American Pie is not a good movie, it should not be leading here.

I was in high school in the nineties so I used to love American Pie. Sure it doesn't hold up very well but I bet alot of people have very fond memories of it. Hell, American Wedding was on the other day and I found myself watching the end of that so I guess you could say I am a fan of the whole series (not including the direct to DVD movies.)

To quote one review I found, "American Pie showed em how it was done. How you could make a teenage, gross-out comedy with a heart."

The Nightmare Before Christmas losing to American Pie would be sacrilege.

Those are the two I am thinking of voting on.

I have never really understood the love for Natural Born Killers and I normally like weird.

Yes.
I just voted for it. I really would like NBK to move on as well, but I didn't want to risk kicking out Nightmare in its place so I only gave one vote. I really hope it gets some more votes before the poll closes.

Really surprised to see Natural Born Killers bow out halfway through.

I think it's just a little too sadistic for some people's tastes.
