Which Mel Brooks film do you prefer? Blazing Saddles or Young Frankenstein? (For me it is YF, but don't let that influence you.)
"Every day holds a new beginning and every hour holds the promise of an Invitation to Love."
Young Frankenstein (no influence necessary, SCP - the scene with Gene Hackman kills me every time!)
Leonardo DiCaprio or Matt Damon? (and you can't say "Neither")
I hope they cannot see / The limitless potential / Building inside of me / To murder everything / I hope they cannot see / I am the great destroyer
DiCaprio, but I think they both have their place. (No, not in the bottom of a well.)
Adult Swim, or classic cartoons?

Watching a movie at home, would you rather have letterbox format but with commercials, or commercial-free but full-screen? (And you're right, it depends on the movie, but in general?)
widescreen with commercials (but my next question is, how heavily is it freakin' editied?)
hmmm...now I need a question? A three option question? Your favorite Peter Sellers character from Dr. Strangelove...Captain Mandrake? The President or Dr. Strangelove? I would have to go with Mandrake...
"Every day holds a new beginning and every hour holds the promise of an Invitation to Love."
The President ("Gentlemen, you can't fight in here - this is the War Room!")
Who was the better "feisty heroine" for Indiana Jones: Karen Allen or Kate Capshaw? (and where are they now?)
I hope they cannot see / The limitless potential / Building inside of me / To murder everything / I hope they cannot see / I am the great destroyer
Hearts of Darkness.
best Kenneth Branagh Shakespeare adaptation? Henry V, Much Ado About Nothing or Hamlet?
"Every day holds a new beginning and every hour holds the promise of an Invitation to Love."
Much Ado About Nothing (the other two were too long and up themselves! Dead Again was a better film than Henry V !!!)
David Bowie: "keep on acting" OR "stick to singing"?
I hope they cannot see / The limitless potential / Building inside of me / To murder everything / I hope they cannot see / I am the great destroyer
John Landis
Duel or The Car?
oh my goodness...The Car...I remember loving this movie as a kid so I'll pick because of pure nostalgia.
okay, Paul Newman in a Tennesse Williams based film: Sweet Bird of Youth or Cat on a Hot Tin Roof?
"Every day holds a new beginning and every hour holds the promise of an Invitation to Love."
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
in Fight Club - Edwart Norton or Brad Pitt ?
This isn't right... There's something wrong here...
Edward Norton... no contest.
Blade Runner: Original Version or Director's Cut?
I hope they cannot see / The limitless potential / Building inside of me / To murder everything / I hope they cannot see / I am the great destroyer
Black hawk down
Training Day or 25th Hour ?
This isn't right... There's something wrong here...
25th hour
rounders or american history x
Bleep you, & bleep the establishment, and bleep all of you who are trying to make me part of the unestablished establishment.
I have no idea what any of these is so let me answer something older :-)
Watching a movie at home, would you rather have letterbox format but with commercials, or commercial-free but full-screen? (And you're right, it depends on the movie, but in general?)
Anything without commercials!!!! Geez, I think I'd prefer half a screen without commercials.
Commercials totally kill movies!

Malcom X or Mississippi Burning?
Beauty is momentary in the mind -
The fitful tracing of a portal;
But in the flesh it is immortal.
The body dies; the body's beauty lives.
So evenings die, in their green going,
A wave, interminably flowing.
So gardens die, their meek breath scenting
the cowl of winter, done repenting.
So maidens die, to the auroral
Celebration of a maiden's choral.
Susanna's music touched the bawdy strings
Of those white elders; but, escaping,
Left only Death's ironic scraping.
Now in its immortality, it plays
On the clear viol of her memory,
And makes a constant sacrement of praise.
('Peter Quince at the Clavier' by Wallace Stevens)
Missisipi, at least it's shorter ;-)
Now in VERY general:
a 90 minute film
or
a 150 minute film ?

90 minutes. When they make movies near 3 hours long and it's not LotR they usually get slappy.
Adaptations for Michael Crichton's novels or for Steven King's ?
This isn't right... There's something wrong here...
