I think it has a real good chance to go very far. After all, it won our Best Sc-Fi Movie tournament.

Wow! That's right. I completely forgot about that.

[mae]

Yeah, in the Final against Terminator 2. Let's hope there's no fate but what we make for ourselves, and history doesn't repeat itself.

I've sent a Terminator back in time to dispose of the 12 Monkeys voters.

Unfortunately, the 12 Monkey-ers sent their own Terminator. A protector.

It's just a question of which one of them will reach them first.

[Jean]

12 monkeys voters have shapeshifting bears among them

[Heather19]

Oh wow, I forgot 12 Monkeys won. I'll have to go look back at the polls. Curious now what other films were near the top.

Awesome, thanks Mae!

[fernandito]

Damn, I forgot that 12 Monkeys won by just one vote! What a great tournament that was.

Hopefully the timeline provides a different outcome this time.

[mae]

Home Alone and Sleepless in Seattle tied for last with What About Bob one vote back.
