Haven't seen Scott Pilgrim or Black Dynamite yet. I did watch an episode of the Black Dynamite cartoon once, though.

Die Hard With a Vengeance and Live Free or Die Hard are two completely different movies. Just say'n, since you and Avaitor both listed the former.

Life is not about the second chances. It's about a little mouse and his voyage to an exciting new land. That, my friend, is what life is.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

My mistake. I'll fix that immediately.

Dr. Ensatsu-ken

I've actually seen all of these movies for a change.

Casino
The Grand Budapest Hotel
Total Recall
The Matrix

Hotel Rwanda
Back to the Future
Whiplash
Police Story

The second match was insanely tough for me. I adore all of those movies. Back to the Future is actually my favorite one of those, but I gave an edge to Hotel Rwanda which is really underrated and which will probably lose this round, anyways. That said, Back to the Future is easily one of the most re-watchable movies ever made. Whiplash is my second favorite film from last year, and J.K. Simmons's performance is amazing. Police Story is one of my all-time favorite foreign comedies, and this was made back when Jackie Chan was in his prime. Ranking all of those in the same match was just way too damn brutal.

The Grand Budapest Hotel
Casino
The Matrix
Total Recall

I can't vote on round 2, but I agree with E-K that Hotel Rwanda is amazing.

:lol: I was wondering why someone nominated one of the Matrix sequels until I saw the text! And Black Dynamite should have won the entire competition. :D
