Please note it was Short Circuit 2 that was nominated, not the first Short Circuit. This was a point of some discussion back during the nomination process. But it's listed as just "Short Circuit" and the poster if also for the original (a much better film, in my opinion). And I see it has garnered three votes already, but very likely these are for SC1, not SC2. Unless we want to retroactively change that to SC1 now.

No H yet. I don't know what you're taking, but it must be good!
Steve Gutenberg didn't even come back for Short Circuit 2. So at least it has that going for it.
I definitely want to vote for Blade Runner and Inception, but I haven't seen Beyond the Black Rainbow or The Hidden.
So we're officially going with the original Short Circuit, not the sequel?
I'm joking. Don't ask me. I think switching would be unfair to the original contributor. But neither one has much chance anyway, IMO.
In that case the poster should be changed and the poll option.
Some good movies here. Blade Runner, for sure. However, I remember watching Virtuosity, what, 17 years ago or so and thinking just how bad it was. Russell Crowe's performance was positively cringe-inducing over-the-top cheese.
Over the top? He was like, emotionless and stoic.

Yeah really surprised seeing Virtuosity getting votes.
OMG. That scene where he was like conducting a symphony? That was MST3K bad. "Welcome to Death TV" ?? His facial expressions throughout the entire movie were certainly exaggerated and he kept doing this thing with his eyes. Define it how you like but it was annoying as hell. The Terminator was emotionless and stoic. Crowe was...something else.Over the top? He was like, emotionless and stoic.
I haven't seen this movie in ages so I just looked it up on YouTube and holy shitOMG. That scene where he was like conducting a symphony? That was MST3K bad. "Welcome to Death TV" ??

LAUGH MY ASS OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
That is Grade A, unfiltered, pure 90's cheesiness. I love it lol.
So are we voting for 1 or 2? The poll and the poster still don’t match.
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
The vote is for Short Circuit 2. Poll will be changed soon.
Just two votes for Black Rainbow. And six for Short Circuit 2
Blade Runner at the forefront of this group, as it should be.
Blade Runner is good, no doubt, but I think "Inception" was a slicker production. Granted it's more timely with regard to FX and all. Still a rather innovative premise and story line IMHO.Blade Runner at the forefront of this group, as it should be.

Apparently so, which is a shame, and it's available to stream on Netflix: http://www.netflix.com/WiMovie/70181693?trkid=13752289I think we are the only two who've seen Beyond the Black RainbowJust two votes for Black Rainbow. And six for Short Circuit 2
Such an original film, and such contests are often popularity contests, in a way - not that that's bad, but true gems like this are often overlooked while of course things like Blade Runner and Star Wars, while I love them too, garner nearly 100% of the vote.

Poll is closing in two days...
