Wow, this is the first group I've come across where I don't have real strong feelings one way or the other about any of the choices. Reservoir Dogs was ok but I've never gotten the hype for it. Ghost and Flatliners I remember watching on HBO or Cinemax at my parents house when I was kid.

Face-Off I always thought was just weird. Although I'm a fan of both actors and thought it was interesting seeing them trying to mimic the other one. The Ref I remember best because everyone tries to argue it's a Christmas movie. And Point Break is just one of those classic 90's movies that always get brought up when talking about the careers of either Keanu Reeves or Patrick Swayze.

All the choices are just kinda :shrug:

I think I clicked on the vote button too soon, probably should have voted for Ghost as well. Otherwise only voted for Flatliners.

Ok, I know I asked this question during the previous tournament, but how do we see who voted for what?

Click on any of the numbers of the total votes, it will show you who voted for each one.

Things appear to be pretty close in this one, even The Ref which is currently in last place isn't that far off.
